The topics mentioned in the article are an incredible waste of thought and intellectual curiosity. Yes, there is value in exploiting this riduculous hysteria and making some money. We may as well jump on the band wagon. Brainstorm! No idea is too riduculous.
I'll start:
By removing Copper cents from circulation we are reducing the weight of our currency: thereby reducing the carbon cost of transporting such currency. For a fee we will provide consultation on how to acheive these savings. |

Profiting from climate change hysteria is trying to earn the unearned - by relying on the irrationality of others, you are only helping spread irrationality, which could ultimately come back to bite you.

I definately agree, all this kind of reminds me of the cash business many of those flamboyant preachers run. My above post was obviously toungue and cheek. But I still bet you could sell the remove copper weight idea based on the carbon footprint nonsense. |

And carried to its logical governmental end, they would get around to reducing the weight of ALL money and you can just carry around your plastic little greenly recyclable plastic card, or scan the RFID in your hand/arm.
Then YOU have NO MONEY, just a card/check with BANK CREDIT.

Yeah, and what about the gases expelled from firearms? We're already close to your scenario. My wallet is full of these GD membership cards that track my purchases. The grocery store extorts you by raping you if you don't have one. All this stuff is creeping up on us little by little. I'm sick of all this evironmental stuff. Did you know in some cities you are not allowed to cut down or even trim a tree on your own property. |

I think you guys are missing the point that I feel Jade and the author are trying to make. The author is not saying to exploit climate change, or take advantage of individuals, or dupe anyone in any fashion. He merely suggests that it would behoove writers, who sometimes get paid to produce articles, to educate themselves on these topics. If it turns out that climate change is actual(which though it appears may be real, could be a cyclical planetary phenomena rather than manmade... I'm not convinced yet)... then those individuals who had taken the time to research their related topics would be well-positioned to write and lecture on the material they had taken the time to become self-educated upon. Writers run dry at times, for ideas. I feel the author was only trying to stimulate their thinking so as to give them fresh inspiration. Nothing wrong with that, IMHO!  |

exactly! I think the "how can we profit by this," in the initial post, got everyone off on an unintended tangent. But good discussion, as a result.  |

Oh I like this discussion. That's why I started it with the collective "we".
I agree that the writer is suggesting to other writers ideas to write about. I also detect a hint of sarcasm in the article where he says you can go to conferences and get a book deal etc. In other words it does not take much to become a c-change expert. Perhaps nothing more than creativity.
It's not just about writing. You could profit from a product related to CC. You might even profit from an anti-CC product.
