Global Warming - Be careful what you "fix"
I sure hope the powers that be, think long and hard before making any decisions based on the current "good ideas" about fixing "global warming".

In the U.K., Lewis Smith, the Environmental Reporter for TimesOnLine reports:
"Professor Smith told Chemistry World: 'The significance of it is that the supposed benefits of biofuels are even more disputable than had been thought hitherto.' It was accepted by the scientists that other factors, such as the use of fossil fuels to produce fertiliser, have yet to be fully analysed for their impact on overall figures. But they concluded that the biofuels 'can contribute as much or more to global warming by N2 O emissions than cooling by fossil-fuel savings'."
