Global Climate change? Hocus-Pocus ? While debating here in America, China created jobs.

 

Thomas L Friedman recently wrote in the New York Times about how China is creating jobs regarding the climate change, an issue that still being debated in the States.

Climate change is not a simple issue, tax carbon emissions, green technology, data and so more on make this possible creating legislation a hard one to deal, but like it or not China saw this problem as a chance to grow and create jobs.

As Mr Friedman writes in his post:

“There is really no debate about climate change in China,” said Peggy Liu, chairwoman of the Joint U.S.-China Collaboration on Clean Energy, a nonprofit group working to accelerate the greening of China. “China’s leaders are mostly engineers and scientists, so they don’t waste time questioning scientific data.” The push for green in China, she added, “is a practical discussion on health and wealth. There is no need to emphasize future consequences when people already see, eat and breathe pollution every day.”

And because runaway pollution in China means wasted lives, air, water, ecosystems and money — and wasted money means fewer jobs and more political instability — China’s leaders would never go a year (like we will) without energy legislation mandating new ways to do more with less. It’s a three-for-one shot for them. By becoming more energy efficient per unit of G.D.P., China saves money, takes the lead in the next great global industry and earns credit with the world for mitigating climate change.

So while America’s Republicans turned “climate change” into a four-letter word — J-O-K-E — China’s Communists also turned it into a four-letter word — J-O-B-S"

And there is nothing wrong going green, it is something that is beneficial for all of us, a technology that helps the environment to avoid waste of non-renewable recurses and thus helping each of us to reach a balance with our surroundings. 

What's wrong with that ?

What you think about China taking the lead on Green Jobs and Green Technology?

Do you think that the lack of scientist as representatives in both houses have something to do to create a legislation that creates green jobs?

Speak your mind and let us know .
