Environmentalists: More Deforestation is the Answer!

So environmentalists have come out (once again) in support of deforestation and the destruction of natural habitats as the cure for global warming. As previously discussed, poor countries are encouraged to destroy their local environment for the benefit of rich countries.

Bill Clinton came out in support of this concept just the other day.

He added that, with a bit of investment, climate change was a "phenomenal opportunity to develop poor countries." Ethiopia was considering investing in growing cane for biofuels, he noted, a path that has already brought great profits to Brazil.

Yes. Brazil has been profiting quite nicely off of biofuels. Most notably from sugar cane. Wonder where they are getting the land to produce all of these biofuels?

Brazil, the world's largest producer of soybeans, is more than making up for shortfall, by clearing new land for soy cultivation. While only a fraction of this cultivation currently occurs in the Amazon rainforest, production in neighboring areas like the cerrado grassland helps drive deforestation by displacing small farmers and cattle producers, who then clear rainforest land for subsistence agriculture and pasture. 

So, I am assuming that environmentalists - who used to want to protect the Rainforest - now believe that removing it is the answer. I am loving watching the environmental movement implode over its own hypocrisies.

I'm going to my backyard to chop down a few trees myself. Why not? The policy is officially sanctioned by sanctimonious environmentalists. Level everything and plant biofuel crops. And earn carbon credits while you do it. Man this saving the planet stuff is just awesome.
