If the carbon has been stored 1 million years ago and you burn it the total net amount of CO2 in the atmosphere increases

If the carbon was stored last year and you burn it the net amount of carbon stays about the same YoY

Moving the transport sector over to the latter carbon or electrical would be a good direction in general

Disregarding spidy senses and mental gymnastics about people starving if they dont eat all that corn, I dont understand how we fail to see this as a net benefit and crap articles like that get produced

The accounting for biofuels is not that simple in practice. They end up significantly more carbon intensive than using electricity and batteries or even hydrogen.
