Glad We Didn’t Ratify Kyoto: Europe,
Japan Face $46 Billion Global-Warming Penalty…The Governator: ” Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger has instructed state agencies to prepare for climate change, especially rising seas,
as they plan to replace, upgrade and repair the system of pipelines that distributes water around

Not Surprised: “When oil prices soared, consumers didn’t just feel it at the gas pump.
They felt it at the airport, the florist, even when they got their kitchen sink fixed, as businesses

probably be averted because of man-made greenhouse gases, scientists said
Wednesday…”
Hat tip: Marc Morano.
Who wins in the war of endangered species
versus an endangered humanity? Shockingly — oh so shockingly — humans win this round in
the Supreme Court.
Well, that’s really just meant as a
humorous intro to the news that Virginia gov. Tim Kaine will make climate change his top concern for
the coming year. The coming year just happens to be his last in this office while he looks for
another political post.
