Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Monday will name Todd D. Stern, a trusted top aide in her husbands White House, to serve as a special envoy for climate change, Democratic officials said.
Climate was largely ignored by President George W. Bushs State Department, but the officials said Sterns appointment shows it will be a priority throughout President Barack Obamas 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 cant just fix it here. You have to fix it everywhere.

“Stern was staff secretary, a sensitive job that makes him the gatekeeper to every piece of paper the President sees and signs.”

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.

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.

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 Samuel Clemens statement that "Everybody talks about the weather but nobody does anything about it" is no longer valid.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.

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.
