'Hysteria'
"Global warming hysteria -- a boon for the ethanol and other biofuel enterprises -- has boosted demand for crop-based fuels worldwide. ...
"The cost of food has jumped over 10 percent in India over the past year, and 6 percent in China, according to the Wall Street Journal. This is partly due to the diversion of corn to biofuels. ...
"Meanwhile, European demand for biofuels to replace gasoline is fueling plans for massive clearing of rain forests for palm-oil plantations in Indonesia and Malaysia. ...
"As long as global warming is hyped as the world's most important environmental problem ... it will be virtually impossible to rationally evaluate other options in dealing with climate change, or confront the unintended consequences unleashed by global warming hysteria."
-- Indur M. Goklany, writing on "Unintended Consequences," in the April 23 in the International Herald Tribune
