Re: Green Jobs
[QUOTE=mojorolla;2136529]The main reason that the term fossil is used is because of the dinosaur fossil found in the La Brea tar pits in Los Angeles. The only problem is that the dinosaurs are there because they got trapped in the tar created by decayed plant matter from before the dinosaurs even existed. Possible from when those land areas were once ocean floors.Except "fossil fuels" are not finite. Dead plant matter is constantly being broken down releasing combustible matters. Many housing projects are now are no longer safe to live in due to the methane gas being produced. Also vegetable is be converted into bio diesel. Research is currently being done into developing similar fuels for gasoline engines.[/QUOTE

Are you referring to the fossilized vegetables who post on this site ?

Re: Green Jobs
As usual, you are not right. Beside tax exemption, what is the difference between a religion and a cult? There is no difference.
Why is Islam any worse than the Christian god ghost raping another man's teenage wife or Scientologists with their aliens and volcanos? With the exception of Buhddism, they are all cults.

I don't believe in God but I have no hostility towards religion. I, however, can spot the Christian haters from a mile away. I can also spot a liberal from a mile a way.
PS - To suggest that there's no difference in religions is foolhardy. Do I need to explain it to you?Adversity temporarily visits a strong man but stays with the weak for a lifetime.Comment

Re: Green Jobs
I hate nobody or anything, I just don't agree with any religions. If that is what gives you hope, then do your thing. Where I take issue is when our elected official try to legislate based on their personal religious beliefs. Even the founding fathers saw a need to separate church and state.
This ought to be good, go for it Billy. How is one "sky daddy" different from the rest?

Re: Green Jobs
I am surprised SSG has not made an appearance in this thread considering he has pushed Bidens build back better scheme with "millions of cleaner, greener jobs being made available" out of thin air. Maybe since then he has thought about what he promoted and realized it's not possible.Comment

So, you get twisted in a knot if a person supports legislation based on the 10 commandments but are perfectly okay with a San Francisco drag queen trying to push their agenda on 2nd graders.
You need to rethink your priorities. It doesn't make any difference what the legislation is based on. All that matters is does it make sense.

Re: Green Jobs
I thought you were going to explain to me the difference in the various Sky Daddys ?
Would you be OK with legislation based on the Quran ? We all know the answer to that one Billy.
When did I state I was OK with drag queens teaching children....oh thats right.....I did not.
Isn't teaching children about an invisible man in the clouds indoctrination as well ? What about the molestation of children within the church and the subsequent cover-ups?
Using the same logic you just displayed, you must be fine with the rape of children.
Talk about skewed priorities.

Re: Green Jobs
The only reason you think that is because you don't pay attention. Moreover, the only reason you use the term "sky daddy" is to antagonize those that believe in a higher power. Does it make you feel good? It shouldn't. You need to get in touch with your anger for religion.
I would support any legislation that I agree with. Be that based on the Quron, Bible or some gay dude in California. I don't give a fuck why someone agrees with me just so long as they agree with me.
I'll let you answer your own question about difference in religions.
What's the main difference between the USA and the Middle East? Or do you think there is one?Adversity temporarily visits a strong man but stays with the weak for a lifetime.Comment

