The World and Its Increasing Problems

The world is getting hotter, and now even hungrier. Fidel Castro said that the use of bio-fuels would cause 3 billion deaths from hunger. He might be right.

And second because of farmers converting their crops into fuel. Europe is also this year going to set targets for growing crops for energy.
