Barack Obama is going to be the next president, but as some predicted, that doesn’t mean things are going to get easy:

Even as we begin to learn the full scope of Bush’s attacks on the environment, we find out that Dubya is looking to force through rule changes before he leaves office that would gut the Endangered Species Act and protections against pollution. Obama has said he would reverse many of these as soon as he takes office, but will it be in time?

Meanwhile, the Supreme Court has ruled that the Navy’s interests override the health and welfare of whales and dolphins, even as more evidence comes to light about the damaging effect of human-created noise on marine mammals.

America, we’ve got a long way to go.
