It is this type of ad hominem attack that has supported the climate
change fraud and people making these slanderous claims should be held accountable for the part they have played
in perpetrating this fraud which has crippled the
economy and
created global starvation by using basic food staples as feedstock for biofuels.
The CCC is chaired by Lord Adair Turner of Ecchinswell, a man whose CV includes stints of environmental activism as a trustee for WWF and membership of the Advisory Board of Climate
Change Capital, a firm offering services as an «investment manager and advisor specialising
in the opportunities
created by the transition to the low carbon
economy».
In 2013, the Global Commission on the

It is also interesting to note that Turner was until recently, a trustee of the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and a member of the Advisory Board of Climate
Change Capital, a firm offering services as an «investment manager and advisor specialising

For all my talk of green lifestyle choices never saving us (which one commenter, not unfairly, recently described as public self - justification), I do believe that personal and local action can have a profound impact on our culture, and that impact can
in turn
create systemic
change for our
economy as a whole.
«The Pacific Coast states and province are working together to build a thriving
economy, while reducing harmful carbon pollution,» said Matt Rodriquez, who attended the meeting on behalf of California Gov. Edmund G. Brown Jr. «Through our shared culture of innovation, we view the challenge of climate
change as an opportunity to develop new markets, attract investment and
create jobs
in the growing clean
economy.
It will take citizens working
in their own communities, region by region, to
create the kind of systemic
change that will lead to sustainable economic practices — practices that foster ecologically responsible production of goods and a more equitable distribution of wealth. Local currencies are a tool to bring about such
change. BerkShares are about building community while building the local
economy.
These
changes are leading the new green
economy and
creating new opportunities
in the job market.
