CHICAGO (AFP) – President-elect Barack Obama was set Monday to name his energy and environmental chiefs and vow a new dawn for US leadership against climate change after eight years of Republican "denial."
After talks with his national security team, Obama was to name more cabinet lieutenants at a news conference where he was also facing questions over Illinois's scandal-hit governor.
Obama's transition team said the press conference in Chicago would "discuss the nation's energy and environmental future."
Obama was reportedly to nominate Nobel Prize-winning physicist Steven Chu as his energy secretary, placing the expert in renewable energy on the frontlines of climate change policy.
Joining Chu in Obama's new team was expected to be Lisa Jackson, chief of staff to the New Jersey governor, as head of the Environmental Protection Agency.
Obama was further to announce that Carol Browner, who served as EPA administrator under president Bill Clinton, would become the White House "climate czar" overseeing the battle against global warming.
And Nancy Sutley, a senior adviser to Obama's transition team, was expected to be named chairwoman of the White House Council on Environmental Quality.
Last week, after a meeting with former vice president Al Gore, Obama said the "time for denial is over" on climate change.

It’s freaking cold everywhere! I mean, isn’t it at least open for discussion if it’s true or not?
Gee ain't this grand! Wonder if Fitz has any tapes that expose this deal? Jersy and Chi-Town great places to recruit his Cabinet from!
This morning on Drudge, there was a similar article about the crisis that O was facing to stop global warming. I thought it would be tongue in cheek, but no, they were serious. Below that article was the headline: record cold in Denver, below that record breaking sub zero temps in Montana, below that an article about the ice storm in the east. Yep, global warming is top concern...except to those of us trying to keep warm.
The more he makes Americans believe that the world (or the economy) is in crisis, the greater likelihood that we will permit him to re-make our economy along Socialist principals and abide by mandates from supergovernmental organizations.
By making showy moves in the first 100 days, they can take credit for nipping it in the bud and stopping it in its tracks...
and then they can declare victory over global warming as one of the cornerstones of the Messiah’s first term...
The Seven Dwarfs?
“I’ll take the ‘O’ shaped ‘One’.”
‘after eight years of Republican “denial.”’
How about that 95 to 0 vote in the Senate Zero? Kyoto sucked, and everyone with a functioning brain knew it.
Climate Change? What happened to Global Warming?
I suggest that the One Messiah blow out the sun.
Or blow it out his arse, whichever he is actually capable of accomplishing.

The indoctrination is going to get worse.

Any kind of climate change is bad. And it's all our fault for burning fossil fuels and we have to stop.

This is how ridiculous the Enviroweenies have become. But they will be running our energy policy now in the new administration.
As of January 21st Beer, soda, champagne will not be allowed to contain CO2. Fire extinguishers,refridgerents and aerosols will have until July 4th (formerly Independence Day)to remove Carbon Dioxide.
Hyperventilation will become a felony offense and all animals will be required to wear meters to measure CO2 and other gases (cows will be mandated meters at both ends).
These actions will remove enough CO2 to allow night time temperatures to drop to 0ºF world wide and the polar ice caps will grow to levels never before seen on this planet.One unavoidable consequence of this is Polar Bears will cease to exist as all the seals will be forced to move to the equator.
There goes HUFFPO, DU, KOS and NORML.
Whoopee.
I can hardly wait for THIS dose of idiocy to hit.
I’m all atwitter.
Yay.
I'm not sayin, I'm just sayin’...
Check out Wyoming. Cody, WY is at minus 8 last I saw this morning. Going to a HIGH of minus 4 today, and minus 18 tonight. Lots of minus something in their highs and lows all week. Even WA state is in the deep freeze of global climate warming change, or whatever the hell they are calling it today!
