Results of a Global Warming Policy - Not Too Good is It?

I've always said that liberals are good at identifying problems but their solutions sometimes create even greater problems. The following article is an example of such a situation. As a sidenote, I wonder if Gore had any shares of Archer Daniels Midland when he made his now infamous decision described below?

As VP, `Genocide' Gore Broke Tie To Require Ethanol

April 25, 2008 (EIRNS)—On Aug. 4, 1994, Al Gore cast the crucial vote which set the United States on the road to taking food out of the mouths of millions, by using food for fuel.

His vote was cast in the U.S. Senate, in his capacity as U.S. Vice President, to break a 50-50 tie. Gore's vote killed an anti-ethanol measure sponsored by two Democratic Senators, Bill Bradley of New Jersey and Bennett Johnston of Louisiana. Gore thus upheld a new federal rule requiring that ethanol and similar crop-based fuels be added to the nation's gasoline.

Gore thus ensured that a growing proportion of the world's food supply would be burned, instead of feeding people. The resulting mass hunger and genocide are now at hand.

The New York Times reported, "With a tie-breaking vote by Vice President Al Gore, the Senate today ... voted 51-50 to table an amendment that would have denied financing to the [Environmental Protection Agency] to carry out a rule guaranteeing renewable fuels a 15% share of the lucrative fuel oxygenate market in 1995. That share rises to 30% in following years.... Tabling the [Bradley/Johnston] amendment in effect kills it and clears the way for E.P.A. to carry out its program."

The Times commented that "critics ... said it was a boon to the Archer Daniels Midland Company, a corn processing giant, which has more than 60% of the ethanol market."

Four years after the vote, Gore was still boasting about his central role in perpetrating the ethanol craze. Speaking Dec. 1, 1998 at the Third Annual Farm Journal Conference, Gore said, "I was also proud to stand up for the ethanol tax exemption (sic) when it was under attack in the Congress—at one point, supplying a tie-breaking vote in the Senate to save it."

Now Gore is calling for lawmakers to pass aggressive policy to regulate carbon emissions (see Gore's TED presentation) to combat the fantasy of human induced global warming. I can't wait to see the "great" results from those proposed policies that are disguised as "solutions". Unfortunately politicians are now engrossed in this politically correct fad/hysteria of climate change that will ultimately blind them from to the undesirable by-products and ramifications of such poor policy. Soutions to a problem that does not exist as portrayed will only result in undesriable results. Unfortuntely only time will tell the dire consequences if any of these proposed "solutions" actually become official policy. For some that will mean disaster.
