WASHINGTON — President-elect Barack Obama has selected a deputy mayor of Los Angeles to lead the White House Council on Environmental Quality, transition officials said Wednesday.

Nancy Sutley is the first prominent member of the gay and lesbian community to earn a senior role in the Democrat's new administration.

With many of his top White House and Cabinet posts filled, Obama now is focusing on fleshing out his natural resources and environment team, and could formally introduce his choices for interior secretary, energy secretary and environmental protection agency chief within weeks if not days.

Two transition officials disclosed Sutley's selection on the condition of anonymity because Obama had not yet made the announcement.

1. What I loved was that he met with Al Gore before announcing

the appointments linked to the environment.

2. And then there's this from the "it ain't warming until the sea covers my nose" bunch

UN Blowback: More Than 650 International Scientists Dissent Over Man-Made Global Warming Claims

This is from the "Inhofe EPW Press Blog."

I didn't know Bob Jones and Liberty University had so many scientists. They must be counting homeschool teachers.
Inhofe is such a mountain of intellectual and scientific wisdom.:sarcasm:

3. Aside from the fact that a lot of these scientists are not in the field

of weather and climatology, I remember last time a list like this came out...there were many on the list who later claimed they had never actually signed onto the list.

This is such a waste of time, energy, money and effort. I guess the first step would be to find out exactly who fund the studies that each of these "Scientists' do.
