Comments on: Obama Cites Global Warming, Renewable Energy as Top Priorities http://earthfirst.com/obama-cites-global-warming-renewable-energy-as-top-priorities/ A Sharp Eye -- With a Green Edge Tue, 17 Nov 2009 13:33:14 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Jake Schmidt, NRDC http://earthfirst.com/obama-cites-global-warming-renewable-energy-as-top-priorities/comment-page-1/#comment-4993 Jake Schmidt, NRDC Tue, 25 Nov 2008 19:10:46 +0000 http://earthfirst.com/?p=2784#comment-4993 Restoring America's leadership on global warming is no easy task. US leadership has been lost over a sustained period as the current Administration has failed to make progress on global warming. (Sadly this is time we don't have.)

President-elect Obama has already signaled that he will Restore American Leadership on Global Warming. So, what more does he have to do? Well, a coalition of groups -- including the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) -- has just released a detailed plan Transition to Green which outlines actions for the new Administration and Congress on environmental issues. For more details on the recommendations for key elements of the international climate debate, see my new post: http://switchboard.nrdc.org/blogs/jschmidt/actions_to_restore_leadership_on_global_warming.html.
