The Phony Green Jobs Debate | Marc Gunther on GreenBiz.com

It sounds great, doesn't it?

Not according to the four lawyers and economists who produced "7 Myths About Green Jobs," a 97-page report published by the University of Illinois College of Law. They argue that "the green jobs literature is rife with internal contradictions, vague terminology, dubious science, and ignorance of basic economic principles."

Maybe that's what bothers me about the green jobs ads. They're like political campaign ads. They promise something for nothing. They treat the voters like children. They're emotional and not educational. And they're not helping to build a movement around climate change.

WEARECHANGE Ottawa Confronts Suzuki about Global Warming Hoax

WEARECHANGE Ottawa members went to the Ottawa Go Green Expo on March 21st - 22nd. It was an event catered to the Green movement showcasing green technologies and had environment activists as public speakers thoughout the event. WAC Ottawa had the chance to catch Severn Suzuki speech and ask a few questions regarding the IPCC and the Man Made Global Warming Hoax. The next day, we tried to confront Justin Trudeau about these questions. Security didn’t allow us to record the speech or the question or answer. We did get comments off camera.

Second, alarmists have been peddling a second analysis, called the Mann hockey stick, which is so contradictory to these assumptions of strong positive feedback that it is amazing to me no one has called them on the carpet for it. In brief, Mann, in an effort to show that 20th century temperature increases are unprecedented and therefore more likely to be due to mankind, created an analysis quoted all over the place (particularly by Al Gore) that says that from the year 1000 to about 1850, the Earth’s temperature was incredibly, unbelievably stable. He shows that the Earth’s temperature trend in this 800 year period never moves more than a few tenths of a degree C. Even during the Maunder minimum, where we know the sun was unusually quiet, global temperatures were dead stable.

This is simply IMPOSSIBLE in a high-feedback environment. There is no way a system dominated by the very high levels of positive feedback assumed in Romm’s and other forecasts could possibly be so rock-stable in the face of large changes in external forcings (such as the output of the sun during the Maunder minimum). Every time Mann and others try to sell the hockey stick, they are putting a dagger in the heart of high-positive-feedback driven forecasts (which is a category of forecasts that includes probably every single forecast you have seen in the media).
