How Biofuels Are Causing Starvation

It was bound to happen. The man-made-global-warming types have gotten so out of control in the past few years that they have invited the diversion of significant crops and farm land toward the creation of biofuels. Now, due to reduced output of food, people around the world are starving to death, and rioting about it.

And finally, the mainstream media has begun paying attention.

It takes 232kg of corn to fill up a car's gas tank with ethanol. But the same amount could feed a child for an entire year. Al Gore and friends have managed to arouse enough paranoia to forge an alliance with the ethanol industry and the Congressmen who subsidize that industry, to encourage more farm land to go toward the creation of highly inefficient ethanol, and away from food production.

Now Al Gore and those same people who have called everyone else immoral for not jumping on their bandwagon are prime culprits in the world-wide famines. And so far, they seem to be OK with that.
