Ecollywood: The cast of 90210 goes green | Instead of driving our cars, why don't we all just "get picked up"?

Dianna Agron, who plays a popular cheerleader in Glee, is also avidly eco-conscious, recycling and taking reusable bags to the store. She eventually plans to trade her Mini Cooper for a hybrid, but that will have to wait at least until she returns from a summer trip to Malawi, where she and a friend will help out Doctors Without Borders. Her co-star Chris Colfer wants a hybrid too, but thinks the ideal cars “would be like sea monkeys, which can live off their own waste.”
Usually it takes until July or August for me to descend into this pit of winter despair, but this year it seems to me there was no autumn, and winter arrived straight after summer - or what passed for summer.MinnPost - Steger aims climate-change message at N. Dakota audiences (and officials)
Climate change? For sure. Global warming? Maybe, but if so, it's happening somewhere else.
The big gas-fired space heater in the lounge has been going nightly and sometimes daily since the middle of April so Genesis Energy is making a fortune at my expense.
Steger was greeted raucously by students at Valley Middle School in Grand Forks, where 8th grade math teacher Greg Taylor said they "have been studying global warming, both sides of the issue." He spent much of his time with the students relating his 220-day crossing of Antarctica in 1989-90, but he also urged them to "educate yourselves" on the issues of global warming. "And, when you get a chance, educate your parents."The Sausage Factory, in All Its Nauseating Glory - Chris Horner - Planet Gore on National Review Online

If there were dissenters in the audience, they held their tongues, though one student complained to a teacher before Steger's arrival that "global warming is crap" and climate change is "just cyclical."

Steger's public forum in the evening also seemed more a rally for the already persuaded than an effort to win over skeptics.
There are skeptics.
"We don't need a Ministry of Propaganda in this country," Jonathon B. from Stephen, Minn., commented on-line in response to a Grand Forks Herald story on Monday's school assembly. "We already have it in the public school system."
...Wha? Gosh, that’s impressive, when the Left and Far Left are able to bridge their differences. Now comes the harder part, as we shall see that this breakthrough still leaves them short of a House (let alone Senate) majority. They’ve got the numbers. With the sun about to shine on this scheme, they’ll see they don’t, in the end, have the votes.
