More people are expected to die of famine in Africa than imprinting a larger CO2 footprint. ‘Al Gore Environmental policies’ are aimed at ‘Robbing Peter paying Paul.’ Green based priorities are creating severe food shortages. Hunger in African will kill faster and will have larger impact on the flimsy structure of the growing under class of the world. Is human life less than a computer driven theoretical reading of rising CO2 emissions?
In barely a half-decade, biofuels have turned from the darling of environmentalists and policymakers - confident that petrol made from corn, soybeans or other plants would not just relieve us of our dependency on volatile Arab oil, but reduce CO2 emissions in the process - to the target of blame for massive economic upheaval and environmental destruction. The UN’s Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food recently labeled biofuels a “crime against humanity,” for burning crops that could be used to fight hunger, as fuel. “The farms have been put to biofuel production creating a shortage of food and therefore creating a problem of high prices,” said Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete, president of the African Union this week.
