The Al Gore of sports - The Globe and Mail

Lance Armstrong is the Al Gore of sports. With his compelling recovery from cancer, his Livestrong bracelets and his dominating Tour de France performances, Armstrong brought people to cycling the way Gore had zealots flocking to his personal cause of global-warming catastrophe.

Gore’s pet issue has been taking on water the past year after ClimateGate and a few other tussles with empirical data. And now it appears that, after a string of allegations about Armstrong using performance-enhancing drugs, the legal noose may finally be tightening on the celebrated cyclist. Despite the fact that Armstrong has never tested positive for PEDs, Armstrong is reportedly facing claims of fraud, perjury and drug use from federal officials in the United States after his ol’ pals Floyd Landis, Greg LeMond (among others) ratted him out.

Climate Lessons: Why Would You Believe This? (7 of 8): 'Children born today will not be in a position of influence for 40 years, and by then it will be too late.

Finally, whether we like cap and trade or not, or the jobs argument or not, a price on carbon would create the revenue (“polluters pay”) to fund energy R&D, Carbon Capture and Storage and address regional disparities in any energy and climate legislation.  [Except when most of that revenue is used for other purposes, as it almost certainly would be.]

Flashback: Governor Paterson Raids New York's Environmental and Energy Funding | Richard Schrader's Blog | Switchboard, from NRDC

Last week, Gov. David Paterson unveiled a bruising budget deficit reduction plan that included grabbing $90 million generated by auctions under the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) - the nation's first-ever plan to reduce global warming pollution - and shoving it down the exploding black hole otherwise known as the New York State budget.
