Warm welcome for $25bn climate change [scam] "upside" | theage.com.au
WORRIED about Arctic sea ice melting? Fretting about dwindling water supplies? Well, fear not. There is an upside to climate change and it comes in the form of money. Up to $25 billion for Victoria, in fact.

A climate-changed Victoria will be hotter, drier and more fire-prone, but some industries will make more money, according to a report commissioned by the State Government, due for release tomorrow.

Predictably, the report found that in the next 20 years, the climate change winners will be companies that benefit from a price on carbon pollution — which the federal emissions trading scheme should deliver — or those involved in mitigating the impact of a less stable climate, including the gas, forestry, energy efficiency, carbon storage and renewable energy sectors, as well as some agricultural crops.
