In the press release launching the Greenwatch site in the fall of 2001, Rep. Butch Otter (R-ID), called the groups included in the Greenwatch database "extremists," and declared the purpose of the database was to "monitor and keep the extremists in check."

[edit] Key Quotes

[edit] February 21st, 2006

“The Pew Center on Global Climate Change recently released its agenda to combat so-called global warming in a report entitled 'Agenda for Climate Action.' Like most left-wing environmentalists’ call to arms, it is a mish mash of bad science and economics....The report also states that, 'Federal policies and R&D funding should support the use of ethanol and biodiesel today, and drive toward more advanced uses of biomass in the future.' Such policies amount to throwing more money down the sinkhole.”
