Today world is fighting against the biggest problem Climate Change. They are trying to reducse the pollution and OC2. And they are making Bio-fuel. Bio-fuel is made from wheat, sunflower, cron and alot more. But the biggest challange world again gone face, is the increase of poverty. The food prises going up, and a poor person can buy a single bread while the prise going up and no control on them.
In such a sitution which challange is more important? Climate Change or Poverty

i think in this situation that climate change might be more important. climate changes can cause drought, floods and other natural hazards that cause poverty. imagine what would happen to a country if all the produce was killed because of a drought. this is my opinion only.

I think shaquille dhanji has a point, however I think it's not very ethical to use fields of crops to produce bio-fuels when we could be using it to fight the need for basic food in the world.
So, I'm not sure if bio-fuels are the best way to fight global warming. The solution could be a mix of different alternative (non-pollutant) energies / fuels including bio-fuels..but ensuring that that production wouldn't prevent people from eating while providing others a good car driving.

Here is a great article on Food shortage across the world, but it makes an excellent point on bio-fuel and its affect on the food shortage:
But the worst damage is being done by the rage for “biofuels” that supposedly reduce carbon-dioxide emissions and fight climate change. (But they don’t, really–at least, not in their present form.) Thirty percent of this year’s U.S. grain harvest will go straight to an ethanol distillery, and the European Union is aiming to provide 10 percent of the fuel used for transport from biofuels by 2010. A huge amount of the world‚s farmland is being diverted to feed cars, not people.
Worse yet, rain forest is being cleared, especially in Brazil and Indonesia, to grow more biofuels. A recent study in the U.S. journal Science calculated that destroying natural ecosystems to grow corn or sugar cane for ethanol, or oil palms or soybeans for biodiesel, releases between 17 times and 420 times more carbon dioxide than is saved annually by burning the biofuel grown on that land instead of fossil fuel. It‚s all justified in the name of fighting climate change, but the numbers just don‚t add up.
This is the one element in the perfect storm that is completely under human control. Governments can simply stop creating artificial demand for the current generation of biofuels (and often directly subsidizing them). That land goes back to growing food instead, and prices fall. Climate change is a real threat, but we don‚t have to have this crisis now.
“If more and more land [is] diverted for industrial biofuels to keep cars running, we have two years before a food catastrophe breaks out worldwide,” said Vandana Shiva, director of the Indian-based Research Foundation for Science, Technology, and Natural Resource Policy, in an interview recently. “It’ll be 20 years before climate catastrophe breaks out, but the false solutions to climate change are creating catastrophes that will be much more rapid than the climate change itself.”

I believe climate change is a very big factor, but poverty should be the more important issue, because if civilians are poor, it would not matter how the climate was, they still need food, water, shelter and clothing, the basic necessities to survive.
