Someone should tell these warmist cult members that biofuels produce CO2 too. So promoting biofuels won’t solve the nonexistent problem of global warming either.

Not that I advocate biofuels (they're extrodinarioly inefficient, waste water, and deplete the soil), but they take CO2 out of the atmosphere while they're grown.

So yes, biofuels release CO2 when burned, but it's only CO2 that they took out out of the atmosphere when they were growing. Therefore, on net, aside from any fossil fuels you might have burned to harvest them or distill them, biofuels are carbon neutral.
