In an October 1 editorial, the Washington Times used Osama bin Laden's recent comments about climate change to tie him to progressives and the Obama administration. From the Times' editorial:

Like many global-warming alarmists, bin Laden is cynically exploiting natural disasters to further his anti-Western, leftist agenda. The terrorist's approach is similar to the current faddish notion of “global climate disruption” being pushed by President Obama's science adviser John P. Holdren. In this respect, bin Laden would fit right in at Democratic policy-making sessions. Al Qaeda's leader is no newcomer to the global-warming craze. “Discussing climate change is not an intellectual luxury, but a reality,” bin Laden said in January. “All of the industrialized countries, especially the big ones, bear responsibility for the global-warming crisis.” That line easily could have been written by Al Gore.

[...]

Bin Laden may not be dropping “Islam First!” for “Earth First!” but he is setting a good example of the low-carbon-footprint life by living in a cave. It's doubtful that he can reinvent himself as an environmental activist, but at least he's consistent in his dedication to losing causes.
