Stumble it!DeSmogBlog’s Warming Awards
posted in Global Warming, Politics by themaiden |DeSmogBlog has an interesting string of ‘awards’ right now. Obama headlines with “Obama named SmogMaker of 2007″. The charge is that Obama “has presented himself as someone who can overcome the Bush legacy of inaction on climate change”, but is nonetheless “campaigning on a greenhouse gas reduction ‘target’ that the U.S. won’t have to meet for 42 years and he has continued to promote the current administration’s plan to circumvent the Kyoto Protocol, the only international climate agreement currently in place.”
[Edit] DeSmogBlog has now issued an apology to Obama saying that “Obama’s position is a stunning improvement over the current standard and a clear notch up from the other serious contenders. We would like to apologize – to withdraw the award – and to wish him the best in continuing to refine and improve his position.”
