UN forecasts boom in 'green jobs' 
"The UN says millions of new jobs will be created worldwide over the next few decades by the development of alternative energy technologies...
It says "green jobs" depend on a shift of subsidies from oil and natural gas to wind, solar, and geothermal power.
New jobs could also include the expansion of recycling and making environmentally friendly vehicles."

use 'increasing poverty'
"The replacement of traditional fuels with biofuels
has dragged more than 30 million people worldwide into poverty,
an aid agency report says.
Oxfam says so-called green policies in developed countries
are contributing to the world's soaring food prices, which
hit the poor hardest. The group also says biofuels will
do nothing to combat climate change...
One UN adviser went as far as describing biofuels as a "crime
against humanity". "
