Further adding to biofuel hatred

Just wanted to add the following image which compares the amount of tonnes of CO2 per hectare that is avoided in terms of crop usage and cover. This further puts emphasis that going down the biofuel route will get us nowhere in terms of emissions reductions.

In brief:

"...reforestation would sequester between two and nine times as much carbon over 30 years than would be saved by burning biofuels instead of gasoline."

"You get far more carbon sequestered by planting forests than you avoid emissions by producing biofuels on the same land"
