The GMO debate is much like the climate change debate - both sidelined with people focusing on the wrong things. Climate change is real, and does not necessarily matter that humans are the cause. We are certainly damaging the planet with all of our pollutants - is that not enough reason to do something about it? Why focus on climate? Pretty much most of the planet is in trouble.
The real problem with GMOs is the fact that something may happen that causes global failure of some crops, since GMOs lack diversification. Natural species often vary enough that global disasters are rare. With the replacement of regular carrots a 'super carrot', the global carrot population could potentially fall to some super pathogen or environmental condition.
