...Bush White House was so profoundly hostile to action on global warming that during its eight-year tenure, one could have qualified as a "green progressive" simply by asserting that climate change was real. In 2007, under these circumstances - perhaps because of them - was born an unlikely alliance between Duke Energy, a North Carolina-based utility that depends heavily on coal, and the Environmental Defense Fund, which together with 30 other green groups and major corporations, formed the U.S. Climate Action Partnership (USCAP...
...with so many other things, the inauguration of President Barack Obama has people hoping that these kinds of questions will be more aggressively addressed than they were over the past eight years. Even during the most heated days of the fall campaign, neither candidate went so far as to promise longer life in exchange for a vote. But a smart environmental policy could deliver just that...

...allegations against Park Dae Sung are correct. According to his lawyer, Park taught himself economics, reading books on the subject since 1997. Indeed, there are some skeptics. The conservative monthly ShinDongA claims that Park may not be the real Minerva at all and that a group of eight other bloggers have professed to writing under the alias. Park's lawyer says the magazine's allegation is "nonsense...
