Investors Daily noted that Paulson chaired the "respected" Nature Conservancy, but both Goldman Sach and Nature Conservancy are in favor on mandatory GHG controls (come to think of it, so was O'Neil). Paulson's appointment is opposed by a coalition of free market-based policy groups, including the National Legal and Policy Center, the Free Enterprise Action Fund, Capital Research Center, National Center for Public Policy Research, and Center for the Defense of Free Enterprise. http://www.impactwire.com/article.asp?id=2486
I also note that the book on global warming sponsored by the British government (foreword by Blair) called "Avoiding Dangerous Climate Change" (http://www.edie.net/news/news_story.asp?id=11021) was just launched in the US on May 9 at JP MorganChase (Exxon is a major shareholder); this book is designed to scare up political support in the US and elsewhere for binding measures more significant than Kyoto: http://www.defra.gov.uk/news/2006/060509e.htm.
Just what is going on these days? Is the Bush administration turning Green?
