Yet this is manifestly untrue, as evidenced by a publication entitled “Statement: No scientific consensus on GMO safety”, signed by some 300 scientists and other experts [1] independent of the GM industry. The dichotomy between GM proponents and GM critics exemplifies the conclusions of Kvakkestad et al. [2], who interviewed 62 scientists from universities or industry working in the fields of molecular biology, ecology and conventional plant breeding. Of these, 92% could be classified into one of two groups: one with a moderately negative attitude and the other with a positive attitude toward GM crops. The second group contained no ecologists but all of the scientists working in the GM industry. Another study by Diels et al. [3] examined 94 articles and found that a favourable opinion about a GM crop was associated with a professional conflict of interest. Data on financial conflicts of interest was scarce, as funding was in many cases undeclared, although articles that did not declare funding tended to be associated with a favourable outcome. The claim of consensus is widely made in an apparent effort to persuade the public and discredit the scientists who refute it with scientific evidence. In order to silence such scientists, various methods have been employed, such as defamation of a researcher’s competence, ad hominem attacks and even physical threats. In the past, Árpád Pusztai [4] and Ignacio Chapela [5] have been notable victims of a covert campaign to achieve retraction, on spurious grounds, of results unfavourable to the GM industry. The retraction of the Séralini et al. (2012) paper [6] is especially irrational because the work, which found harm from a GM maize in a laboratory feeding trial, was essentially a superior","PeriodicalId":88911,"journal":{"name":"Journal of biological physics and chemistry : JBPC","volume":"18 1","pages":"32-56"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49114277","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A considerable body of academic work has arisen around the \"circular economy\", mostly of recent origin, even though the roots of the concept go back decades and even centuries. On the whole the field seems to suffer from a dearth of analytical thinking, and much of the literature is little more than polemics between supporters and detractors, along with the loose injection of words like \"entropy\". On the material plane, at the atomic level everything is recycled, except hydrogen and helium; at higher levels involving sophisticated superatomic structures, an illusion of recycling may depend on inadequate definitions of materials that fail to capture all their essential features (for example, paper cannot be endlessly recycled because the cellulose fibres are progressively shortened). This paper seeks to establish what precisely sustainability and the circular economy mean, what the intentions of their protagonists are, and how they fit in with alternative moral schemata, notably the individual versus the social. The goal of our investigation is to establish whether the circular economy can make any claim on our attention as a worthwhile pursuit.","PeriodicalId":88911,"journal":{"name":"Journal of biological physics and chemistry : JBPC","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46527743","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
