You won't find any "green" tributes to the father of the "green revolution." That's a shame, but not surprising. What's shocking are many of the comments from so-called progressives at the Huffington post. One disgusted reader scanning the mass display of moronic ignorance nails it:

Environmentalists attacking Borlaug's work are like creationists attacking Darwin's work, substituting their religion for scientific reality.

In remembrance, Ronald Baily re-posts an interview he did with Borlaug in 2000. For signs of intelligence about Borlaug's achievements, see many of the comments posted at the NY Times obit.
