First they say :
Area the size of Ireland could be lost to conventional farming as global warming accelerates, says environmental study?
Then :
Plans to make European motorists use more biofuels could take an area the size of Ireland out of food production by 2020 and accelerate climate change, a study has found.
So let’s get this straight. Greens come up with a stupid idea to combat global warming, Then they blame their idea on global warming. Brilliant.
Size of Iceland?
How many Manhattans is that?
Ireland
Yep.
Don’t forget that they’ve got the game rigged; everything causes global warming. A Ponzi scheme for science.
With Sufficient funds they can reevaluate the data and find that it is twice as bad as previously thought.
More political gifting to the agricultural lobby as farmers make more money on crops for fuel (subsidies) than food. Ethanol is just as or more polluting as gas depending on source and lowers gas mileage. New 15% gas mix allowances have the potential to damage lawn equipment and older model cars. Food prices escalate which hurts poor nations directly. Poor use of resources inthe end.

So if Global Warming occurs wouldn’t an even larger amount of arable land be available for farming and growing seasons increase do to higher temperatures?
By farmland in Greenland, NOW!
