It must be the time for enviro interest groups to gather and flap their wings and caw Armageddonist and alarmist things. The Sierra Club and the WWF both have sent out well-received and well-played news releases. The SUV-driving Sierra Club execs are calling for a logging ban on private (of course) forest land to help save the spotted owl. The WWF says global warming will kill almost all the birds on the planet, which seems to make the Sierra Club’s release moot. It must be the time of year.
