Speaking of Russians, a person that never comes up in the media with respect to the global warming issue is Mikhail Gorbachev, his Gorbachev Institute, The Gorbachev Foundation of North America, Green Cross International, or Global Green USA.
These organizations are all active in promoting sustainable this-and-that, green ecology, and global warming issues yet appear to work behind the scenes.
