No warming scare means no qualifications | Herald Sun Andrew Bolt Blog

First problem: We’re now creating graduates whose professional qualifications will be useless if global warming alarmism is allowed to weaken.

Second problem: These are graduates who first agreed there was a problem, before studying it in depth:

“The reason I did this degree was because climate change is impacting on everybody,” she said.

Third problem: It takes just 12 months to turn into a professional global warming alarmist?

Beware green jobs, the new sub-prime | Dominic Lawson - Times Online

When everybody seems to have the same big idea, you just know it can only mean trouble. Remember sub-prime mort-gages? Now universally excoriated as the spawn of the devil, the proximate cause of the credit crunch and all that followed, a few years back “sub-prime” was everyone’s darling. Financiers loved it because it generated sumptuously high-yielding debt instruments; governments, because it promised to make even the poor into proud property owners.

Now business lobbyists and governments on both sides of the Atlantic have got a new big idea. They call it “green jobs”. Leading the pack is, as you might expect, Barack Obama. The president recently defended a vast package of subsidies for renewable energy on the grounds that it would “create millions of additional jobs and entire new industries”.
...
...One of China’s envoys, Li Gao, immediately retorted that such a carbon tariff would be a “disaster”, since it could lead to global trade war.

Actually, Mr Li is right: and this is how an achingly fashionable and well-intentioned plan to create “millions of new green jobs” could instead end up making the global economy even sicker than it is already.

Chuck DeVore on Barbara Boxer: New, improved lyrics for Don Henley's "All She Wants to Do is Dance"

Wild-eyed global warmers
Who ain’t afraid to lie
And all she wants to do is-
And all she wants to do is tax
And break our backs
She can’t feel the heat comin’ off the street
She wants to party
She wants to get down
And all she wants to do is-
And all she wants to do is tax
Well, the government rigged the market
in the carbon trading scam
And all she wants to do is tax, tax
To keep the boys a sellin’
All the credits they could ma’am
And all she wants to do is tax
