Biofuel Vehicles to Put Our Health at Risk

The latest scientific research reveals that biofuels used in vehicles may be more harmful for human health than the petrol used today. By 2020, 10% of all transport means should run on biofuels as agreed by the EU. ...

This article is missing the fact that the quality of air is going to decline no matter what we do because the process is delayed-the effects of petroleum fuels will be ongoing even if we stop using them today. What the switch to biodiesel would do is lessen the harmful effects that we will see in 2020.

it would be better for everyone to stop eating meat anyway so instead of eating meat we could use eggs for protein although i am very sad to admit this because i just love love loooovee to eat meat. ^_^
also think of all the childeren who are dying because they dont have enough to buy food. look at us i mean like were suffering from obesity!!!!
The US is suffering from obesity because were so lazy now that we machines to do the work for us. But the people in those countries are starving to death and they work by hand. i mean like were getting fatter by the minute and the other countries are starving how lame is that i feel greedy and guilty. i just hate that feeling. anyway so likee yeah

If we stopped eating meat, there would be a lot more grain and land for farming. The amount of grain it takes to make one pound of beef could feed 40 people. It's time to stop averting the "annoying vegetarian argument" and face the facts: eating meat deprives others of valueable food.

Think about it. Is your burger really worth it?

Food, energy and water are the only wealth that matters, until this simple fact is
widely accepted there can be no solution to the food crisis. It is my contention that
the governments will never take a logical approach to the food crisis because it is
unprofitable (the poor have a negative value to them) and the corporations will not
allow it. Any solution will have to come from the billions of people worldwide that
are not members of the elite.

The problem is atmospheric carbon, the solution is water, some places have
too much and others too little. If we pump the water from areas that have
too much water to the arid regions for irrigation we could actually lower
the concentration of atmospheric carbon. I offer as proof the NOAA CO2 chart
 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/carbonlevels/  the chart clearly shows
that CO2 levels drop by 6 ppm every northern hemisphere summer. I attribute
this to the fact that more vegetation is growing during the northern
hemisphere summer. At the rate of 6 ppm per year it would take about 18
years to reach the carbon level set in 1750 AD, after that a certain amount
of carbon would have to be added to the atmosphere to keep the carbon level
at that point. If carbon were allowed to drop below a set limit it would
trigger an ice age.

Cheap rafts made from waste plastic bottles
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiral_Island  could collect rainfall from the
oceans and produce energy at the same time. There are millions of square
miles of arid land (expanding daily) that could be used to grow vegetation
if only enough pure water were made available, the rafts could supply all
the water needed. Since the rafts would cover millions of square miles of
ocean they would lower the water temperature and provide a breeding
sanctuary from overfishing.

The reclaimed desert areas would provide small farms for refugees and the
homeless. Since the islands can be made at almost no cost using simple hand
tools there would be jobs for billions of third world workers and ensuring
that they have good food, clean water and adequate housing. If the rich
nations do not want to give up their lifestyle then they had better take
notice of the world around them and fix the problem.

ahhmm, it's not bad to cut trees and practice deforestation if it is for the sake of of the poor but it must be replaced with more than 10,000 trees for the future use and to prevent flashfloods and landslides as well as supertyphoons...
