Vincent Gioia: Global Warming - Don't Confuse me with Facts, my mind is made up | / | Editorial

Many people have not bought into the notion that what living creatures do will change the climate on Earth; indeed their numbers far exceed the number of Al Gore acolytes. But you would never know this if you get your information solely from the traditional news media and politicians.

Bentley plan to cut CO2 with ethanol comes under fire | detnews.com | The Detroit News

Bentley, the British-based luxury carmaker owned by Germany's Volkswagen, reckons biofuels are the key to cutting its carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions on the way to a greener future.

In the short to medium term, this means embracing ethanol as the main so-called renewable fuel. But, unfortunately for Bentley and the likes of GM, the science points increasingly to this being a dead-end street. Some experts reckon this push for ethanol shows Bentley needs a quick and cheap way to at least appear to be improving fuel economy.

Jerry Taylor, senior fellow at the Cato Institute in Washington, D.C., said it is clear that ethanol, if you add up the energy inputs all the way along the production process until it reaches the fuel tank -- the so-called "well-to wheel" measurement -- doesn't cut greenhouse gas emissions.
