Minnesotans for Global Warming

Hi from the Land of 10,000 Frozen Lakes. Sing along, it'll warm you up!:) Video:Awk! They're worried about global COOLING now! And we wouldn't have to worry about running out of food, caused by those polluting bio-fuels. NY Times:
Almost all biofuels used today cause more greenhouse gas emissions than conventional fuels if the full emissions costs of producing these “green” fuels are taken into account, two studies being published Thursday have concluded...

These plant-based fuels were originally billed as better than fossil fuels because the carbon released when they were burned was balanced by the carbon absorbed when the plants grew. But even that equation proved overly simplistic because the process of turning plants into fuels causes its own emissions — for refining and transport, for example.

Or get in fights over cutting down trees shading the neighbor's solar panels.

UPDATE: My friend Mick Stockinger, "Fossil Fuels Greener than Bio-fuels":) Nyah, nyah.
