ActionAid's campaign against biofuels - explained

[Encrust]

I always suspected the things this video claims were true but never thought to look into them as I assumed I was wrong as nobody had mentioned any of these factors in the media. This short video needs to be seen by many, many more people than the 335 as of Aug 10th 2010.

@Encrust Well don't they also need to be referenced, ideally?

@Teghead

Barely know what you're on about lad. No matter though eh.

@Encrust I mean the statements should ideally have hyperlinks to the evidence for those statements. So that instead of being dogmatic about the issue, we can actually have an opinion of how reliable these predictions are, whether these things are really happening and on what scale.

Because most people will simply watch the video, and according to the position they already hold, they'll adopt or reject these statements to a varying degree; that doesn't reflect truth, just the workings ofthe mind

@Teghead

To be fair I totally agree with that and I was just being humerously (self amusement) disrespectful to ya. You're right of course. Sometimes gut feeling gets the better of ya and you become a bit blinkered when you have your righteousness hat on.

I think my main reasoning behind why people should watch this vid is because there are tons of people out there who don't know that it could even be an issue. It may be the truth too, in which case the more people aware of it the better.
