Global Warming Moonbats Sacrifice Orangutans to Gaia

As noted on NRO, rising food prices aren't the only high cost of the biofuel mania inspired by the global warming hoax. Environmental moonbattery hurts not only humans, but animals too:
The Orang-utans of Borneo are facing an unprecedented threat as their habitat is destroyed to satisfy increasing global demands for bio-fuel.
As jungles are rapidly replaced by palm oil plantations, the great apes starve and are hunted, mutilated, burnt and snared by workers protecting their crops. At a rehabilitation centre run by the charity Borneo Orang-utan Survival, there are more than 600, mostly orphaned babies. Lone Nielsen, the centre's director, estimates that for each of the 227 animals they rescued last year, five more were killed in central Borneo alone. […]
With the world desperate for "green" fuels, demand for palm oil, which is used in bio-diesel, is guaranteed to increase. According to European legislation two per cent of all diesel must be vegetable oil, rising to 5.7 per cent in 2010 and 10 per cent by 2020.
Orangutans are considered the most intelligent primate after humans. Considering how many humans have bought into the global warming hoax, they may have passed us.
A young orangutan learns that his rainforest was burned down so that moonbats could have their biofuel.
