    粮食危机的根源

          在经济萧条、次贷危机还未消除的今天,在石油暴涨、股票暴跌、通胀加剧的今天,一轮粮食危机又席卷全球,从2002年至今全球米价平均增长140%左右。30多个国家面临粮荒,许多人面临死亡的威胁,在非洲的很多国家现在人们每天只吃一顿饭。而这一切的罪魁祸首便是生物燃料。
          据有关统计,在最近几年的生物燃料开发过程中消耗的粮食足以供全世界人民吃16天左右,而这就导致了世界范围的粮荒。在油价一路飙升的今天,由粮食生产的生物燃料作为替代品直接与石油竞争,而这却无异于汽车与人类抢粮。换句更透彻的话是富人的汽车在与饥饿者抢粮。地球政策研究所的莱斯特·布朗指出,生物燃料的开发是8亿有车族和8亿饥寒交迫者之间的较量。4年前,两位明尼苏达州大学的研究人员预测,到2025年全球饥饿人口的数量将下降至6.25亿,然而在考虑了粮价上涨因素后,他们将这一数字提高至12亿。
