New study to force ministers to review climate change planExclusive
Official review admits biofuel role in food crisis
Julian Borger and John Vidal The Guardian, Thursday June 19 2008
Article historyBritain and Europe will be forced to fundamentally
rethink a central part of their environment strategy after a
government report found that the rush to develop biofuels has played a
"significant" role in the dramatic rise in global food prices, which
has left 100 million more people without enough to eat.

That biofuels are a two-edged sword was never disputed. Tom way
saying that the whole global warming thing is a myth and that human
activity has no effect on the planet's climate. So I'm not sure why
you're awarding the medal...

Agreed. Biofuels, when not derived from waste product, are an abomination
and an insult to humanity. The idea that it's more important to feed our
cars than our mouths... what could be more absurd? And not only do the
economics not work out, but it's tough to show that you're actually gaining
energy too, after you factor in everything that goes into growing crops.

But as you say, what does this have to do with awarding points to TK? His
attitude is simply that global warming itself is a myth. The only reason
he'd care about biofuels is if it puts cheaper gas into his tank. Not that
there's anything wrong with that concept, to a point.

Dumbass -


You want to give that moron a medal for that conclusion?

It's a given: if corn is used for a non-food purpose, there will be
less corn for food. Duh.

And no, I don't support corn based ethanol subsidies.


thanks,

You're getting soft in your old age. I don't support corn based corn
subsidies, corn fed beef, beef fed beef and lots of other it-seemed-
like-a-good-idea-at-the-time idiocies.

You don't have a choice but to support them.

I support afternoon training rides, but not willingly.

Could I get you to support killing piggies and destroying crops? Such
policies grow the middle class.

Could I get you to support "old"-age retirement benefits? You know,
if less people are producing, then more will be produced. That will
grow the middle class.

Less is more, you know.

If you're talking about killing my toes, no. If you're talking about
reducing the cultivated biomass, yes. Too many people anyway.

You could get me to support Logan's Run-esque culling of the naked ape
herd.

You're telling this to a group of bike racing dweebs, whose idea of
physical perfection looks much like it walked out of Auschwitz, and
who obsess over extra grams of weight on their bikes? Why?

Tom's not always wrong, but he too frequently adopts a shotgun approach.
Throws a whole bunch of arguments out at once, then switches back and
forth between them.

Every month or so, Bill comes across something that validates one of
Tom's thousands of arguments. Then he gets confused and thinks it
validates them all. Or something, I don't get it.

If the we-meme operates strongly enough, then confusion is not erased
but automatically bypassed.

Kun-Kun claimed that greenies wanted to fight global
warming by taking drastic measures that would genocidally
kill off many people in the third world. Eventually, I think he
explained that this would happen because greenies ->
biofuels -> increase in crop prices. Since biofuels are
neither a serious proposed solution to global warming nor
particularly beloved by greenies anymore (ADM,
Supermarket to the World likes them though), this had an
definite whiff of the Chewbacca Defense.
