Come on, we’re applauding Salazar for recognizing that climate change is a problem? That’s the least we can expect out of him. Science has regained some role at Interior, but is still not driving decision-making there. Better than Bush just means better than terrible.

Salazar delisted the wolves back in March over the objections of a lot of scientists. A bunch of groups have sued, but in the meantime Idaho and Montana have permitted wolf hunts. It doesn’t seem like Interior’s attitude toward oil and gas drilling on public lands has changed much.

We’ll see what decision Salazar makes on offshore drilling, particularly in the Arctic. That’ll show his true colors.

Actually, Al Gore purchased 2 mercury mariner hybrids after he was catching hell for driving a lexus..and as far as air travel he uses a private jet and when not on the road he and his wife suck off of you in their 9,000 square foot home in Tenn, that burns more energy then 20 homes combined per year….

Last I heard Gore was driving the same kind of car as the Clinton’s, and Obama’s personal car, as well as several others – Ford Escape hybrid. I don’t know how Gore travels and I choose not to pull shit out of my ass like trolls.

Again, we need some citations to prove that Al Gore is responsible for global warming. How do we know you are truthful if you have no proof. Oh, the neo-cons did tell us to attack Iraq because of weapons of mass destruction.
There was no proof of that either.

How does the neo-con brain work? Apparently it does not.

The climate change message might come across better if they (Al Gore) Waxman and the rest of the liberals in congress wouldn’t try and sell their BS until they try to live the way they want us to do….

It seem there is another person who hates us almost as much as he hates himself. “Us progressives” may have to drive cars. But the progressives. did not have cocaine and sex parties with the “energy industry” at the Dept. of Interior. That is how neo-cons solved our dependence on Saudi Arabia Oil.
