Mexico has been making bold policy moves against genetically modified crops and the toxic pesticides they were engineered to be grown with, by phasing-out imports of GMO corn and showing its support for food sovereignty, soil regeneration and agroecology.
But, how serious could Mexico be, if it is now ceding its national sovereignty to a three-person panel of the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) under which the United States is challenging its 2023 Corn Decree?
Supposedly, Mexico wants food sovereignty and self-sufficiency, but apparently, it values trade with the United States and Canada so much that it is willing to let its democratically enacted laws be superseded by this so-called âfree-tradeâ agreement. (Whatâs so âfreeâ about it, if it can be used to force a country to import stuff it doesnât want?!)

TAKE ACTION: Tell your state legislators to say no to solar geoengineering!
â[W]hen you start to reflect light away from the planet, you can easily imagine a chain of events that would extinguish life on earth.â
Thatâs what David Keith, one of the worldâs top solar engineering scientists, told the New Yorker about his own lifeâs work.
With a warning like that, itâs easy to see why Mexico is banning solar geoengineering. That, and the fact that a start-up called âMake Sunsetsâ was caught trying to block the sun in Baja California Surâwithout permission from, or even notifying, the government!
Moving in the other direction, the Biden Administration is officially exploring ways to stop sunlight from reaching the Earth, while the European Union has recently floated âa potential international frameworkâ for going forward with research into this misguided and ineffective attempt to address the global climate crisis.
Few policy makers in the U.S. have tried to wrap their heads around this issue, but a group of Rhode Island state legislators have drafted a bill, the Atmosphere Protection Act thatâs a great introduction.
