Carbon - Ethanol, reaping what you sow
It’s nice to finally see somebody make this comparison:
1. GW alarmists cry about renewable fuels and other ways to combat GW since, reasoning that, among other things, the poor will starve if Earth’s temperatures rise:
Mounting political panic over carbon emissions has encouraged politicians in European and America to raise targets for the biofuel content in a litre of petrol.
2. World increases ethanol production in response.
“There is a new demand component,” Shayle Shagam, a livestock analyst at USDA, said. “Livestock producers have to bid against the ethanol industry to get supplies of corn.”
3. Food prices rise.
The USDA predicts that food prices will rise by up to 3.5 per cent this year as farmers rein in output in response to feedstock costs.
