US will lead on climate change - Obama

From correspondents in Washington

Agence France-Presse

January 27, 2009 05:05am

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.

"My administration will not deny facts - we will be guided by them,"

He left out "EVEN IF WE HAVE TO MAKE THEM UP."

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.

"My administration will not deny facts..."

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.

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.
