I mentioned before that I often disagree with Britain's climate columnist, George Monbiot, because I find him often overstated and alarmist.

But he's also often right.

This is his latest, in reference to my previous post:


"So here's what we gain from the biofuels trade:

1. Global environmental destruction
2. Higher greenhouse gas emissions
3. Mass starvation
4. The loss of hundreds of millions of dollars
5. The prospect of a new trade war.

Is there anyone out there who still thinks they are a good idea?"
