I don't want to get all giddy over the Democratic victory and what it means for the planet. But this little snippet of news from today's WaPo is a good way to start your day off right.
Sen. John W. Warner (R-Va.) announced his intention to become the top Republican on the Senate Environment and…
Friday, February 2, 2007 (3:30 AM EST): Tune in to listen to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) webcast announcing the Working Group I's approval of their Fourth Asssessment Report. There's no doubt the global warming naysayers will critique the IPCC's report with …
Tuesday was "open mike" day at Senator Barbara Boxer's Environment and Public Works committee, reports the Washington Post's Juliet Eilperin. Senate Dems including Barak Obama took stage to hammer home the overwhelming consensus that climate change is real, and that major policy action, notably…
I caught a portion of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works hearing regarding the California CO2 Waiver on CSPAN last night. You can read Senator Boxer's (majority) opening comments here and Senator Inhofe's (minority) opening comments here.
It's bad enough when Inhofe says things…
Sweet indeed! So much sweetness today, I may have to up my dose of prandin!
Take your time on the ICP...I am taking tonight off for a glass of champagne myself, so I can't ask more of you.
Take care, my friend.

this change would be sweet indeed. I don't think it spells the end to character assasination on this issue though.
As an avid cyclist, a concerned environmentalist and a strong atheist, I hate everything Inhofe stands for. I consider him the absolute worst Senator--and that includes the outgoing @#$% from my home state of Pennsylvania.
Ron,
Unfortunately, I don't have any Champagne in the fridge, but I have plenty of homemade red wine in the basement. Mmmmmmmmmmm...
That IS one of the better of many good outcomes here. I despise that lying SOB. He has more concern for the profits of oil companies than he does for all the to-be-parched generations that come after him...his name if it is remembered at all, should always be associated with the denialist idiocy that has delayed action on global warming. perhaps a special honor is in order, like when a glacier has completely melted away, it gets renamed as an Inhofe glacier. or perhaps tropical storms or tornados that exceed historical intensities or frequencies by more than one standard deviation can be categorized in the "Inhofe Bonus" category of storm.
Good ridance.
[oh and Inhofe, more than any plays, the fundies like a cheap whore and claims he represents them]
Good ridance.