Re: Green Jobs
... I guess you did not bother to use Google before making such an uniformed statement. The whole premise of this thread is pretty stupid.
I now never respond to the originator of this thread because "when you argue with a fool, it just proves there are two".
Years ago I had a job in the Green industry as a salesperson responsible for the safe disposal of hazardous industrial chemicals and waste oil.
These are the sectors where green jobs are growing in demand
- Green skills are essential to the transition towards a green economy, with the ILO estimating 24 million jobs worldwide could be created by the green economy by 2030.
- A shift towards green jobs is underway, with LinkedIn jobs data showing in 2015 the ratio of US oil/gas jobs to renewables/environment jobs was 5:1, but by 2020 this was 2:1.
- We are seeing green jobs span a wide range of industries, from obvious ones like renewables, to more unexpected ones like finance, fashion technologies and transport.
The last few months of extreme weather incidents have been a devastating reminder of the damage the climate change crisis is inflicting on communities around the world. As world leaders discuss options at gatherings like the UN’s General Assembly, the World Economic Forum’s Sustainable Impact Development Summit and COP26, a lot of the discussion will focus on accelerating the shift to a green economy.
It’s important to note that green skills are essential to the transition towards a green economy. And this poses questions, challenges and opportunities for labour force planning globally.
Shift to hiring for green jobs is well underway
Over the next decade, we expect to see millions of new jobs created globally due to new climate policies and commitments. The International Labor Organization (ILO) estimates that 24 million jobs worldwide could be created by the green economy by 2030 alone.
On LinkedIn, we can see that the shift to hiring for the green economy is already underway worldwide. Since 2017, we’ve seen the demand for talent with green skills steadily increase as governments and companies step up their commitments and actions to achieve their climate and sustainability goals.
One of the most notable industry changes we’ve tracked in LinkedIn jobs data is the shift away from oil and gas jobs and the surge in renewables and environment roles. In 2015, the ratio of US oil and gas jobs to renewables and environment jobs was 5:1, but by 2020 this ratio had inched closer to 2:1. At this rate, we expect that renewables and environment could actually outnumber oil and gas in total jobs on our platform by 2023, a major pendulum shift towards green jobs in a relatively short period.
As the need for these greener roles grows, employers are increasingly focused on green skills, rather than university degrees. This is partly due to the high demand and the relatively low supply of talent. On our platform we’re seeing scenarios play out where financial investors are recruiting climate scientists without formal training in finance, but who know a lot about how to assess the climate benefits of an investment project. Candidates with green skills are being evaluated differently and setting themselves apart.
What is green talent?
We define green talent as someone who either has at least one skill explicitly listed on their profile that our expert taxonomists classified as a “green” skill, and/or works in a job that we consider a “green” job.
Green skills are abilities or knowledge a worker can use to prevent, monitor, or clean up pollution, and optimise stewardship and conservation of the natural resources that companies use to produce goods and services. In addition to identifying over 600 green skills, we have identified over 400 different green job titles that are working on greening the economy and that typically require green skills.
On LinkedIn, many green skills reported by our members have seen double-digit and triple-digit growth over the last three years. Some of the fastest-growing green jobs are in fields like ecosystem management, environmental policy and sustainable procurement.
While many of these skills are highly specialised and are concentrated among traditional green careers, such as environmental scientists, sustainability managers or wildlife biologists, we also see a growing trend of green skills among professionals in roles that are not traditionally considered “green.”
For example, in the apparel industry, knowledge of sustainable fashion and pollution prevention is increasingly popular among salespeople, designers and stylists. And in environmental finance, sustainable investment is increasingly being reported by portfolio managers and investment analysts. Green skills are trickling out across all types of roles.
Which industries are seeing growth and demand for green jobs?
There’s no such thing as a single “green industry” anymore. We are seeing green jobs span across a wide range of industries, from the obvious ones like renewable energy, to more unexpected ones like finance, fashion technologies and transportation industries.
Employers increasingly expect all members of their workforce to be actively thinking about how to do their jobs more sustainably. And business leaders across industries are setting ambitious goals to be carbon negative in the near future, with notable voices like Blackrock CEO Larry Fink calling on corporations to set plans to be compatible with net zero targets by 2050.
While green talent development is growing faster in sectors like energy and mining, green jobs and talent actually have a higher overall presence in healthcare, agriculture, transportation, construction and manufacturing.
What needs to happen to achieve a green economy?
Our analysis shows that it is critical to broaden the aperture through which we think about the skills and jobs that contribute to a zero-carbon, clean economy. We need to include a range of jobs that aren’t traditionally thought of as green – such as fashion designers or vehicle maintenance technicians – because how people perform these jobs will have a major impact on whether economies meet their climate goals.
