--- Quote ---A decade after the U.S. Senate voted 95-0 to discourage the Clinton administration from signing the Kyoto agreement without dramatic commitments from India and China, it is worth asking how much the political climate for climate change has improved.
Beyond Al Gore's Nobel Prize, there are some positive signs. Today, far more Republicans, such as Senators John McCain and John Warner, advocate some form of capping and trading of carbon emissions. Republican Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is getting ready to sue the Environmental Protection Agency for blocking stringent pollution controls in California. And a growing number of conservative evangelicals have started to embrace a response to global warming under the call for ``creation care.''

I'll never understand why people are so quick to jump on fads. As long as it sounds altruistic, people often assume it is good or accurate. That the business world is buying into this is unsettling and Dixie, I think the only reason it is right is this is from Bloomberg news. They are considerably more interested in facts normally as trading often relies on the accurate news and not media slant.
