Saving rainforests isn't just for treehuggers anymore WASHINGTON, May 24 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A groundbreaking new report from The National Farmers Union and Avoided Deforestation Partners will detail how illegal and unsustainable overseas agriculture and logging operations are rapidly cutting down the world's rainforests for cheap land and timber. This deforestation is allowing them to flood the market with cheap beef, timber, soybeans, and vegetable oils, driving down commodity prices and costing American farmers, ranchers and timber producers hundreds of billions of dollars.
Ethanol burns without particulate emissions and produces less carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxide than gasoline.9 According to a report issued by Argonne National Laboratories, ethanol use can reduce total greenhouse gas emissions by up to 87 percent.10 Since the carbon dioxide produced during ethanol combustion is largely offset by the carbon dioxide that was absorbed during the growth of the plants used to make ethanol, on balance ethanol greatly reduces carbon dioxide emissions relative to gasoline.11 An increasingly favorable economic posture vis-à-vis petroleum further strengthens the case for biofuels. 92 Lastly, the Appellate Body required the existence of objective criteria that would allow similarly affected developing countries to be included in the group of developing countri...
