Stupid With The Very Heavens

clipped from www2.macleans.ca Even so, why would you stick a commie in the White House and put him in charge of anything to do with jobs, even “green jobs”? Well, because “green jobs” is just another of those rich-enough-to-be-stupid scams. The Spanish government pays over $800,000 for every “green job” on a solar-panel assembly line. This money is taken from real workers with real jobs at real businesses whose growth is being squashed to divert funds to endeavours that have no rationale other than their government subsidies—and which would collapse as soon as the subsidies end. Yet Tim Flannery, the Aussie climate-alarmist who chaired the Copenhagen racket, says we need to redouble our efforts. “We’re trying to act as a species,” he says, “to regulate the atmosphere.” Er, “regulate the atmosphere”? Why not? We’re rich enough to be stupid with the very heavens.
