Global warming is a myth. A religion started to scare people, with Al Gore as their messiah.
Corn Ethanol and Soy Bio-diesel may not be the best alternative. Corn Ethanol uses huge amounts of water int its process. The reason to use alternative fuels is a reduced dependence on foreign oil. Oil reserves will not last forever (although the last projection I saw said something like 100 more years worth of oil has yet to be pulled from the ground). Like Dennis Miller says, we will replace oil when we need to.
If you are truly worried about greenhouse gas emissions, start worrying about China. At their current rate of industry expansion, they will very soon be pouring out more greenhouse gases than 15,000 years worth of production of Ford Explorers. We are just a drop in the bucket.
On the horizon, there is in research and development ethanol made from switchgrass. Requires a fraction of the water of corn ethanol, has a higher sugar content=higher yield of alcohol than corn=more bang for the buck.
And while this video may not be totally on topic. It does make a few points and is just funny in general.

I keep saying that if you're going to support the alternative fuel movement, then at least come up with a legitimate reason to back it. "Global warming" irks me to no end. Hell, we're overdue for an ice age here. When that looms over the horizon will that be our fault too?
B'eh, until then I'm not giving up my pickup and any Smart Car driving retard out there can eat my exhaust. Seriously, don't those things get around 35 mpg if you drive it like a normal human being (over 40 mph on the freeway). I fail to see the 'smart' in them.
It was only 30 years ago that the foremost scientific minds were worried about global COOLING. Even suggesting spreading black ash on the ice caps to help them absorb MORE HEAT.
We are coming out of an ice age as it is.
And I ain't giving up my truck either. Not my everyday truck and its 17mpg or my Hightech Redneck '85 Custom Deluxe with 4" lift, 33" tires, and loud exhaust that on its best days only got 10mpg.
