Comments by "David Elliott" (@davidelliott5843) on "America Was Wrong About Ethanol - Study Shows" video.
Can we have a discussion on the Ice core and tree ring data that allows us to track climate and CO2 levels. Climate shifts over approx 1000 year cycle. 50” years cooler 500 years warmer. The evidence is that CO2 follows the climate curve. There is no real evidence that carbon causes global warming. In fact, its infra-red absorption wavelength is about the same as nitrogen and oxygen.

A mere 270 years ago (~1750) the world saw 180ppm CO2. It has since doubled to 400ppm. However, photosynthesis stops below 150ppm. We were incredibly close to a massive mass epidemic. Let that sink in. Despite the enormous damage we do, human activity may well have saved the planet’s ecosystem.

Make the profits high enough and farmers (especially where there is no regulatory control) will clear virgin lands to grow the crops. It's happened with Soy, Palm oil and why not maize. However what happened to the enzyme processes allowing corn stalks and wheat/barley straw to be used to make ethanol?
