Iowa's freezing, but the globe is warming and so I find myself in Iowa for the "First in the Nation" Presidential Caucuses, to help promote global warming as a presidential issue. I'll be reporting my thoughts here periodically over the next 48 hours, so if you care what a wildlife-loving, political junkie like myself thinks about the Iowa Circus (ahem, Caucus), check back frequently.

Right now, I'm typing away in the Press Center of the Iowa convention center.  I'm about 50 feet from Ed Schultz's Radio Show.  In the past hour, he's interviewed Sam Donaldson and Pat Buchanan, he's currently talking with Presidential Candidate - and internet sensation - Ron Paul.  Within the next 24 hours, 2500 credentialed press members will show up here.

But why I am here?  Well, becuase global warming has become an issue in these caucuses.  But don't take my word for it, check out the Des Moines Register.

Stay tuned, reports on NPR issue forum, John Mellencamp for John Edwards Rally and, of course, the caucus itself, forthcoming.
