Environmentalism's Nihilistic Impulse, Part 3

Now I'm really confused.

In the last item, I link to a report that has the U.K government-owned BBC banning climate skeptics in favor of the majority consensus of scientists, based on the recommendation of Steve Jones, a professor of genetics.

So I assumed that genetics was some branch of science.  Now comes word that Greenpeace activists have destroyed a crop of genetically modified wheat being grown by the Australian government.  (To his credit, Prof. Jones did list GM foods as another issue in his BBC report).

Does the environmental movement like science or not?
