OK, I know I'm gonna go to hell when I die, but someone needs to say this: You won't combat climate change by trying to take things people love away from them.
If we promote innovative industries, we'll have a chance.
Stop the opportunistic green hypocrisy.

“Genetic engineering isn’t going to be the only tool, but it’s a good one," says @Sarah_Evanega. "To not use it is like asking a plant breeder to use an abacus instead of a calculator.”

Dear SA Media. Johnny Clegg was African. In African culture we don't say "died", out of respect. In my home language IsiXhosa we say "uswelekile" or "ubhubhile" or "usishiyile" - the latter one translated as "passed away". Please use "passes away" or "passes on". Thank you
South African musician & anti-apartheid activist Johnny Clegg has died at age 66.
His multi-racial bands mixed Zulu and European folk, challenging white minority rule despite censorship and arrests.
Jonny Clegg chose the oppressed and left all the privileges he could have enjoyed. Then embraced the isiZulu Culture and spoke Black man's language with pride. You're one of a kind. Rest in Peace "Johnny Clegg"
@NPR Johnny Clegg wrote his 1987 song "Asimbonanga" for Nelson Mandela. It became an anthem for South Africa's freedom fighters. https://t.co/q4ehRfstkA
