Are you kidding me, a climate czar? My #1 priority when obama gets in office is to expose this foolish hoax nationally, unite the nonbelievers and educate the brainwashed...We are getting screwed people. If they want to implement alternative sources of energy thats fine but dont tax the coal companies, oil companies and manufacturing plants because of global warming. Go to www.cagwh.com and see our plan to stop this HOAX.....

What ? Only a friggin idiot could even consider such a post, and I hope Obama is not that stupid !! Al Gore is a big fat clown, but even he knows he cannot part the oceans. He doesn't want to be accountable when a hurricane slams some poor idiots house on the Gulf ! He just wants to be able to blame someone else for it ! This whole concept makes "dumb and dumber" look like the chairs of MENSA. Somewhere, on a college campus somewhere, some young liberal, who just voted for the first time, is sitting in the Commons having a discussion now about who should be the Climate Czar. As Charley Brown would say .. "Aaaaarrrrrrggggggghhhhhh".

i think this is an important issues and it would even make sense to put someone in charge of a the issues. My biggest issues is with him saying this is his number one issue? Come on, really? There are bigger issues going on in our word? The liberal illuminati need to get things in order! Maybe you can make the case everything that is an issues comes back to oil but i am not sure make a cllimate czar your priority is the solution.

What climate crisis? What we may end up with is an energy crisis. We are not energy independent and we can't wait ten years or likely more for the green technology and infrastructure to catch up with our current much less future energy requirements. Also looming on the horizon is the potential for the only energy independent country in the world that can challenge U.S. primacy intimidating Europe and the U.S. In case people don't know it, Russia is not out of Georgia and has moved into Venezuela. What's the common thread? Try energy, in the form of controlling the BTC pipeline and confidence building for Chavez to cut off U.S. oil supplies. When Obama talks climate czar, he's talking about a carbon currency czar. This person will control the legislation that manages the taxes coming in on energy, i.e. the energy companies. That office will eventually become and ESG. Obama's czar will not be looking at alternative sources, he's going to oversee cap and trade. Al Gore doesn't want it, he has his own insurance business in global warming disasters.

I'm surprised big Al wouldn't be chopping at the bit to become the world's Father Nature. Belief and worship of the pollution gods is still a growing industry and we all know a high priest or priestess (I love being sexist.) is augured.

Wait, I thought signing the "Freedom of Choice Act" was his first priority! Doh! As for Al, his work ended after he received the Nobel Peace Prize, it's time to sit back and relax. Zzzzzzz....

Al doesn't want the job because it will help expose him as the fraud he is. Global Warming/Climate Change is nothing but a cult with a crock like Gore as it leader.

Gore said no because he'd have to make all sorts of embarrassing disclosures about his financial dealings. This would show how much he has invested in businesses that are profiting off of his fear mongering. Come on Al. You almost seem genuine to me sometimes. Put your money where your mouth is and take this position! You're getting a second chance to affect US climate policy from the inside. If it's as big of a crisis as you say it is, why would you not do this????? Now we see the truth, Al's own pocketbook is more important to him than "saving the planet!"

Superpower

Gore would have to give up his strangle-hold carbon credit stock scam holdings to become a government employee again. There's so many more millions for Gore to make in the private sector, this is the real reason why he's not interested.

Is Mr. Algore getting the message he might be wrong???

OwlCreekObserver

Mr. Gore is simply too unstable to head up much of anything. He never recovered emotionally from his failure to steal the 2000 election.

Skeptical

I agree with Jeeper 100%. Algore does not want to be exposed as the fraud that he is.

gore did his "Party-duty" - he eventually "endorsed?" obama. if Gore was fired up about obama it wouldnt have taken him so long to endorse. THAT IN ITSELF IS A MESSAGE. GORE will never serve under obama. Obama does not have the respect of Al Gore.

ALGORE is too busy trying to make money off the man-made global warming hoax he and his business partners are perpetuating to bother with some low-profile, low-pay government job!

Buzzer

We make a super efficient engine and made the mistake of trying to get funding out of Al Gore's group. After we were rudely shown the door, one of the interns told us that the focus wasn't on energy efficiency or helping the auto industry, but on the carbon credit aspects.

Question of the day

White House officials and Senate Democrats met in private three times last week to craft health care legislation. Do you think these discussions should be more public?
