Certainly agree that the revolving door in USA and here stinks. But you haven't posted a link for a revolving door into Scientific American who published the article that looked rationally at the evidence.

 

There may or may not be a revolving door for that as well. Monsanto propagandist Ronald hoodwinks Scientific American (again) | Natural Grocers

As you say "an insight to the scientific evidential position" - While increased AChE activity was found in all fields after 2 weeks of exposure, bees close to conventional maize crops showed values higher than those in both organic maize fields and non-cultivated areas. In caged bees, AChE activity increased in response to neonicotinoids, and a slight decrease was observed by glyphosate.

---Did you actually read it???

No, it bored me to tears!

 

Probably best just to stumble blindly forward killing the natural environment with chemicals, that'd be one option I guess.....

It does concern me this report, I hate to think how much round up I have used over the years, but I have always treated it as another man made chemical with caution despite all that they said it was safe to be used. I used to hate Asulox with a passion think Round Up will be the same.

Is there any effective safe weed/ shrub killer?

 

 

I think that is a very interesting question, one example spraying Bracken. Nowadays I use a Bracken bruiser roller I pull behind my quad when a site allows me too rather than spray chemicals
