Save The Coal – Burn a Forest! « sunshine hours

But to burn vast quantities of trees and to build up a huge new infrastructure to burn wood instead of burning coal (or preferably natural gas) is insane. But thats what green policies do. They distort the market. They rewards people for doing insane things … like burning forests instead of coal or building wind turbines (and backup power plants) instead of reliable natural gas power plants.

Imagine … power plants burning forests will act as the backup power for unreliable wind turbines!

[Warmist Matthew Yglesias in Slate]   The thing about developing countries is that they're really poor. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina of Bangladesh notes that "one degree Celsius rise in temperature is associated with 10 percent productivity loss in farming" which is about 2 percent of his country's GDP. But 2 percent of Bangladesh's GDP is a really small number—$2.5 billion—since Bangladesh is so poor. Japan, by contrast, has a GDP of $5.87 trillion. So a policy that cost Japan 0.042 percent of GDP in order to avoid a loss of 2 percent of Bangladesh's output fails the cost-benefit test. Normal moral logic holds this to be a perverse result. Precisely because Japan is so much richer than Bangladesh, output loss in Bangladesh is a much bigger deal—literally a life or death matter for the population. But in the global growth calculus taking countries that are already poor with economies dominated by low-productivity agriculture and pushing them into famine conditions isn't a big deal compared to small reductions in rich country manufacturing and construction activity.
