English term or phrase: GMO climate change myth bites the dust
***GMO climate change myth bites the dust***

The role of no-till agriculture in mitigating climate change is "widely overstated", according to a new review published in Nature (http://gmwatch.org/index.php/news/archive/2014/15563). In no-till with GM herbicide-tolerant crop systems, weeds are controlled not through ploughing but through herbicide applications.


Hat jemand eine kreative Idee für diese Überschrift? Hier meine bisherige Lösung:


***Der Mythos [Die Mär] der klimafreundlichen Gentechnik***

Der Beitrag von pflugloser Bodenbearbeitung im Kampf gegen den Klimawandel wird laut einem neuen Bericht in der Zeitschrift Nature „stark überschätzt“ (http://gmwatch.org/index.php/news/archive/2014/15563). Bei der Direktsaat von herbizidtoleranten GV-Pflanzen wird Unkraut nicht durch Pflügen kontrolliert, sondern durch Herbizideinsatz.

agree  Björn Vrooman: That's nice! Best matches "myth". "Mythos" would be too fancy since we're not digging up some Greek epics.
