Nothing worse than a group sulk.

CNN actually changed its on-screen logo color to green to mark the occasion. Yet, on his other network, CNN Headline News, Klein continues to give prime-time billing to global warming denier Glenn Beck. Think Progress has video of Beck's show from Tuesday night -- the very night Planet in Peril was airing. So, Mr. Klein, is the planet in peril or not? On CNN, the planet is in peril. On CNN's Headline News, it's not. CNN is green. CNN's Headline News is not. How come Anderson Cooper, Dr. Sanjay Gupta and that animal planet guy aren't on Glenn Beck's show to explain why CNN thinks the planet is in peril? Maybe you could force Glenn Beck to watch "Planet in Peril" and hope he'll learn something.</blockquote> Joe Sudbay at Americablog makes a very interesting observation about CNN’s interest in the climate issue and addresses CNN president, Jonathan Klein:

Now he definitely won't run. He's on top of the world, why mess that up? I would like him to, but just don't see it happening. Would be happy to be wrong. Hey, I'd even vote for him this time!

Can It!
If you do buy canned food, be sure to recycle. Recycling a single aluminum can conserves 96% of the energy used to produce another from scratch.
