Enviromoonbattery Threatens Food Supply
Environmental kookiness is indulged in at a price all of us must pay. According to the USDA, the supply of beef, pork, and chicken will shrink by one billion pounds this year because of the high cost of feed, a result of corn being used as politically correct but inefficient fuel instead of food.
Political pressure to produce ethanol has jacked the price of maize up to $4 a bushel. No longer able to afford feeding them, farmers are rearing fewer animals and slaughtering them earlier.
Animals aren't the only ones who would eat corn if it were still affordable. Inflated prices are causing hunger in Mexico, where corn tortillas are a main dietary staple.
The point of ethanol is of course to alleviate anthropogenic global warming — a problem that exists only in the fevered minds of moonbats. In contrast, the problems presented by food shortages are quite real.

Didn't someone say something about getting rid of humans as a way to save the Earth?

Yes, I believe that group was called the Voluntary Human Extinction Movement or something.
