Despite the Obama/Gore meeting at "Mount Olympus" almost getting lost in the media din over Blag (was there a burning bush nearby?)...

Obama meets Gore on climate change, but things are still bad
As previewed on The Ticket earlier, former Vice President Al Gore met with incoming President Barack Obama today in what's become the Midwestern White House-designate, a federal building in downtown Chicago.
They talked about climate change (it's still changing), the transition (it's still transitioning) and how to develop green jobs as part of an economic stimulus plan (still much to do). But no details yet. This was for the cameras.
Also, no word from either man about a job or assignment for the ex-senator from Tennessee in the administration of the ex-senator from Illinois.
But here's a news video with what Obama had to say about the meeting and its import, with an opening aside trying to salvage the day's media message about the arrest this morning of his homestate's Democratic Gov. Rod Blagojevich on corruption charges, surrounding the alleged sale of the governor's nomination to fill Obama's vacant Senate seat.

You knew nothing good would come from this...
...and today's news is the inevitable result...
| Quote: | Here Comes the Left [Iain Murray]
We have been working on the assumption that the President-elect would give the left positions relating to the environment, labor, health and so on. That seems to be the case as it now appears that former EPA administrator and Al Gore acolyte Carol Browner will be the energy/climate czar and that Los Angeles Deputy Mayor and LGBT activist Nancy Sutley will head the President's Council on Environmental Quality. It's going to be a long four years...

Sen. Jim Inhofe has already weighed in on Miss Browner...
| Quote: | Senator Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma, the senior Republican on the Environment and Public Works Committee, wasted no time yesterday in criticizing Browner, who headed the EPA from 1993 to 2001, making her the longest-serving administrator in the agency’s history.
“She is a proud liberal who has long advocated an environmentalist agenda that would drive up energy costs on families and put thousands of Americans out of jobs,” said Inhofe, who has previously called the idea that humans are contributing to global warming a “hoax.”

...and, from the same article, yet more bad news...
| Quote: | Obama Said to Pick Nobel Laureate Chu to Head Energy Department
By Kim Chipman and Jim Efstathiou Jr.
Dec. 11 (Bloomberg) -- Nobel laureate Steve Chu is Barack Obama’s choice to head the Department of Energy as the president-elect rounds out his energy and environmental team, a person close to the transition said.
The president-elect will name Chu, director of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, as the country’s 12th energy secretary. The announcement, along with other key energy and environmental posts, will be made next week, Democratic aides said.

Since taking over as director of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in August 2004, Chu has pushed the scientists there to focus on climate change and on developing new carbon-neutral sources of energy, said Robert J. Birgeneau, the chancellor of the University of California, Berkeley.
“He has been relentless about addressing the technical challenges of renewable energy in a deep way,” said Birgeneau, who has known Chu for three decades since the two men worked at Bell Laboratories in the 1970s.
Lynn Yarris, a spokeswoman for Chu, declined to comment.
Chu played a leading role in Berkeley being selected by BP Plc as the home of a $500 million research program to develop a new generation of renewable fuels. Berkeley Labs is funded by the Energy Department.

"Global Warmism" is about to be institutionalized and there will be hell to pay ever getting rid of it.
If I might steal a line from Eisenhower, beware the environmental/industrial complex. |
