Biofuels are not the answer to our current climate change problems

and energy needs. Using food for fuel is a problem for many reasons.

First, biofuels don’t slow climate change - they may, in fact, accelerate

it. The journal Science published a study that calculated biofuel

production may release “between 17 and 420 times more carbon dioxide

than… fossil fuel” (Dyer, 11). Second, biofuel production drives up the

cost of food. Between 2006 and 2007, “food costs world wide rose by 23

percent”, something that can be linked directly with conversion of

land from food to fuel production (Dyer, 78).

We are facing a food shortage crisis, plain and simple. The World Food

Program has stated it needs upwards of 700 million dollars this year to

help feed the world’s poor, up 200 million from what they needed last

year to feed the same number of people. Last year it became clear that

the era of cheap food was over.

Food costs world-wide rose by 23 percent between 2006 and
2007. This year, what is becoming clear is the impact of this
change on ordinary people’s lives (Dyer, 11).

What might not be clear is the cause: biofuels. Biofuels are fuels

constructed from…
