For the most part, THIS is how the great global warming scare will end

[Inexplicably, alarmist Tom Friedman fails to mention global warming or even clean energy here] - NYTimes.com
We need health care, financial reform and education reform. 
Flashback: Friedman Aflame by Jonah Goldberg on National Review / Digital
Friedman’s case for a green revolution, like most such cases, involves jumping to a new argument every time the present one collapses. Like Indiana Jones leaping just in time from one cave-in beneath his feet to the next, whenever the case for “green jobs” falls apart, Friedman leaps to “energy security.” When that crumbles under him, it’s a quick hop to the seeming terra firma of global warming. And when that disintegrates, he falls back on “so what?” Here’s how he put it on Meet the Press: “What I say is if climate change is a hoax, it’s the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the United States of America. Because everything we would do to get ready for climate change, to build this new green industry, would make us more respected, more entrepreneurial, more competitive, more healthy as a country.”
