It is only a matter of time until some true believer calls for the eradication of the moose. For the good of the planet, of course. They're already doing it to the orangutans.

It is also leading to the eradication of the orangutans. Not to mention the looming water shortages and global food shortages. A lot of things that are being pushed as solutions for global warming are, in fact, much worse for the planet than is being acknowledged by the true believers. Take a look at Sudbury, Ontario if you don't believe it. You can see that from space.

You know, minor things like the complete destruction of the rainforests and genocide of the orangutans. I've also written about warnings - from bona fide experts - that food prices across the globe are very likely going to rise by 40-80% as a direct result of diversion of food into biofuel. Not enough to worry about yet? How about one more dire warning from still other experts: The rush to produce biofuels is very likely to cause diversion of precious water resources away from food production, making the looming crisis even worse. Biofuels, which are made from crops, require huge amounts of water, a resource that is already in short supply in many parts of the world. Bioenergy could thus end up diverting water resources desperately needed for food crops. [...] [...] I posted about the extremely negative impact of the biofuel craze on rainforests and orangutans.
