Operation Squander As Kyoto goes live, U.S. green groups offer tepid response	Amanda Griscom Little	16 Feb 2005	Muckraker
It's an action-packed week on the climate front: The Kyoto Protocol finally goes into effect today throughout the vast majority of the industrialized world (the U.S. conspicuously not included), and Capitol Hill is awash in climate-related assaults and initiatives. As Kyoto and climate bills heat up, greens' response is tepid. Congress is facing a double whammy of President Bush's m ...

Greenpeace Gives Peace a Chance Greenpeace shifts tactics as it looks ahead to four more years of Bush	Amanda Griscom Little	08 Feb 2005	Muckraker
At a time when environmental groups are facing questions about their own mortality and rethinking strategies for surviving Dubya's second term, Greenpeace USA -- the environmental group best known for in-your-face, laws-be-damned direct action -- is getting in touch with its inner Gandhi.

Take It or Leavitt Hillary Clinton threatens to block Bush's EPA nominee	Amanda Griscom	10 Sep 2003	Muckraker
As the second anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks looms, the Bush administration is facing opprobrium for having deceived the American public about possible air-quality concerns at Ground Zero. Behind the scenes, the issue has become somewhat bizarrely entwined with another hot topic: the confirmation of Republican Gov. Michael Leavitt of Utah as the new U.S. EPA administrator. What's ...

Give Greenpeace a Chance	Ben White	08 Sep 2000	Muckraker
By now the trials and tribulations that have befallen Greenpeace USA in recent years are well-known. In the biggest blowup, the entire board resigned after bickering with Greenpeace International-backed Executive Director Kristen Engberg over the direction and organization of the redoubtable environmental group. Current and former staffers ranted about Engberg's leadership style, which they described as based on intimidation. Engberg loyalists ...

Fire on the Mountain	Ben White	13 Apr 2000	Muckraker
Enviros in Washington are apoplectic over what they fear will be a pre-Earth Day cave-in by the Clinton administration over mountaintop-removal mining in West Virginia. This used to be a mountain. Photo: David Miller, www.mountaintopmining.org. Readers may recall this battle from last year's appropriations season, when powerful Sen. Robert Byrd (D-W.Va.) introduced a rider that would have bypassed a federal judge's ruling against the destructive mini ...

How Will the West Be Won?	Ben White	27 Mar 2000	Muckraker
In our last column, we promised to put the presidential campaign on the back burner and take a look at some of the key House and Senate races likely to decide control of the 107th Congress, as well some of the competitive gubernatorial contests. Instead of attempting to cover the entire country in one column (a feat exhausting for both reader and columnist), we will begin this week with the Pacific region and move on in subsequent columns thr ...

Sierra Club Can't Take a Leak	Ben White	12 Jan 2000	Muckraker
A memo circulated recently around the Sierra Club's offices highlighted the "Top Ten" reasons the group should not endorse Vice Pres. Al Gore. The memo, written by Sierra Club board member Michael Dorsey and unearthed by the Washington Times last week, says: "Does Vice President Gore really care about nature? Does he care about protecting people from hazardous waste and toxic pollution? Does he care about human life and the fu ...

What's So Funny About Greenpeace, Love, and Understanding? Part II	Ben White	20 Dec 1999	Muckraker
Last week, we aired the ranting of a former Greenpeace USA staffer about the current state of the organization in the wake of the recent decision by the board of directors to resign en masse. This week, we offer a forum to Craig Culp, director of media affairs at Greenpeace, who, shall we say, was less than thrilled at the anonymous flame from the former staffer. Culp said the board simply came to a po ...

It's Miller Time in Cali	Ben White	10 Dec 1999	Muckraker
Bill Bradley has not been particularly competitive with Vice Pres. Gore in the world of endorsements and establishment support within the Democratic Party. In fact, he's been roundly trounced. Gore boasts scores of supporters in Congress and among various and sundry party potentates scattered across the country. Gore also leads in endorsements from labor unions and other traditional Democratic interest groups. (Readers know that greenie groups bu ...
