Someone said:
"Brazil is considered to have the world's first sustainable biofuels economy and the biofuel industry leader, a policy model for other countries; and its sugarcane ethanol "the most successful alternative fuel to date"."
Well, good for Brazil, cutting down rain forest to plant sugarcane. Solving one problem in this way is just creating others. Planting sugarcane cuts down on the world's capacity to produce food for one thing. The cutting down of the rain forest also affects weather patterns, ground water levels, water purity and you would have to be dreaming in Technicolor if you believe that any of these changes are going to be beneficial. We are destroying an ecosystem where only perhaps 5 % of the species residing there have even been identified.
Humans can be compared to a person who has been bequeathed a fortune and is currently going through it like a drunken sailor. After it is all gone future generations will wind up the equivalent of living in a broken down mansion. Future generations of humans will have to learn to live on what a reduced-capacity world can produce on a year to year basis. Harper rather than showing leadership is saying, "I will only if you will." I don't blame him. He is only catering to weaknesses in our human character (and he knows it). It will be nice someday to have a leader who can lead and inspire. At least Dion tried!
