Global Alarmists (aka liberals) are causing the global food crisis.

You guys are a joke. You deserve the equal blame for the troubles in the United States with the politicians because you elect these idiots into congress and the house. And i'm not targeting all liberals in general, I'm only targeting all the liberals in Washington D.C. The biggest disaster in the last 8 years isnt President Bush, it is the Congress, UNDER BOTH PARTIES, who have spent like drunken sailors and expanded government at a historic rate. I also blame the fake conservatives like John McCain, George Bush, and the other repubicans in the House and Congress for this food crisis problem. Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, editor of International Business, said "the mass diversion of the North American grain harvest into ethanol plants for fuel is reaching its political and moral limits." "The reality is that people are dying already," said Jacques Diouf, of the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). "Naturally people won't be sitting dying of starvation, they will react," he said. The UN says it takes 511 POUNDS of corn to fill a 50-litre car tank with ethanol. THAT IS ENOUGH TO FEED A CHILD FOR A YEAR. Last week, the UN predicted "massacres" unless the biofuel policy is halted. (This is the UN by the way that so firmly champions the global warming cause as well.) Pritchard said, "We are all part of this drama whether we fill up with petrol or ethanol. The substitution effect across global markets makes the two morally identical." Mr. Diouf says world grain stocks have fallen to a quarter-century low of 5m tonnes, rations for eight to 12 weeks. America - the world's food superpower - will divert 18% of its grain output for ethanol this year, chiefly to break dependency on oil imports. It has a 45% biofuel target for corn by 2015. The EU has targeted a 5.75% biofuel share by 2010, though that may change. Europe's farm ministers are to debate a measure this week ensuring "absolute priority" for food output. "The world food situation is very serious: we have seen riots in Egypt, Cameroon, Haiti and Burkina Faso," said Mr Diouf. "There is a risk that this unrest will spread in countries where 50% to 60% of income goes to food," he said. -Haiti's government fell over the weekend following rice and bean riots. Five died. -The global food bill has risen 57% in the last year. Soaring freight rates make it worse. The cost of food "on the table" has jumped by 74% in poor countries that rely on imports, according to the FAO. -Goldman Sachs says the cost of ethanol from corn is $81 a barrel (oil equivalent), with wheat at $145 and soybeans $232. It is built on subsidy. -"The idea that you cut down rainforest to actually grow biofuels seems profoundly stupid," said Professor John Beddington, Britain's chief scientific adviser. -Whatever the arguments, politics is intruding. Food export controls have been imposed by Russia, China, India, Vietnam, Argentina, and Serbia. We are disturbingly close to a chain reaction that could shatter our assumptions about food security. _The Philippines - a country with ample foreign reserves of $36 billion (Britain has $27billion) - last week had to enlist its embassies to hunt for grain supplies after China withheld shipments. Washington stepped in, pledging "absolutely" to cover Philippine grain needs. A new Cold War is taking shape, around energy and food. -The world intelligentsia has been asleep at the wheel. While we rage over global warming, global hunger has swept in under the radar screen. http://www.telegraph.co.uk... ALL THIS, IN THE NAME OF GLOBAL WARMING. -Do we not remember what happened when all the libs in the house banned DDT in africa for the good of the environment??
