Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Monday will name Todd D. Stern, a trusted top aide in her husband’s White House, to serve as a special envoy for climate change, Democratic officials said.

Climate was largely ignored by President George W. Bush’s State Department, but the officials said Stern’s appointment shows it will be a priority throughout President Barack Obama’s administration.

Stern was staff secretary, a sensitive job that makes him the gatekeeper to every piece of paper the President sees and signs. Also for Clinton, he was senior White House negotiator at the Kyoto and Buenos Aires climate negotiations.

So Stern is an authority on the issue, knows the inner workings of the White House and has a close relationship with the secretary of State.

“This is another indication that President Obama is taking the issue of climate crisis seriously across the administration,” one official said. “This is a global problem. You can’t just fix it here. You have to fix it everywhere.”

“This is another indication that President Obama is taking the issue of climate crisis seriously across the administration,” one official said. “This is a global problem. You can’t just fix it here. You have to fix it everywhere.”

This is another indication that BO is seeking to use every office to politicize science and diminish the security of this nation from foreign threats.

If we can't "just fix Global Warming here", then the whole notion of Carbon Credits is a lie. But that is heresy.

Is the State Dept going to start issuing weather reports?

[IbJensen]

At first glance I thought the article was saying that Hitlery had named a ‘Climax Czar.’

[EDINVA]

Gawd, the whole damned Clinton Administration is back in power. I think if we’re gonna have change, I would just as soon see the Chicago thugs.

[ClearCase_guy]

Are we going to get a Loch Ness Monster czar as well?

It's a hoax! We know it! Pursuing this is just embarassing.

Has she appointed a special envoy to the Sun? Perhaps s/he can talk the Sun out of warming our climate.

[dblshot]

Glad to see the Secretaty of State doesn’t have any real important issues to deal with like war and peace, genocide, etc.

[KevinDavis]

Since when does a Secretary of anything has the power to create a “Czar” position?? What next???

[RetiredArmy]

So, Queen Hillary names the climate czar??? Does that now make her MOTHER NATURE??????

Todd D. Stern, a trusted top aide in her husband's White House, to serve as a special envoy for climate change

GW hoax ping.

[steelyourfaith]

Thanx !

 

Beam me to Planet Gore !

[fella]

special envoy for climate change

So our Department of State now had an official weatherman? Samuel Clemens statement that "Everybody talks about the weather but nobody does anything about it" is no longer valid. Of course what's being done about the weather is entirely nuts and won't work but who cares as long as the tax payers are held down and the rulers are enriched.

Global warming is so 90’s....

[StAnDeliver]

No.

She noms a D-lister stink tanker? When she could have had any number of high-vis DC global swarming junk scientitians? They'll trot out this moron for the nutroots twice a year...

[SERKIT]

It is confirmed. “Climate Change” (the catch-all for warming-cooling-polution) is no longer a science project, it is a geo-political project, not based in fact, but based on bullying, extortion, and emotion.

[beethovenfan]

So does this guy know anything about climate?...I thought not.
