Food riots in a dozen regions of the world tell us that millions were flung into starvation and death by the doubling of world food prices that resulted directly from the biofuel scam
A recent 10-year evaluation of native grassland perennials by the [[University of Minnesota]] concluded that biofuels from this source could displace about 13% of global petroleum without losing agricultural land. Their study indicated that the process was carbon negative in that it removed more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere than was released by the combustion of fossil-fuel during the processes involved in agriculture, transportation and processing. Opponents of this kind of land use point out, however, that in the US the use of corn to produce ethanol encourages monoculture farming, which leaves soils eroded and water polluted. <ref>http://www.grist.org/news/maindish/2006/12/05/olmstead/</ref>

There is a concern that the production of biofuels will reduce the amount of food, and thus raise food prices. High food prices most affect poor people, who spend a larger percentage of their income on food. <ref>See [http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/5369284.stm news]</ref>

* Food riots in a dozen regions of the world tell us that millions were flung into starvation and death by the doubling of world food prices that, according to the U.N., resulted directly from the biofuel scam that is one of many pernicious spin-offs from what professor Niklas Mörner has called “the greatest lie ever told” – the global warming scare.
