Croplife was only one of the links. And a lot of the sources on the other side are also biased, organizations campaigning against GMOs or just GM crops and such.

In any case the fact that pesticide resistant GM crops result in more pesticide use (but fewer pesticide types, and often less toxic pesticides), doesn't change the fact that other crops, that are modified to be pest resistant result in less pesticide use, but your always campaigning against GM crops, not some specific pesticide resistance modification.

Also pesticide use is only one issue, and not a particularly key one. Higher yields from GM crops are extremely important.
