In light of U.S. Fish and Wildlife’s decision not to Endangered Species Act-list the yellow-bellied loon, three upcoming decisions Interior Secretary Ken Salazar faces – three decisions whether or not to overrule old BushCo decisions – will complete the picture as to just how much of a squish, or worse, he is on environmental affairs.
The loon? No surprise. Salazar isn’t totally in the pocket of Big Oil, but he’s on better-than-casual speaking terms.
The biggie, anyway, is whether or not environmental groups will be allowed to use the ESA to force action on global warming. While the polar bear is one of the “trophy” type species for Gang Green-type environmental groups, an animal like the pika is just as threatened if not more so.
Anyway, stay tuned on Salazar.
