"We examined crop data to evaluate whether enough CO2 was absorbed on
farmland to balance out the CO2 emitted when biofuels are burned. It
turns out that once all the emissions associated with growing feedstock
crops and manufacturing biofuel are factored in, biofuels actually
increase CO2 emissions rather than reducing them."
Why Biofuels Are a Big Climate Mistake
Human knowledge has progressed exponentially since the dawn of modern science. It is no longer reasonable to accept claims without sufficient objective evidence. The harm from religion, alternatives to medicine, conservatism, and all other false beliefs will be exposed on this blog by reporting the findings of science. This blog will also reinforce what should be the basics of education: History, Civics, Financial Literacy, Media Literacy, and Critical/Science Based Thinking.

The Problems With Biofuels
"No one study is ever going to be the final word on a complex question
like the net effects of using biofuels. This is also a moving target as
production methods are slowly improving over time. Further, researchers
are looking into using different feedstocks and different methods of
production. This analysis, for example, would not apply if we figure out
a way of using algae for feedstock and bacteria to convert it to
biofuels."
