Reply to comment by johnn48 in Biotech chestnut tree poised to restore lost ecosystems and biodiversity — But it needs your help by Spiffydude98

Nature isn't responsible for global commerce, high speed travel, and the dramatic changes to the climate. So we either fix all the stuff we're doing to break the environment or we devise solutions to help nature cope. Both would be nice.

Exactly GMO’s by themselves aren’t bad it’s how they are used and distributed. Too often the “back to nature” crowd aren’t willing to come-up with solutions that are economically feasible and mitigate some of the destructive effects of having 8 Billion people on a planet that’s only designed for 4.5 Billion /s.
