“Food prices are rising on a mix of strong demand from developing countries; a rising global population; more frequent floods and droughts caused by climate change; and the biofuel industry’s appetite for grains, analysts say. Soyabean prices on Friday hit an all-time high of $14.22 a bushel while corn prices jumped to a fresh 12-year high of $5.25 a bushel.”
Might be time for the UN to step in and force the US to drill ANWR so the rest of the world can have low corn prices.

It just shows the corn ethanol thing for what it is: bad science and bad economics.
Gotta love their inclusion of "caused by climate change" in there.
I wish we could get the UN on board for support of ANWR drilling.
