		<title>McCain&#8217;s Choice of Palin Shows Disregard For Environment, Science</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In The Washington Post, Julie Eilperin examines the differences between the views on climate change of John McCain and Sarah Palin.  While McCain has spoken broadly of his belief in the contribution of human activities to climate change, Palin only acknowledges that temperatures are warming but refuses to state on the record that she believes [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=greencomments.wordpress.com&blog=4206859&post=159&subd=greencomments&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Ike&#8217;s Lessons:  Who owns the beach?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the LA Times, Michael Graczyk and Cain Burdeau report on how even homes left standing after Hurricane Ike may be in danger.  Texas law asserts that land within the average high tide-line and the average low tide-line is public property, and therefore buildings on that land are illegal.  Homes in Galveston that used to be protected from [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=greencomments.wordpress.com&blog=4206859&post=154&subd=greencomments&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Easy Green Action:  Caps Off</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m sure you are all recycling as much as possible.   But as pointed out in Earth Talk at The Christian Science Monitor, HOW you recycle is important, too.  Check the rules for your recycling center or curb-side recycling.  For example, many of the caps on plastic bottles are not necessarily the same type of plastic [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=greencomments.wordpress.com&blog=4206859&post=152&subd=greencomments&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Sarah Palin on the Environment, II</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In an interview with Newsmax, Sarah Palin announces that she is a doubter that global warming is man-made, and talks about how drilling for more oil and natural gas will solve the energy problems of the United States.  In fact, she criticizes George Bush&#8217;s lack of action on allowing more oil drilling in Alaska. 
The most ironic [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=greencomments.wordpress.com&blog=4206859&post=150&subd=greencomments&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Palin and the Environment</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sarah Palin hasn&#8217;t been in public office long enough to have much of a record on the environment, but her response to the listing of the polar bear on the Endangered Species list gives a hint of her potential to follow in Dick Cheney&#8217;s footsteps.  According to Reuters, Palin chooses oil profits over the well-being [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=greencomments.wordpress.com&blog=4206859&post=148&subd=greencomments&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Bush Administration Solution to High Gas Prices?  Cut Mass Transit Funding.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Department of Transportation is a little upset that Americans are driving less.  You see, they promised money to a number of states for road upkeep and when people started driving less, and thus consuming less gasoline, gasoline tax revenues declined. 
So, Secretary of Transportation Mary E. Peters, proposes that the slack be taken up by [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=greencomments.wordpress.com&blog=4206859&post=140&subd=greencomments&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
