The GM crops will immediately disappear. GM crops do not replicate themselves. But herbicide resistant plants are arising about one a year. Already ragweed and pigweed are herbicide resistant due to too many using only Roundup rather than rotating their weed control solutions.

So when a new amphibian species rises from the oceans to become the dominant predator, they must culture ragweed as a food source. And will not worry about Gluton free products.

Not so, sir.

That they absolutely *do* replicate is precisely the source of conflict between the factory farmers who use such technologies and the organic farmers downwind whose livelihood is in jeopardy from contamination by the "non-virginal" replicators of the same species.
