1. It's an attempt to counter the right wing blather...

I think the "opportunity" meme (as in "think of all the great green industries we can develop that will provide jobs&quot is an attempt to preempt the right wing argument that our attempts to limit carbon emissions would "cost jobs" and "cost billions we don't have" and "crush the economy."

But I agree with you, "opportunity" is not the reason we should support efforts to limit climate change. Survival is the reason.

3. Yeah, I see your point. Maybe it is a good tactic.

4. Hate it or not, it's good politics

Politics is the art of the possible - I'm am all for anything that will convince more people to side with approaches which will keep our planet livable.
