Inhofe: NRDC A ‘Radical Environmental Organization’ | Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK) lashed out at President Obama’s pick of John Bryson to head Commerce: “[I]t is understandable that President Obama would select John Bryson as his nominee: he is a founder of a radical environmental organization and a member of a United Nations advisory group on climate change.” The Natural Resources Defense Council, co-founded 40 years ago by Bryson, has 1.3 million members, who support “radical” policies, such as limiting toxic chemicals in baby bottles. Its board of trustees include the top executives with The Gap, Warner Brothers, Sony Pictures, and Tishman Construction.
