Senators Request Inquiry Into White House Global Warming Activities

This may be too little too late as far as the Bush Administration is concerned (given everything else on the nation's plate), but it's good news none-the-less. Fourteen senators have called for an investigation into the suppression, manipulation, and limitation of global warming

Letter by 14 Senators

Unfortunately, I have two Republican senators, Saxby Chambliss and Johnny Isakson. They give pat responses to my complaints, but I keep sending them nonetheless. It was good to see the one independent on the list.

Jim Jeffords is my hero - I actually voted for him in Vermont when he was a Republican, beacuse he was, well, Jim Jeffords. And then he switched and became the only Independent because he was so disgusted with the Reps, and I was so proud of him.

It's rough being in a state that doesn't represent your own opinions on key issues. I imagine it must feel akin to someone waving to you from shore when they see your arms flapping as you drown.

One thing I really think is going to make a difference is when the Republicans figure out how much money they can make off of climate change. I'm really counting on that happening, because I don't see how we'll make much progress...until Jeb Bush's house gets flooded.

I surfed over to your blog from angel80, and I was really impressed with how you explained the atmospheric circulation and regional climate in Australia.

I think that there actually are some climate forecasters making money working for insurance companies and the like. Some agrobusiness concerns must be looking into it as well.
