You said in a prior post that sugar cane was replacing the rainforest. That's a signficant difference from the reality where sugar cane growing is eating away at/invading the rainforest and not replacing it as you suggest. LOL I'm gonna bookmark that post. That is the stupidest thing you've written. When sugar cane growing "eats away at" or "invades" the rain forest, it also replaces the rain forest. Do you not realize trees (maybe you don't realize trees are what the forest consists of) are cut down in order to plant sugar cane? This is what you said: "They aren't thinking (!) about the fact that expanding biofuels means replacing something else (rain forest) with sugar cane and other crops." Your statement implies that expanding biofuel will replace the [Amazon] rainforest. True, biofuel is encroaching on the rain forest but I hardly think that it will replace the remaining Amazon rainforest which is still 80% intact.........that's a hell of a lot of acreage. Now, o wise one, do you want to amend your statement.
