Biofuels Harm the Environment

In honor of Blog Action Day, here is my environment related post...

A recent Guardian article suggests that environmentalists may be doing harm to the environment by pushing biofeuls.

This isn't something that you will readily hear in the United States. There is so much suppression of real debate by the left leaning media that this bit of news is conveniently overlooked.

The article states that:

Increasing production of biofuels to combat climate change will release between two and nine times more carbon gases over the next 30 years than fossil fuels, according to the first comprehensive analysis of emissions from biofuels.

The study warns that forests must not be cleared to make way for biofuel crops. Clearing forests produces an immediate release of carbon gases into the atmosphere, accompanied by a loss of habitats, wildlife and livelihoods, the researchers said.

America loves its junk science doesn't it? We have Al Gore and Leonardo DiCaprio telling us about global warming. We have scientists scratching their heads saying, "wait.. that's not exactly true..." and "well, that's not really whats happening." But we side with Gore over the scientists.

Gimme a big heaping plate of that good ol' junk science please...
