Clinton to name CAP Senior Fellow Todd Stern as special envoy for climate change.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is expected to name Center for American Progress Senior Fellow Todd Stern as special envoy for climate change. In the Clinton administration, Stern was Assistant to the President and White House Staff Secretary. He coordinated the administration’s Initiative on Global Climate Change from 1997 to 1999, acting as the senior White House negotiator at the Kyoto and Buenos Aires negotiations. Stern is the co-author of a chapter in CAPAF’s Progressive Blueprint for the 44th President, in which he recommends creating a “new National Energy Council to drive the transformation to a low-carbon economy.” In 2007, with CAP’s John Podesta and Kit Batten, Stern also wrote a plan on how to create a low-carbon economy in the next administration.

Congratulations, Mr Stern! Make us proud!
January 26th, 2009 at 1:23 pmDamn! When will this administration stop appointing these qualified people to positions of trust and get back to the BushCo days of naming anyone that would parrot their views?
The nerve of Obama!!!!
January 26th, 2009 at 1:32 pmThat’s great news – it’ll be good to see another progressive on the Obama team.
Not to rain on the parade, but I do have a legal question. Are organizations like CAP considered lobbyists under the new White House ethics rules, or are advocacy organizations exempt?
January 26th, 2009 at 1:33 pmOh goodie. A climate related topic….Just for the fun of it can we get some nonscientist scientists over here.
January 26th, 2009 at 1:45 pmNo non-scientists yet, db, where could all the little trolls be? Probably because this doesn’t have a gay/lesbian meme to it.
January 26th, 2009 at 2:20 pmIf you’re interested, here’s a civil debate between skeptics and global warming proponents, with a lot of good comments on studies for and against.

As far as I know, these people aren’t funded by big oil, but I guess anything’s possible.
January 26th, 2009 at 2:26 pmOn a related clean energy note, this one has all the makings of an early fork in the road for Obama…

January 26th, 2009 at 3:34 pmSad commentary. Someone does something good and positive and the posts are minimal.
January 26th, 2009 at 3:42 pmYeah, but it sure is hot over at the “hate Fox News”, “hate Rush Limbaugh” and “hate Bill Kristol” threads. Same deal as last week, sad indeed.
January 26th, 2009 at 3:47 pmKeltoi,
Where have you been, busy posting your crapola at RedState?
And why aren’t you defending your BFFs anyway?
January 26th, 2009 at 4:35 pmFolks, just ignore backup. It is being willfully ignorant and will keep blathering on. It could care less about having a real discussion. It just wants to spray bullshit. Don’t waste your time.
