Biofuels have direct, fuel-cycle GHG emissions that are typically 30-90% lower than those for gasoline or diesel fuels. However, since for some biofuels indirect emissions-including from land use change-can lead to greater total emissions than when using petroleum products, policy support needs to be considered on a case by case basis.
The IPCC has released a finalized draft of its Working Group III report. Sourced from Forbes, their analysis: that ethanol is worse than petroleum. The Working Group itself managed to say... Well, after a quick read-through of chapter 8, it appears they managed to keep any actual meaning occluded by a thick screen of political double-speak.

On the other hand, this isn't the first study that indicated that Ethanol increases net energy cost , and decreases mileage while increasing pollution, and increasing food costs.
So regardless how they want to word it, the story is not new.
No, you are mistaken. I've always had this sig.

I'd hardly call his comment "stupid". If you really can't stand any comment by any submitter or editor, you could bring this up in one of the forums. If you simply think his comment was wrong, you could point out why you think that is so.
I really try to avoid feeding the trolls, but as you are not AC, you probably are motivated to participate in a group discussion. Best way to get your point across is to avoid insulting and derogatory remarks.
