The UN says it takes 232kg of corn to fill a 50-litre car tank with ethanol. That is enough to feed a child for a year. Last week, the UN predicted "massacres" unless the biofuel policy is halted.

"The world food situation is very serious: we have seen riots in Egypt, Cameroon, Haiti and Burkina Faso," said Mr Diouf. "There is a risk that this unrest will spread in countries where 50pc to 60pc of income goes to food," he said.

And guess what, anthropogenic causes of warming are not a scientific certainty? And guess what there are a lot of cheap of carbon based fuel sources still in the ground plus other clean fuels such as nuclear with enormous potential?
