Yanking His Cheney	Ben White	25 Jul 2000	Muckraker
Environmentalists are wasting no time in aiming their fire at former Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney, who this morning became George W. Bush's running mate on the GOP presidential ticket. Enviros are criticizing Cheney's voting record in the House -- he got only a 13 percent career approval rating from the League of Conservation Voters -- and knocking his environmental record as current chair and CEO of the Halliburton oil company. Cheney says cheese. ...

Howl I saw the best wolves of my generation destroyed by madness	Susan Zakin	20 Jul 2000	Soapbox
Gray days for wolves. Photo: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Protection for the gray wolf, totem animal for the Clinton administration's conservation legacy, is likely to be ratcheted down from endangered to threatened, thanks to a proposal unveiled last week by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Its announcement was a fitting coda to eight years of an administration that we kept wishing would do better. ...

Dough -- Oh Dear! Should campaign finance reform become the next big green issue?	Phillip Shabecoff	19 Apr 2000	Arts and Minds
Portions of the following essay were adapted from the new book Earth Rising: American Environmentalism in the 21st Century. "Politics," said Will Rogers, "has got so expensive that it takes lots of money to even get beat with." And that was in the 1930s. The green stuff. Politics today is a lot more expensive. In the 1997-1998 fiscal year, which included an o ...

Cattle Prod Why we need to push livestock off public lands	Debra Donahue, Writers on the Range	25 Feb 2000	Soapbox
Whatever might be said of the arid West, it "ain't no cow country." That's what Henry Fonda, playing Wyatt Earp, said of Arizona in John Ford's 1946 film My Darling Clementine. That's also the bottom line of a book I've written, The Western Range Revisited: Removing Livestock from Public Lands to Conserve Native Biodiversity. In it, I conclude that where mean annual precipitati ...

McCain Is on the Money	Donella H. Meadows	07 Feb 2000	Global Citizen
I've had the fun of voting in six New Hampshire primaries, but this one I had to sit out. I've just moved three miles across the river and become a Vermonter. It was strange to watch all the foofuraw from across the state boundary. I still bumped into the candidates as they cruised the valley, canoed on the river, glad-handed in parking lots, blocked traffic with campaign buses. I still got inundated with their ads. I listened as New Ha ...

Who Dropped the Green from the GOP? A Republican berates his party for abandoning the environment	Karl Hess, Jr.	11 Jan 2000	Soapbox
Republicans are handing Democrats a green Y2K. So far, GOP presidential contenders have all but conceded the environmental issue to Al Gore and Bill Bradley. Rather than fight for the conservation mantle that was once the GOP's, they seem content to not ask and not tell when it comes to the nation's land, air, water, and wildlife. At best, Republican environmental polic ...

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 ...

Killing Dolphins for Free Trade	David R. Brower, David Phillips, William Snape	06 Dec 1999	Soapbox
By David R. Brower, David Phillips and William Snape 06 Dec 1999 Grist readers deserve better than the poorly informed coverage of the tuna/dolphin issue in a recent article by Rick Gaffney, which makes false and misleading claims about "dolphin safe" tuna fishing methods. A dolphin in the deep. Earth Island Institute, Defenders of Wildlife, the Humane Society of the United States, and dozens of other organizations have worked on the tuna/dolphin issue f ...

The Phantom Menace?	Ben White	20 May 1999	Muckraker
Last week brought an end to the remarkable run of Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin, who announced his intention to leave Washington and turn the reins of the federal treasury over to his well-groomed deputy, Lawrence Summers, known affectionately to some enviro insiders as Darth Vader. Although Wall Street may be comfortable with Summers, environmentalists are not. Lawrence Summers, Dark Lord of the Sith In 1991, while at the World Bank, Summers signed ...

Riders on the Storm	Ben White	12 May 1999	Muckraker
No one in her or his right mind thinks the 106th Congress is going to pass a whole lot of actual free-standing legislation. It will likely take every ounce of strength this feeble Congress can muster to pass the essential spending bills that fund the government. So riders, those pesky little items that hope to escape scrutiny by hitching a ride on big money bills, are the name of the game, as noted in last week's Muckraker. The current vehicle for ...

Guess Who's Not Coming to Dinner	Ben White	05 May 1999	Muckraker
California State Senator and environmental booster Byron Sher (D) sent out invitations to a fundraiser recently and listed State Sen. Ray Haynes (R) among his supporters. Trouble is that Haynes is what you might call a movement conservative, given to labeling people like Sher "clean-air Nazis" and "environmental wackos." Sher's office explained the incident to the Riverside Press-Enterprise as a "typographical err ...

Sprawl Brawl	Ben White	28 Apr 1999	Muckraker
The Sierra Club released poll numbers recently indicating that 47 percent of voters would be more likely to support a presidential candidate prepared to aggressively attack the problem of urban sprawl. Most people associate VP Al Gore with that issue, but Seattle Mayor Paul Schell has his own ideas. Schell jumped on Bill Bradley's presidential bandwagon last week and told this reporter a large part of the reason was the former New Jersey senator and hoop ...

Ozone Odd Couple	Ben White	19 Apr 1999	Muckraker
From the strange bedfellows file: Left-leaning Ozone Action and pro-business Competitive Enterprise Institute agree on something. Sort of. The two groups occupy polar opposite ends of a hybrid coalition lined up to oppose a bill before the U.S. Senate that would give credits to companies that voluntarily reduce greenhouse gas emissions in advance of Kyoto Protocol implementation. These guys don't make a habit of staking out similar positions. However ...
