It never amazes me how the Bushies can take something like global warming and the possible extinction of our species, and spin it like it's the best thing since freedom become synonymous with repressive regimes enforcing religous idiology on multiple cultures.
Global Warming Bill Means Thousands of New Jobs:
National increases of 510,000 new jobs by 2015;
602,000 new jobs by 2020;
801,000 new jobs by 2025.
some job losses in the coal industry, but those effects could be mitigated through policies to promote deployment of advanced coal technologies,

Come on now, Cameron. Did you even read the article?

http://www.nrdc.org/media/pressreleases/050210a.asp
Major global warming legislation would add more than 800,000 new jobs in America by 2025, according to a new study released today. The bi-partisan bill . . . would trigger new development and investment in clean energy technologies, bringing much-needed employment to states and diverse job sectors across the country.
Largest job gains would occur in construction, wholesale and retail trade, and medical services and other service industries due to increased energy-efficiency and lower energy costs.
The major economic sectors that would be positively affected include non-energy manufacturing industries, which would see energy savings through the adoption of clean energy technologies, service industries, as consumers are projected to spend energy savings on goods and services, and agriculture, which would rise slightly under the current version of the bill. The energy and fuel industries would experience some job loss, mostly covered through normal turnover.
Senators McCain and Lieberman today expressed their desire to add further technological incentives to the bill in energy industries, such as a higher investment to deploy advanced coal technologies which would reduce CO2 emissions while preserving employment.
I don't possibly see where the "Bushies" are involved in this. Who is the one spinning this again?

I didn't think anyone read the articles. . . and after the report broke on Scientist being told to alter findings that came out in the LA times this week . . . I spun it a little far lefter than usual to include congress rewriting bills to highlight beneifts.


Nice catch, somebody has to watch the person watching the watchdogs.
