Well, I'm a biologist and a medical doctor. Am I qualified to answer?

The difference is NdT is perceived by millions as "the science guy" aka the ultimate authority on everything scientific. Which he isn't. His opinion on this topic is as good as yours or mine.
In my opinion this isn't a scientific question, but more the question of whether we want to give companies like Monsanto (http://videosift.com/video/The-World-According-to-Monsanto-A-documentary) more money and power.

If you reject GM food as "unnatural" ...

I never said that.

I would also like an honest answer for the question, "Which is worse, world starvation or effects of GM food?"

Do you still beat your wife?
Sorry that's a BS question. Who says, we don't have enough food to feed seven billions? I'd rather make the point that distribution is the problem.

Well, I go to my facebook page and the first post is this. Have you seen it? Can you access facebook?

Nederlands Dans Theater (NDT)

SHOOT THE MOON, choreography by Sol León & Paul Lightfoot, (Part of Programme III, Premiere 19 DEC 2012)

Um...yes, that's what SHE likely meant, (didn't the woman say that?) but not what I said, which you must have misread since you claimed NDT contradicted it.
I said their claim only made sense if you ONLY take late fall and winter into account and discount the rest of the year, when the ice caps are shrinking.

WHAT?!? I certainly didn't hear him say that ice no longer forms in the cold months at the poles, which is what I said, and I did watch (and I also trust NDT's simple explanations). It simply doesn't form as fast in the cold months as it melts in the hot months, so as a whole it's melting.
Weather VS climate...keep your eye on the man, not the dog.

Cosmos last night says this isn't true either. I trust NDT over anyone.

While I agree with what NDT said in the linked video and the points made here (by Mitchell especially), I must also point out that it's quite understandable that some atheists turn out to be obnoxious douchebags. While people like Hitchens might be prime examples of that we shouldn't forget how the other end of the religious spectrum looks like when it comes to extremety and obnoxiousness. Let's not forget, nobody straps on an explosive vest to prove there is no god.
I take douchebags over murderers any time.

I <3 NDT

I fucking loved that line "Everyone is stupid, except NDT" (just paraphrasing)

The first half is very good. He kinda loses his thesis though. Upvote for discussion.

Edit: NDT says something in line with the first half of this video:

"We spend the first year teaching children to walk and talk and the rest of their lives telling them to shut up and sit down."

Agreed. It was a very good talk, but I can totally see NDT blowing that place up with knowledge.

Sit down, NDT, and let Krause pwn you.

Grrrr... shut up, NDT!!! Please put him on the next probe to Jupiter!

*promote all things NDT and good science talks

Fuckin love NDT. No homo...the guy is just amazingly cool.
