Global warming: Too close to home
SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER EDITORIAL BOARD

Which is scarier -- the economy or global warming? Climate change gets our vote, in part because it will be with us for decades to come.

...there are indications (hailed with bizarre glee in the sparsely populated corridors of global warming skeptics) that the troubled economy will cause politicians in many countries to pull back from job-creating investments in alternative energy, smarter transportation and carbon sequestration. There's a real nightmare: letting the economy lead us into operating as if business as usual will solve climate change.
There's plenty of "climate resistance" in the comment section.

Now you know why I am hoping for a severe winter for Western Washington. Seattle and Olympia NEED several feet of snow, complete with lengthy power outages. I don't neccessarily want to see suffering, but it's what the statewide environmental policies dreamed up by Western Washington would inflict on Eastern Washington. The lawmakers in Olympia need to experience the results of their stupidity.
