Anatomy of the Great Bio-Fuels Scam
Upon my first arrival to the city of Rio de Janeiro back in June of 2002, I wanted to visit the one place every tourist wants to see: O Cristo. So on a seemingly warm and beautiful day we made our way to the top of Corcovado. There it was, the giant world famous 125-foot statue of Christ the Redeemer, overlooking much of the city and Guanabara Bay. Armed with cameras, we quickly headed to the statue’s east side vista to take personal snapshots of one of the worlds most dazzling panoramic views. Except we encountered a problem: Directly below us, the city of Rio de Janeiro had disappeared.
