So does dealing with carbon dioxide pollution.

Nonsense. The scientists who have been working on it have been
publishing for decades.

Who is doing climate research who things that carbon dioxide is not
strongly affecting the climate?

You have been lied to by the same folks who told you tobacco was safe.
They are lobbyists, not scientists, and they are being paid by the coal
and gas and oil industries. You are mistaken to believe their lies.

Of course it is real.

No one expects to spend fifty trillion on the problem in the US,
however. We do need to change our profligate use of fossil fuels. We do
need to change our behavior. Don't listen to the lobbyists who want you
to destroy your grandchildren's future.

>>> Calzada says Spain's torrential spending -- no other nation has so aggressively supported production of electricity from renewable sources -- on wind farms and other forms of alternative energy has indeed created jobs. But Calzada's report concludes that they often are temporary and have received $752,000 to $800,000 each in subsidies -- wind industry jobs cost even more, $1.4 million each. 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.

Apples and oranges. The debate over defense expenditures is a whole

Apples and oranges. The green jobs proposed by the Administration would
close the coal power plants - witness the comments by Biden no coal
plants in America http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJ55UzAsp6M

You missed the conclusion of the article. In Spain creating green jobs
cost the work force 2.2 jobs for every one 1 they created. It's a
losing proposition.

For added evidence I offer the report by Sen Kit Bond, long-time member
of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee and is currently
Ranking Member of the Green Jobs and the New Economy Subcommittee

How many should die from the coming economic collapse that is, in
part, the result of spending idiot amounts of money attempting to take
the last few tenths of a percent of pollution out of some effluent at
hideous costs and all dreamed up by some capitalist-hating
envirowackos who are using environmentalism to attack our industries?

Kit Bond? are you kidding? that idiot can't walk straight.

"You missed the conclusion of the article. In Spain creating green
jobs
cost the work force 2.2 jobs for every one 1 they created. It's a
losing proposition. "

is this sort of like automating something with a robot that replaces 3
workers?
