High Noon

Greenwire reports that newly installed Senate Environment and Public Works Committee Chairman Barbara Boxer (D-CA) plans to hold global warming hearings starting January 30th. Boxer said she wanted to "take the pulse of my colleagues as to where they are on this issue." Rep. Joe Barton (R-TX), the Energy and Commerce Committee's ranking member, responded as if his party had been challenged to a shootout at the OK Corral. "Certainly the Democrats in the Senate have signalled they're going to make climate change a big issue. We need to have our guys locked and cocked over here." Easy there, Joe.

Greenwire, by the by, is part of Energy and Environment Publishing which is doing a good job covering the shift of power in Washington and what it means for climate change.

4. Inhofe: "You needn't take it any further, sir."

"You've proved to me that all this CO2 and global warming is wrong, wrong, and terribly wrong."

Pelosi: "You're not cured yet, boy."

6. Having just gotten back from Al Gore's training

I can tell you that the Climate Project is going to
make things hot for GW deniers over the next year.

The enthusiasm, energy, competence and drive of the
trainees was amazing, and veterans of lifetime
environmental work agreed that they had never seen
as electric and exciting event as this one.
Each trainee is qualified to explain Gore's slide information,
the basic science behind GW.

Watch for these folks to start spreading the
word in your communities.
