Does it sometimes seem to you as if the only people left in the world who don't get the reality of global warming are the Republicans (and, yes, a few Democrats) on Capitol Hill?

(Vail is doing its part to promote renewable energy, in part because the ski business is expected to be devastated by global warming.)

Senators Vote to Open Drilling in the Central Gulf of Mexico

(Because clearly oil is the solution to our energy problems.)

Unions Say E.P.A. Bends to Political Pressure

(Because toxic chemicals in pesticides is a good thing.)
