I don't see the disconnect. On climate change, the left have a strong distrust of corporations to do the right thing. They believe that polluting industry will put profits ahead of the well being of the environment.

On GMO labelling, the left have a strong distrust of corporations to do the right thing. They believe that Monsanto, Dupont et al will put profits ahead of the well being of the environment.

GMO's may produce more viable product, but they are making third world farmers go bankrupt:

I think Monsanto is a disgusting company.

I think they should be labelled so that I can choose whether to buy them or not. I wouldn't avoid them on health grounds, but rather moral/ethical grounds. I think it perfectly SAFE to wear clothes made by 12 year olds in a sweatshop.... I just think it morally reprehensible. Just like Monsanto's business practices.
