Burning anything, oil, gas, grass, peanut extract - no matter where it comes from, burning hydrocarbons pollutes the environment.
The answer to global warming is geo-thermal, wind, wave, hydro-electric, nuclear - not making carbon dioxide out of a different fuel.

It definitely does not help the world for Rain Forests to be destroyed so developing countries can grow biofuel crops instead. Developed worlds should be paying developing countries to keep the forests, not burn them!

Bio fuels are clean and carbon neutral? Think again. We're clearing virgin land to make room for biofuels. Any moderate emission savings are far outweighed by greater emissions from deforestation, burning, peat drainage, cultivation and soil-carbon losses.

Relatively little land is needed for oil rigs and pipelines compared to the size of the vast underground oil fields that they tap into. The same is not true of biofuels.

it's good idea!
We simply have no choice. Fossil fuels are quickly running out and bio fuels represent a clean, green, sustainable alternative.
Biofuels take energy out of the hands of corporate giants and the global elite. Bio fuels can be made by almost anyone and can be used to power small-scale farm and local workshop machinery and electricity generators as well as vehicles.
Why the debate? Bio fuels are derived from agricultural crops. They are renewable. Our farmers produce them, thus reducing dependence on foreign oil.
Duh! Can you say global warming? CO2 is destroying our planet. Holy holy bio fuels!
