Kerry keynotes climate conference

Here.

Excerpts:

He said if scientists are wrong about global climate change, the worst that can happen under this bill is the creation of new jobs, an improved economy, more sustainability and lack of dependence on corrupt Middle Eastern governments.

I wonder why we're suddenly seeing this "if scientists are wrong" stuff so much recently?

Kerry said there are several economic benefits to striving for energy efficiency. He cited the management of a National Instruments company in Dallas that looked at the building plan, consolidated the building to two floors instead of three, so the building takes up less space and uses less energy, and used straight pipes in the construction of the interior for energy conservation. This move kept 80,000 jobs and saved over $3 million per year for the company.

I hope Kerry was misquoted here. How, exactly, did that move keep 80,000 jobs?

Brown College senior Laura Kelley said she was glad Kerry spoke at the event and that she enjoyed being surrounded by others at the speech who truly found climate change alarming. She said it was a drastic change from the recent Student Association debates about the environmental blanket tax as well as the general lack of concern from students about Orientation Week’s common reading and climate change lecture.
