doesn't removing pollution create jobs to produce the pollution
removal equipment?

What's the difference between paying someone to create a pollution
reduction device and someone who produces body armor for a soldier in
terms of a job?

Since no one is proposing such a thing, we can cheerfully ignore your
dishonest question.

And each new job entails the loss of 2.2 other jobs that are either lost or not created in other industries because of the political allocation of capital. Calzada says the creation of jobs in alternative energy has subtracted about 110,000 jobs from elsewhere in Spain's economy.

Again did you note the sources of the report? Did you even have time to
read the report? No, you'd rather belittle the messenger than read the
reports.

Nothing like it. Obama is talking about how creating green jobs will
create full employment. The finds of these two contradict Obama, saying
green jobs will make unemployment worse.

Its not hard to look around and find them. The Virginia state
climatologist has expressed serious doubts. There are many, many
others - I haven't saved every report I have heard over the years when
prominant scientists have expressed doubt about the methodology and
the facts of global warming, but they aren't small.

Not hardly. No, they are not lobbyists, they are scientists that are
sick of the deception of the international bunch of those scientists
that continue to get paid in grant money to study a problem that is
simply their own fabrications. That is where the fraud is occuring.

That's what they said. They don't have the original temperature data
because it was on magtape that was erased in the 80s.

>Of course it is real.

Bother you much that there hasn't been any warming for the last 11
years, hmmmm????

>No one expects to spend fifty trillion on the problem in the US,

That was the quoted sum about 3 years ago during the big bruhaha over
GW at the time. 50 Trillion dollars. Its simply designed to bankrupt
the USA, that's all.

>We do need to change our profligate use of fossil fuels.

This is what it's all about, a bunch of envirowackos using a scarecrow
that is Global Warming to attempt to get their way, and a bunch of
anti-capitalists among them that are using the same thing to attempt
to damage capitalism and the USA which is the most capitalistic
country.

We'll stop using fossil fuels just as soon as we can WITHOUT WRECKING
THE ECONOMY. To do that, we have to invent the magic batter that will
hold about 10X what a regular litium ion battery will hold, and still
be affordable. I think someone will eventually do it. But until we
can electrify transportation, we're stuck with using huge amounts of
oil.

And once we electrify transportation, we're STILL going to need oil
for petrochemicals in plastics, fertilizer, medicines, etc. We'll
STILL need a lot, just not near as much as we did. We may be able to
produce all our needs right here in the USA, especially considering
the 3X Saudi oil reserve in shale oil out west.


> We do
>need to change our behavior.

Yeah, but we don't need to be idiots about it. Research the H out of
the magic battery, and maybe even try to think of ways to use
electricity to power cars that doesn't involve the magic battery. Can
we move cars on electric rail vehicles, and build the electrical rails
so the railcars can be driven onto and the driver relaxes while the
system moves him and the car electrically close to where he wants to
go? I dunno, but we better think of something.

>Don't listen to the lobbyists who want you
>to destroy your grandchildren's future.

Don't listen to envirowackos who want to spend our country into
economic collapse on impossibly expensive goals fighting dubious
problems in the most expensive way.

In Korea, China, etc. Its heavy industry, and we don't do that here
any more. We just have to pay the extra money for the higher
electricity prices that result from the pollution equipment that is
unnecessarily stringent, and in large part dreamed up by enemies of
this country to damage it ecomomically.

>What's the difference between paying someone to create a pollution

The difference is that the body armor saves the lives our our
soldiers. The production of pollution control equipment simply makes
the products of the plant buying that equipment more expensive, with
no commensurate benefit to society - it only moves the needle on some
pencil-necked-geek's "pollution meter" a little less. That's all.
We've solved most of the pollution problems we had about 20 years ago.
Almost everything since has been an attack on our capitalistic way of
life by the leftists anti-capitalists using the environmental movement
as a weapon.
