Because all the CO2 hysteria wouldn't fit in 390 pages

Transition talk: A 391-page green gorilla in the room | Gristmill: The environmental news blog | Grist
Twenty-nine of the country's biggest green groups today rolled out a comprehensive list of actions and policies they'd like President-elect Barack Obama to adopt after he takes office Jan. 20. In it, the groups stress the need for an approach that unites environment, energy, and economic policies. "We need to dig ourselves out of the financial hole we're in with a green shovel," said National Wildlife Federation President Larry Schweiger during a conference call with reporters.

The groups' 391-page document [PDF], which was delivered to Obama's transition team yesterday, emphasizes the need for green investment to achieve economic growth.
