Here is
another story about how even when we are trying to slow down global warming, we are still causing it.
Do you get the feeling that none of these climate change "scientists" have any idea what is going on?
Biofuels such as ethanol from corn and biodiesel from palm oil typically start out with a "carbon debt."
Before these biofuels could reduce individual carbon dioxide emissions, they would first have to pay off this debt, which would take decades or centuries.
The big thing now is to count carbon weight. Climate scientists are measuring all the carbon any given thing gives off naturally, then add that to any changes we make to it, and then subtract that from the benefit we are trying to make from it.. But what we are finding is that everything efeects everything else and when we try to change it, well, we create more carbon.
So, according to these really smart scientists, carbon is the problem and we need to put the Earth on a diet; start counting the Earth's carbon calories.
