And the Confusion Starts

A new study by researchers associated with princeton study has found that corn based Ethanol may not be the solution for world's climate problems. This study underscores the complexity of the global warming problem. The new study claims that land usage patterns are likely to change causing increasing destruction of existing forests. Infact, the study claims that corn based ethanol is likely to release twice as much carbondioxide into the atmosphere as gasoline. The renewable fuels industry has already begun questioning the results of the study. Their contention is that the study too "simplistic" and fails to put the issue of deforestation into context. Let the blame games begin!!!
