The Top 5 Environmental Newsmakers of 2008

Rico's Comments On Al Gore

For once, and I never thought that I'd actually be saying this, I actually agree with my younger brother Rico. I was on the same site apparently right when he posted the comment and I totally agree.

Rico's Comments On Al Gore

I'm Rico's big brother, and am in my junior year in High School, and for once I actually agree with him. Wow. Never thought that I'd say that.

Al Gore

I can't beleive that these guys let Allie Gore into the countdown-type thing. I mean, what the heck has he done for the environment in 2008?!? Seriously, I read the paper everyday and I only heard Al's name mentioned, like, twice. I am dead serious andam not exagerating. Oh, and just so yall know, I'm only in 6th grade, so ha.

The people who should be headliners are the ones who are fighting for smart, realistic ways to meet our energy needs and address legitimate environmental concerns. People like Vaclav Claus, Roy Spencer, Steve Milloy, the folks at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, Robert Bryce, Rob Bradley, Kathleen Hartnett White, Sterling Burnett, Ed Craig, Ken Green, Peter Huber, Dennis Avery, Fred Singer, Sen. Inhofe, Marc Morano, and others.

I have to throw out a recommendation to include Tim DeChristopher in this list. His move to disrupt the unjust land auctions in Utah provided an inspiration to many conservationists concerned with the future of our planet.

Here are a couple of articles on Tim's actions:
