U.S. environmental groups see Barack Obama’s presidential victory as a chance to undo the Bush legacy on global warming, and one idea they are discussing is the possibility of a White House “climate czar”.
Members of the environmental community in and around Washington say such a post could oversee various government agencies, including the Environmental Protection Agency and the Interior Department, to focus on tackling global warming and fostering clean energy to jump-start the flagging economy.
“For the first time, candidates and voters are really connecting the dots between energy, the environment and the economy,” said Cathy Duvall, Sierra Club’s political director. She said at a news briefing that Obama had made it clear that investing in cleaner energy would be a top priority in his plan for economic recovery.
One way to coordinate these interrelated issues would be to have one person in charge, based at the White House, according to sources in the environmental community familiar with the idea.

They said this could be part of a White House special council on energy and environment, analogous to the National Security Council. This kind of organization could be more effective than the Environmental Protection Agency has been under President George W. Bush, one source said.
Obama made clear in his acceptance speech on Tuesday that he sees climate change as a critical problem, along with the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the wilting economy.

Look at all this infotainment. All this dyer news about THE NWO! The END GAME is near. Right next to 9898794404 ads, subscriptions, films, and spam to make Alex Jones rich. Some revolutionary eh. He really wants to help and to save people. He wants you to know what “they” are really doing. He knows more than “they” do. Would’nt “they” have already silenced Alex Jones? Maybe Alex is “they”.
Oh whoa its the NWO! the CIA! the Mossad! Open your eyes sheeple! Poor Alex. Upset because he was laughed out of the republican party. He has resorted to fear mongering and selling 3rd rate infotainment to any kool-aid drinker who’ll listen. He is so terrified that since Obama has been elected that he won’t have that large base of fear to exploit for his own monetary gain. Lets see the end game was coming in 1999, then it was 2000, then it was 2004, 2006. But surely it will be in 2009! Or the next 1000 years maybe. Never ending conspiracy. First it was JFK, then the Branch Davidians, then Bilderberg, Bohemian Grove. Anybody else noticing a pattern? Obama just got elected and hes already a puppet of that evil NWO. He spent alot of time trying to build up a fellow republican from Texas. In the end he killed Dr.Paul’s chances. Just by being endorsed by Alex. It was much easier for MSM to laugh at him with Jones’ support and that of the InfoWarriors. Yes Alex is a card carrying Texas republican who deals in infotainment. Alex has even run for office in Texas. This is to news what professional wrestling is to sports. Stop making this quack rich. He is a text book fraud.
Question everything Alex Jones says. Question everything ANYONE says. Stop Following men and allow yourself to lead

WARNING WARNING I have done pertinent research on the culture of the mayan people located in south america(exclusively) they say that a global catyclsym will occur on december 21 2012…now nasa back in 1983 came out with a press release detailing their finding of a planet outside of our solar system..what nasa calls planet “x”, this outside planet rolls into our solar system just about every 3600 years according to mayan recordings..now the last global catyclsym is debatable..in fact this whole thing is debatable just like the intent of the alex jones radio show, we can never be sure, let me say that planet x or nibiru, has been seen at the telescope center at the south pole, if you dig into the research of global government then you can realize that the globalists know enough about the galactic nature of our solar system,the globalists know enough about the galactic nature of our solar system..again this is not hard to comprehend,the globalists know enough about the galactic nature of our solar system to institute a global government before or after this date, nibiru or planet x may or may not be the end of times, i can not speak further on the future after planet x arrives and then leaves, but you can do your research on this important subject just like you did when you found alex jones…good luck
