V a n J o n e s - Green Collar Jobs

Van Jones lays the case for creating a Green Job Corps to help transition our fossil fuel economy to a green economy. At the same time, this Green Job Corp connects the "jobs that most need to be done with the people who most need jobs" and therefore fights poverty.

Leading Climate Scientist John R. Christy researched two independent data sets, weather balloon and satellite. He found from this information gathered from the bulk of the atmosphere that climate change was neither catastrophic nor anthropogenic. He also stated that increase in surface temperatures in the cities were because of pavement, concrete and other structures and not as a direct result of greenhouse gases.

Hey, I got it. Lets all hold bake sales to pay off the National Deficit. His understanding of economics is sadly lacking and pretty amaturish. Someone has to build them, yes. Someone has to pay for them....so who do you think that will be?

If a big chunk of the stimulis money is not going to the green solution revolution, now is the time to give those who govern a wake-up call.
