Lawyers Raking in Fortunes on Global Warming Hoax

It's nice to know that someone will actually benefit from the enviromoonbattery that promises to spin completely out of control once McLame or the Dems take over the White House:
Twenty of the top 100 highest-grossing U.S. law firms are billing as much as $700 dollars per hour for climate change work that ranges from lobbying Congress to helping clients finance clean-energy projects, according to Bloomberg. And the move into climate-change law is gaining traction as Congress considers mandatory GHG caps. Baker & McKenzie, a Chicago-based firm with over 3,300 lawyers, pioneered a climate-change group ten years ago. The team of 60 lawyers brought in an estimated revenue of $15 to $20 million in 2007, said Richard Saines, who heads the US part of the practice.
According to Chuck Wehland, an environmental partner at Washington-based Jones Day, hourly rates for climate-change partners at the biggest firms range from $500 to $700.
Given that responsible leadership in Washington appears to be out of the question for the time being, there will be no shortage of work for global warming hoax profiteers. Hit lists have already been compiled of companies to be sued into the ground for being productive once a cap on CO2 emissions has been passed.
Enjoy your standard of living while you can. Unless you're a lawyer, it won't last long.
On a tip from Wiggins.
