[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 1078861, member: 1246"] Priorities are whacked!!!! Brilliant, let’s focus on a figment of Al Gore’s imagination instead of trying to get the economy back on track. Via [URL="http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2013/jan/09/barack-obama-climate-summit"]Guardian[/URL]: [INDENT]Barack Obama may intervene directly on climate change by hosting a summit at the White House early in his second term, environmental groups say. They say the White House has given encouraging signals to a proposal for Obama to use the broad-based and bipartisan summit to launch a national climate action strategy. “What we talked about with the White House is using it as catalyst not just for the development of a national strategy but for mobilising people all over the country at every level,” said Bob Doppelt, executive director of the Resource Innovation Group, the Oregon-based thinktank that has been pushing for the high-level meeting. He said it would not be a one-off event. “What I think has excited the White House is that it does put the president in a leadership role, but it is not aimed at what Congress can do, or what he can do [I]per se[/I], so much as it is aimed at apprising the American public about how they can act.” Campaign groups and major donors have been pushing Obama to outline a strategy on climate change, in the wake of his re-election and superstorm Sandy. [...] Doppelt said he has had a number of exchanges with White House staff about the summit, and he believed the proposal was under “very serious consideration”. The White House would not respond to requests for comment. [/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
