Is Agriculture the New Global Warming Bad Guy?

Previous comment: "not a single useful, investible idea in the article. In other words..useless." Literally, what planet are you living on that you can afford not to care? It's essential to look at the environmental and human cost of any "investible idea" at this point.

Agribusiness is a huge factor in carbon production and by extension global warming. AND large-scale water pollution, caused by massive use of fertilizers and pesticides. "How can I make money off this?" is just not the question to be asking, even on an investment website. Come on, financial wizards, you're supposed to be so smart -- put the brains to use for something greater than your near-term profits.

PS, I don't agree that a "global collapse in commodity prices" is on the way -- maybe a setback in 2008, but the overall trend is up and will continue so for the next 5-10 years. IMHO.
