Hillary Says US Ready To Lead On Ruining Economies For Fake Issue : Stop The ACLU
Maybe Hillary should talk to her boss about the CO2 output from his plane while doing photo-ops. An average 747 flight from D.C. to NY roundtrip puts out around 236kg of CO2 per passenger. Of course, we do not know who were the passengers on the flight. Yet.

And, Obama plans on a quick flight to St. Louis for a photo-op and town hall on his 100th day. Guess reducing CO2 output is only for the average American, not our “royalty.”
What does Specter’s party switch mean for climate and energy? | Grist
Given that the Waxman/Markey climate bill is considerably more ambitious than Lieberman-Warner—and likely will remain so even after being hashed over by the House’s conservative Dems—there is every likelihood that Specter, along with many other conservative Dems like Bayh and Nelson, will vote the bill down, or at least weaken it until it’s worthless.
Combet slams Greens stance on emissions | smh.com.au

John McCaslin : 'Green Fatigue' - Townhall.com
On the same day this columnist attended Mr. Drucker's lecture, Katherine Bagley of the Columbia Journalism Review (CJR) wrote: "Another year, another Earth Day, another wave of 'Green Issues' on newsstands … or not. After three years, the springtime fad seems to have run its course, with a number of magazines cancelling and cutting back their special editions on the environment."

She suggested “green fatigue” has swept the nation. Indeed, only last year CJR reported that the number of special environment issues had nearly doubled since 2007.

"This year, the tide turned mightily," she wrote, with Outside, Vanity Fair, Discover, Mother Jones and others canceling green issues. Time and Newsweek even stepped back. Only U.S. News & World Report, Miss Bagley reported, produced "this year's only truly cover-to-cover green issue."
