Climate change talk, with some focus on North Dakota. Friday, May 27, 2011. Tim Polluty and the GOP Climate Trasher Brigade. As part of his official 2012 presidential campaign rollout, Tim Polluty, er. Pawlenty, claimed he would be telling "hard truths".

But 20 years later they are distant from the limited efforts by George H W Bush. Even just ...
