Obama’s green jobs revolution

Democrat will lead effort to curb world’s dependence on oil; Plans to create five million new posts in clean energy projects

Sunday, 2 November 2008

Barack Obama is promising a $150bn “Apollo project” to bring jobs and energy security to the US through a new alternative energy economy, if his final push for votes brings victory in the presidential election on Tuesday.

“That’s going to be my number one priority when I get into office,” Mr Obama has said of his “green recovery” plans. Making his arguments in a radio address yesterday, the Democratic favourite promised: “If you give me your vote on Tuesday, we won’t just win this election. Together, we will change this country and change the world.

Weird. I thought golf and White House parties were his #1 priorities.

Gavin says :

the scenario closest to the observations is clearly Scenario B

So, I am trying to figure out – is Gavin spreading nonsense about CO2 growth, temperatures – or both?

How could this happen? We know now that increases in humidity and climate change are due to CO2.

“The world has been chilling sharply for about twenty years. If present trends continue, the world will be about four degrees colder for the global mean temperature in 1990, but eleven degrees colder in the year 2000. This is about twice what it would take to put us into an ice age.”

By 2020, temperatures will be 4-6 degrees warmer than 1958

Always remember – you are an anti-science creationist flat-earther if you question scientists.

‘Frightening’ projection for Arctic melt

The Arctic Ocean could be free of ice in the summer as soon as 2010 or 2015 – something that hasn’t happened for more than a million years, according to a leading polar researcher.

QUEBEC — The Arctic Ocean could be free of ice in the summer as soon as 2010 or 2015 – something that hasn’t happened for more than a million years, according to a leading polar researcher.

Louis Fortier, scientific director of ArcticNet, a Canadian research network, said the sea ice is melting faster than predicted by models created by international teams of scientists, such as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

“you can argue that may be our projection of 2013 is already too conservative.”
