Harmful Gases Cross Major Atmospheric Threshold - - Wisc. DNR Information In Neutral

Greenhouse gas levels have reached an historic level, but what's the reaction at Wisconsin's DNR?

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Its webpage on Climate Change and the Great Lakes hasn't been updated since 2/27/2012.

Its webpage linking to a UW climate change initiative hasn't been updated since 6/18/2012.

Don't tell me, let me guess: the copy "EEK! -Global Warming is Hot Stuff!" was written by Cathi Stepp herself to further cute-n up the DNR. Maximum cuteness! Holla!

Because all of these green-house gases come from Wisconsin and are therefore the responsibility of the DNR?
