Biofuels are worsening global warming - Rhett Butler (Mongabay.com)

Converting rainforests, peatlands, savannas, or grasslands often far outweighs the carbon savings from biofuels resulting in tons of carbon emitted into the atmosphere. If you're trying to mitigate global warming, it simply does not make sense to convert land for biofuels production. Global agriculture is already producing food for six billion people. Producing food-based biofuel, too, will require that still more land be converted to agriculture.
