Maybe it's difficult for Mr. Kristoff to assess his situation. This is looking south today, March 12, 2005 from the Historic Park of Fort Lee, Manhattan. We are approaching the Spring Solstice. The temperatures today are low of 30 degrees Fahrenheit, an average of 40 F and a high of 45 F. The windchill takes the high to 40 F with a velocity of nine miles per hour out of the West. With that coming out of the west I already know NYC is out of the heat transfer system from the south so it's mostly the cold air from Canada reaching NYC. There are clear skies, with a dew point of 19, which is below freezing, humidity of 36% and a rising barometer of 29.43 inches. The barometer is rising because the low pressure vortex is stationed with it's circulation center below Greenland. The reason the vortex is there is to COOL the troposphere of Earth. It is doing so at the expense of the Greenland Ice Sheet even though it is not yet Spring and the Arctic Ocean which is the ICE CUBE to the world's oceans which can now be navigated that the sea ice has receded. Above is the Water Vapor Satellite of the North Atlantic Vortex. NOT THE JET STREAM. Live with that reality, Mr. Kristof. 
'I Have a Nightmare'
Mr. Kristof has a nightmare and all of a sudden the landscape of the nation's environmental movement is supposed to change. Perhaps Mr. Kristof needs Ambien.

Democrats and Independents Get It RIGHT the FIRST TIME
Take a hike, Nicholas. Literally. Maybe you might want to walk the Smokies with Sierra's Ted Synder.
The Enviromental Groups that exist today are among the greatest people alive. Some are even dead due to their 'alarmed' lives of chronic disrespect leading to acts like lying across railroad tracks to stop trains carrying nuclear waste.
What has happened is valid issues are always shelved for the sake of Oil Tycoons and wrongful Oil Barrons like George Walker Bush.
Perhaps you haven't noticed excpetional legislation that came out of the sixites and the seventies.
What started the movement into conservation and appreciation for health from environmental contaminants including a long needed appreciation for stewardship and ecosystem preservation?
Because you mention a WOMAN nowhere in your editorial. You allude to her but don't directly mention her. She was an alarmist and when her alarm went out she died two years later of breast cancer.
The name is Rachel Carson and the book was "Silent Spring."

You'll excuse me for being rude, Mr. Kristof, but, I think you are trying too hard to be 'Bushian' because you are having trouble with your visas and care to denigrade the very INSTITUTIONS that can save your sorry hiney from Global Warming and Climate Change.
Sierra Club, The Natural Resource Defense Council and others are NOT 'Old Kids on the Block' that need repremanding; they are long established institutions in this country that demand respect. The problem here is as it alwsys was, 'DISRESPECT' because you can't see your own best interest right in front of your face.
The nature of Earth today is very sad indeed, Mr. Kristof. You might want to take stock of how long the planet might actually sustain itself to find if that will be the length of your potential longevity.
Alarming as that sounds.
GET OVER IT !!

Bush Job Approval Ratings Remain Unchanged
Haven't visited this site in a while.
George W. Bush's job approval ratings continue to remain unchanged from November according to the latest survey from the American Research Group. Among all Americans, 49% say they approve of the way Bush is handling his job and 45% disapprove. When it comes to Bush's handling of the economy, 42% of Americans say they approve and 51% say they disapprove.
Among Americans registered to vote, 49% approve of the way Bush is handling his job as president and 47% disapprove. As for Bush's handling of the economy, 43% of registered voters approve and 52% disapprove.
Compared to January, Americans are slightly less apt to say that the national economy is getting better (30% in February and 36% in January) and are slightly more apt to say their personal financial situations are getting worse (34% in February and 27% in January). The split based on Bush job approval remains among the responses to questions on the economy.
The results presented here are based on 1,100 completed telephone interviews conducted among a nationwide random sample of adults 18 years and older. The interviews were completed February 14 through 17, 2005. The theoretical margin of error for the total sample is plus or minus 2.6 percentage points, 95% of the time, on questions where opinion is evenly split.
Overall, 49% of Americans say that they approve of the way George W. Bush is handling his job as president, 45% disapprove, and 6% are undecided.
