Amanda Griscom Little suggests a radical thing in her column today:

At a time when you might expect green leaders to launch a unified, large-scale campaign on climate change -- a march on Washington, say, or a nationwide media blitz denouncing Bush's withdrawal from Kyoto, or a forward-looking climate strategy endorsed by all -- the responses from Capitol Hill activists are surprisingly scattered and narrow in scope.

A march on Washington? For the environment? When's the bus leaving? I'm on it. Who's going to do it? I'm a journalist; I can't arrange these things. But I'd pledge to recruit 100 people.

Other celebrations of Kyoto: Warren Olney's show on Kyoto and climate change was excellent, with some guy claiming British Petroleum started out controlling emissions begrudgingly, until they found out that it was actually cheaper. Listen to the show for the exact math on that.

Me, I'm going to hear Al Gore speak tonight at the behest of the NRDC. I'm looking forward to it. Last time I saw him, at another one of these environmental elite events, he looked really healthy.
