This article from The Independent (UK) gives me hope that all is not lost to the alarmists on the global warming front. Now maybe our state legislature will learn something from across the pond. Here’s a sample:
“Tony Blair came under concerted attack from leading environmental groups yesterday as he was accused of appearing “indistinguishable” from George Bush on green issues.
In a critical sign that environmentalists have lost faith in Mr Blair, WWF, Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth separately rounded on the Prime Minister accusing him of undermining efforts to tackle the growth of greenhouse gases…Green campaigners feel betrayed…They say the Prime Minister has actually undermined hard-fought gains, particularly on the Kyoto protocol, by questioning the need for binding targets on reducing emissions and by suggesting they might be incompatible with economic success.”
The real question is will our elected officials in Raleigh be willing to “come under concerted attack from environmental groups” for the sake of good public policy.
