The campaign against climate change could be set back by the global food crisis, as foreign populations turn against measures to use foodstuffs as substitutes for fossil fuels.
With prices for rice, wheat, and corn soaring, food-related unrest has broken out in places such as Haiti, Indonesia, and Afghanistan. Several countries have blocked the export of grain
Mr. Gore was not available for an interview yesterday on the food crisis, according to his spokeswoman. A spokesman for Mr. Gores public campaign to address climate change, the Alliance for Climate Protection, declined to comment for this article.

We wish...this will turn around to be Bush’s fault somehow. Watch.
To the extent that GWB signed on to that agenda, it is. He could’a nipped it.
If people are starving to death, global warming is no longer a problem. Algore needs to fess up.
I am reminded of the Hippy Dippy Weatherman:
“The radar is also picking up a squadron of Russian ICBMs; so I wouldn’t sweat the thundershowers.”
Saving the planet, one stomach at a time.
You think these Gaia-worshippers would prefer to see those hungry people survive? While that would be my choice or yours, some of these loons would probably consider the mass starvation of humans to be a “cleansing”.
