That was just an example of how it could create new jobs. If they are employing more people, those people have money to spend which spurs on the economy. 

There's no perfect solution to it all, there's positives and negatives to every method. Governments just go with the majority opinion, which is that of deregulation in the USA. Honestly don't want to go much further into this arguement as I normally just start convincing myself we're all doomed.

Not really doomed.  I mean global warming won't be the end of the world or anything.  Heck for countries like Canada and Russia it'd actually be a bonus.

Though yeah, the world is pretty screwed due to population growth and the emergence of developing countries.

China's economic development alone pretty much makes any global warming strategy a pipe dream.

Eh. I think that problem can be solved pretty easily. If we stopped giving food aid to Africa, Darwin would do the work for us. Additionally, if developing countries can jump some of the worst parts of industrialization through new advances in technology, it may not be as bad as you think.
