The video accomplishes something that Americans seem unable to: induce obvious conclusions from obvious actions.
Report thisSince ethanol is a tag of importance, it would also be instructive to let fuel-users know that turning Brazil and the US into massive agricultural fuel monocultures will further the extinction of thousands to millions of species of plants, fungi, animals, and other organisms.
Global warming will extinguish ecosystems; co-opting tropical and temperate photosynthesis for massive ethanol production promises to drive nearly as much of life’s diversity into extinction.
