NP Rank:
Possibly the recession was a blessing? B-F is spinning that coin
Grab your coffee, once again the babel fish invites you to his way of thinking. Come savor the flavor of the Fish’s view of the other side of a very oily war worn coin.
Many activists like myself, have been writing article or introduce newspaper articles concerning climate change, to social groups and forums on the internet. With me it’s been a case of wanting to live in a cleaner environment breathe fresh air. I also want to see more world responsibility for ensuring that no further species recede into extinction. Some have been worried that human created pollution had an effect on the planets climate and that had been their main argument. The cry grew from a mere scream to some very high rated shouting, which started to be addressed by governments.
Some government however turned a deaf ear knowing their capitalistic string pullers worried about losses of profits to address the problem. The oil, gas automobile industries invest in politicians so they can pull strings and they of course have been pulling very hard.
However this present recession has led to what I see as a blessing because governments have been able to cut strings. Then see an answer to creating new jobs, by help building a green industry. USA for instance has done a complete U turn and now screaming green and clean is the way to go.
Decisions at forth coming Summit in Copenhagen are not really that important as activist and skeptics may think because USA has already gone full tilt into Clean and Green.
The catch phrase is “clean and green creates jobs” and that’s is where the new investment is going the big boy’s are thinking “$,s”. This factor will in my opinion accelerate more than the leading politicians think. It will destroy the oil and gas companies within 5 to 10 years but of course they can diverse but the countries that rely on oil royalties such as those in the Middle East and of course Russia will have to tighten their belt, these countries will be the biggest opposition.
The global chess game, concerning some of the some troublesome players such as Iran will have their kings placed in to checkmate. Possibly that is part of USA chess game plan that moving to the clean and green square, they can kill more than two birds with one stone.
Keep stirring your coffee it may help you to think…

Yep, the coffee sweet and hot this morning, sort of clears ones mind fort fresh thoughts about human right to breathe fresh air and actually see the sunrise and beautiful sunsets. We don't want smog do we and look at this damn pollution on the roads. It gets me coughing each time I go to the city, on my polluting mean machine.
Cleaning up our act is about to start.

Nice spin BF.... for the developed countries, but not good news for the undeveloped. That is unless they come up with clean vehicles and a clean method to make electricity.

No spin Lee, my mind and thoughts are not politically based nor religiously based. I am what I am a free thinker not wound around the norm. Spinning is definatly not the game getting people thinking is, Viva freedom of thought and speech not many people have it.

What has climate to do with finance and economics, you may ask? Actually, quite a lot.
Especially when it is a huge financial drag that no one is looking for in a recession.
Most of it what is said is bogus at least all about CO2 emission. The implications carry enormous additional unnecessary costs. Estimates vary on how much a proposed "cap-and-trade" plan might cost. Depending on where you get your figures - which seems to be a recurring caveat surrounding this whole discussion - annual cost to the US alone could be between $200-$350 billion, or roughly $1,750 - $3,000 per household. Even President Obama himself said that energy costs were likely to "skyrocket" under his plan. One memorandum, estimates that, "Economic costs will likely be on the order of 1 percent of GDP, making them equal in scale to all existing environmental regulation."
Critics, predictably, rebuke those figures, claiming that they are typically inflated and that their government would never spend that much money on a bogus scheme. Besides, "how can you put a price on human life... they say!?"
Depending on what side of the debate you reside - skeptic or believer - action or inaction will cost you, respectively, thousands of dollars per year in additional taxes and the surrender of your liberty to a world government, or, your life and that for all of future generations.
Think about.
