More evidence of fading CO2 hysteria

See the post here, which asks "Will Oscar's eco-efforts pale compared to last year?".

Excerpt:
Last year's Academy Awards were a veritable green fest, what with Inconvenient Truth's multiple wins and the Gore/Leo announcement about the Oscars officially going green (albeit via carbon offset). Green itself could have gotten its own award -- perhaps for its role as "the new black."

This year, however, things are ... different. For one, green didn't quite make the nominee cut (sorry, Leo). But there also hasn't been much press about green efforts at the event itself. Plenty wonders if that's due to the green backlash last year (cross-country flights and all) or maybe the focus on the writers' strike.
From the Plenty article linked above:
No hoopla planned for a green carpet at this Sunday’s upcoming Academy Awards.
