The lack of celebration of the low levels of air pollution in New Zealand by Greenpeace, the Greens and environmentalists can only be explained by mass kidnapping. Otherwise they would be dancing in the streets. We pray for their early release from their outrageous captivity by mystery hostage-takers.

If you do not follow this guy’s blog, there is a serious gap in your education in urban and environmental economics especially with regard to climate change.

It is hard to imagine any merchant who harmed the environment as much as Henry David Thoreau…
We are a destructive species, and if you love nature, stay away from it. The best means of protecting the environment is to live in the heart of a city.

Just as the Vice Fund specialises in investing in tobacco, alcohol, gaming and defence shares, Cool Futures Funds Management is starting-up to specialise in betting against global warming by shorting green stocks:
…instead of renewables being our energy future, they’re betting on the subsidies drying up and the whole industry collapsing; instead of fossil fuels being left in the ground as “stranded assets”.
An example of the nice little earners this hedge fund can come across is anticipating when particular investors will want to disinvest from fossil fuels.
When institutional investors ranging from universities to sovereign investment funds such as the New Zealand Superannuation Fund seek to disinvest from fossil fuels, that will be a good time to buy cheap shares.The

A lot of jobs depend upon action to fight climate change and global warming. Perhaps they should be little bit easier about accusing others of being on the payroll to criticise or advocate for a particular position in those debates.
There has been a recession in the climate change and global warming industry in the last few years. Then there was a bit of a rebound after the Paris climate talks and subsequent agreement to promise to do something but whatever that was is up to you and your domestic political constituencies.
