I’m not sure that Saran Palin understands. She had this to say about global warming in a Washington Post editorial.
I know that Carbon Dioxide is a great gift from God, also a gift that brings warmth to [...]
South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham is working to pass the Kerry-Boxer climate bill, understanding that America’s future depends upon it.
I’ve sent him the following letter. I urge all people who care about future generations to write a letter of thanks.
Senator Graham:
Your bipartisan work on the climate bill will be remembered by historians as a pivotal [...]
It sounds like it may have been inspired by Oxfam’s Hunger Banquet, and it will be interesting to see how it works. Mandarins at the United Nations will be subjecting world leaders to a little diplomatic shock therapy at today’s UN climate negotiations in an effort to inject a greater sense of urgency into the [...]
