Todd Stern, now the State Department’s special envoy for climate change, once pushed for the creation of an annual “E8” summit to address environmental issues.

As the administration’s point man climate issues, Stern represents the United States in international environmental negotiations. One of his biggest upcoming negotiations will be the annual United Nations Conference on Climate Change, which will take place in Copenhagen this December.

As CNSNews reported in April, delegates to the Copenhagen conference will be negotiating a new global climate change treaty. Stern, a veteran of the Clinton administration, was also the U.S. negotiator at the conference in Kyoto, Japan in 1997 that generated the Kyoto Protocol, which first called for “stabilizing” greenhouse gas emissions.

If anyone came out at about this time last year, and predicted that close advisers to the President would be coming out with some of the ideas that have been coming out, that person would be denounced as a paranoid lunatic.
