Turn on the news today and you're faced with the following shocking revelations: it's winter and it's snowing in the Midwest...people in Congress are saying stupid things about Iraq...and Anna Nicole Smith is still dead.
Of course, no one is forcing us to watch, but the sin here is that for those who really want an idea of what's going on in the world, there is no room for mention of things like USCAP.
Everyone knows that the Hatfields and McCoys of the environmental scene are Big Energy and the tree huggers. And yet, key opponents--people like GE, DuPont and BP on one side, and NRDC and Environmental Defense on the other--have put their heads together and said, 'we've got to do something about global warming--and here's our plan'.
Their report is short on exact numbers in some key areas, but there's no question but that it's something that can and should be argued immediately by Congress, and other interested parties.
My favorite environmentalist, Scott Miller, and I often lament that if the current, genuine, environmentally-charged Al Gore had replaced the somewhat stilted version who ran in 2000, he'd still be sitting in the White House now. But no use crying over spilled chads.
This initiative deserves some play. If you're interested, the link is here.
