Accomplished and outspoken, theyre likely to tackle climate change head-on.
Call it the green team or the dream team. Either way, President-elect Barack Obamas choices to fill top science and environment-related posts in his new administration represent a remarkable assembly of talent.
With his picks well in hand, Mr. Obama is positioned to reverse what many see as eight years of sluggish action in the US and internationally on global warming. The picks also boost the prospects for wider use and further development of alternative energy sources. And the nominees particularly those who come directly out of the science community are expected to be strong advocates for erasing political interference with government research.
Many groups have sent the transition team a list of actions Obama could take to achieve the goals during the first 100 days, most of which could be accomplished by executive order.
In terms of appointing top scientists to key agency positions, we havent seen the caliber of scientists were seeing now, says Joshua Reichert, managing director of the Pew Environment Group. Probably more important, we havent seen such highly respected scientists who also have been outspoken conservation advocates.

We’re sooooo screwed Ping!
Crackpots pushing crackpot science.
Science advisor Holdren is best known for three papers about the “population bomb”. The rest of what he has done in his career, other than propagandize human effects on planet earth, is zilch.
Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Clause.
Obama’s got a team of Pointy-Headed Intellectuals working on the Global Warming thing. That’s comforting.
And Zero’s Santa Clause will bring us hell on earth.
Pure propaganda in this piece.
When Prez Obama makes his first official overseas excursion, to get there, will he part the sea or walk on water?
The team can be described utilizing the plural of a seven-letter word that begins with “A”...but that word is NOT “Allstar”.
Laughable. They will be working themselves out of a job since that Chu guy wants to raise gas to $7/gallon just like they have it over in wonderful socialist Western Europe. Y’all watch what that means for mid term elections not to mention the next presidential election. Ha ha ha. Bring it ON, as Rush likes to say.
NO to Global Warming in your village, town, city, and state. NO to these politicians who want to tax you even more for this ruse.
They need to get those EO’s issued quickly, to drive up the cost of producing and using energy, before the evidence of global cooling becomes too obvious to ignore
In the next several years staying warm at zerO-inflated costs will eat up a lot of the middle class budget, while subsidies are provided from “global warming” funds to keep the poor warm and alive
welcome to the cuckoo’s nest aka planet Gore
This crackpot is part of the Paul Erlich crowd - which has been wrong about every crackpot theory and prediction for 30+ years. We are so screwed.
Yeah, a talent that will destroy American economics and drive American busisnesses overseas and more American citizens into bankruptcy with their green tax and spend and tax and spend and tax and spend green policies and the stupid of America will applaud as the golden goose is stabbed by the stupid communists the stupid left has elected.
Stupid is as stupid does and four years of stupid does is on the way!

A second-rate scientist whoring himself to politics to gain the advancement he would not achieve in his degreed field.
Get ready for a miserable, Soviet-style existence in the U.S.
