Recordo de há dias: Imagino se isto fosse dito pelo Passos, ou pelo Trump...
Recordo de Novembro de 2021: Coerência e ambiente (parte II) em especial
"Há muito que penso que os políticos começaram a falar cada vez mais do ambiente porque era algo que não lhes vinha cobrar. ... Os políticos podiam falar do ambiente à boca cheia sem recear que ainda durante a mesma legislatura alguém lhes viesse pedir contas.
Julgo que a situação pode vir a alterar-se."
No FT de hoje em "Port Talbot closure raises questions over heralded green jobs transition":
"Thousands of workers in Port Talbot will lose their jobs next month as Britain's biggest steelworks goes green - raising questions about the consequences for the labour market from the net zero transition.
Rishi Sunak promised in September that a taxpayer subsidy of €500mn for Tata Steel would "safeguard thousands of jobs" at the totemic site in south Wales. But the prime minister's pledge now rings hollow for the 2,800 employees left on the scrapheap by the Indian-owned conglomerate's decision to close the last two blast furnaces at the Port Talbot site.
Politicians from both main parties have hailed the green transition as a latter-day employment gold rush. Boris Johnson said, when prime minister, the switch to net zero would be the biggest job creator since the industrial revolution: "Everywhere you look, in every part of our United Kingdom, there will be jobs," he promised.
...
For academics, the issue is more nuanced. The clean energy transition should not, overall, be a "destroyer of jobs", according to Anna Valero, a fellow at the London School of Economics' Centre for Economic Performance.
In contrast with previous periods of rapid industrial change, including the collapse of coal mining that has left bitter memories in the Welsh valleys near Port Talbot, the shift is more likely to alter existing roles than wipe out entire industries.
Job losses will be localised, while new vacancies - retrofitting buildings, for example - are likely to be widely dispersed with higher-paid roles clustered near the capital, according to analysts. Carl Sizer, head of regions for consultancy PwC in the UK, warned the creation of new green roles brought with it a risk of regional inequality. Those advertised last year were concentrated in and around London.
...
Yet, economists have said that rather than replacing the jobs lost with equivalent roles in "green" manufacturing, the goal should be to ensure people can find good jobs reasonably close to home. "No one knows what a green job is ... People just want work. They want to know how are they going to earn a decent wage," Kakkad said."
De acordo com o "Brandon":
"According to Dave Weigel of the Washington Post, Biden said, "Anybody who can go down 3,000 feet in a mine can sure as hell learn to program as well... Anybody who can throw coal into a furnace can learn how to program, for God's sake!""
