US President Barack Obama has vowed to lead the world on climate change as he set about shredding Bush administration global warming policies with new domestic measures designed to force the development of fuel-efficient cars.
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton meanwhile picked a veteran of the Kyoto Protocol talks as her envoy for climate change, as the administration sent clear signals as world leaders target a historic global warming pact this year.
"We will make it clear to the world that America is ready to lead," Mr Obama said, in an apparent swipe at former president George W. Bush's reluctance to take control of international efforts to combat climate change.
"To protect our climate and our collective security, we must call together a truly global coalition," the president said, just six days after his inauguration, in a ceremony in the East Room of the White House.
Mr Obama signed memoranda designed to prod the struggling US auto industry to design new fuel-efficient vehicles to lessen US dependence on energy sources which he said bankroll dictators, and to spur the US economy.
"The days of Washington dragging its heels are over," Mr Obama said.
"My administration will not deny facts - we will be guided by them," Mr Obama said, in an apparent dig at Bush aides accused of subverting science for ideological reasons.

Barry, a great start would be to ban all government vehicles and make government employees commute using mass transit.
Yeah, see how that works out for you.
What idiots, P.T. Barnum had it right. Get rid of all the alphabet agencies and fairy tales and we mite have a chance for recovery.
Man made global warming. Ponzi redistribution of wealth scheme embraced by liberal mush-for-brains socialists.
FACTS? FACTS! If he was looking for the facts we wouldnt be leading would we? What an idiot.
Be careful Mr. O,your administration could also be remembered as a group of snot eating suckers.
This is your legacy.....
Nor will your administration look at the increasing scientific evidence that man made global warming is a hoax but will sacrifice the US economy on the altar of the global warming cult.
Takes one to know one.
There are no facts
LLS
No we are not screwed. Eventually and hopefully we will start putting down the remote controls and do something about it.
FACT: The Earth has been in a 10 year cooling trend. Are thy denying that?
All in an attempt to tax the masses....and play into the same mentality of the U.N. - in an attempt to tax the world’s masses.
