Get PINKDOME Merchandise!

Catty. Chatty. And Occasionally Trashy.

Dec 28
I don't want to get too hopeful

As we saw in An Inconvenient Truth, global warming is a real issue, and current news items show that the unfortunate future is closer than we would like. I'm sure Jim Inhofe still thinks that the media is making it all up.

But seeing this video wherein incoming Environment and Public Works Committee Chair Sen. Barbara Boxer goes over her plan for the committee's work in 2007 leaves me with an optimistic feeling. She states that the environment is a bipartisan issue. She refers to our current national record on global warming as "disastrous" and says that hearings on global warming will begin in January. . . and that's a start.

Leave her alone, you trog! Perhaps you could help global warming by keeping your shit to yourself.
