Corn Prices Set New Record
Posted in Food on 10 June 2008

The spin in this article is easy to spot.  New record prices for corn are caused by midwest rain, rising oil costs and a falling dollar.  Six paragraphs into the article there is a mention of a push to grow corn for ethanol.  Regardless, corn prices are up to $6.73 per bushel and soy, wheat [...]

No Contingency Food Plan for Cooling Planet
Posted in Food, Global Warming Hoax Lead Story on 8 June 2008

As I was reading an article over at Hypisthermal’s site (Source: hypsithermal.wordpress.com) on Kansas farmers trying to grow food in cool weather, I immediately began to ponder the possibilities of global cooling.  While my blog typically points out the lifestyle changes and tax consequences of global warming, it’s important to remember what can happen if the [...]

Want to Go Green? Leave the Cows Alone
Posted in Food on 14 May 2008

In the most ridiculous and blatant attempt to change your lifestyle, ABC News is suggesting that we all cut back on our meat consumption by one-quarter. The problem? Livestock are just too darn bad for the environment. Cows are fed soy and corn and, pay attention, [...]

Posted in Al Gore, Global Warming Hoax Lead Story on 6 May 2008

Amid a frenzy of news reports covering backlash over skyrocketing food prices due to the corn-based ethanol boondoggle, the global warming hoax could be in trouble.
Time Magazine recently reported in the Clean Energy Scam that rain forests were disappearing at an alarming rate, thanks to biofuel use.  The sad part about biofuels is that they are less [...]

Posted in Food on 2 May 2008

The Washington Post published an article on Wednesday that noted the real reason for skyrocketing food prices and soaring demand:  corn-based ethanol.  A farmer interviewed for the article claims that he’s receiving $5.50 per bushel of corn, which is about the double what he received two years ago.  He says that instead of loading up [...]

Today’s Lebanon Democrat column: “Promotion of ethanol contributed to food crisis”
Posted in Food on 29 April 2008

Finally the Democrats are waking up to the problem they caused due to the global warming hoax:  soaring food prices and starvation from ethanol mandates.  Thanks to most of the liberals, and some of the conservatives, including President Bush, who signed a mandate to increase ethanol use, the poor can no longer afford food and [...]

Hypocrisy and Arrogance of Global Warming Activists
Posted in Commentary, Global Warming Hoax Lead Story on 20 April 2008

I’m constantly amazed at the pure arrogance and hypocrisy displayed by the global warming crowd.  Beginning with Al Gore’s statement that the global warming debate is over to current day, the environmental left in this country, and world, show little regard for human life and, instead, use fear-mongering, incomplete data and pure speculation to push [...]

Thanks to the new biofuel ethanol, food prices have skyrocketed at a rate fastest in 17 years. From the article:

Biofuels: Achilles Heel of Global Warming
Posted in Alternative Fuel Sources, Global Warming Hoax Lead Story on 7 April 2008

As the myth around global warming begins to unravel and Operation Desperation sets in, it’s important for the public to know why biofuels aren’t the answer to solving global warming.
For those that don’t know, biofuels are alternative energy sources derived from living matter, as opposed to fossil fuels, such as oil, which are derived from [...]
