"To protect our climate and our collective security, we must call together a truly global coalition... My administration will not deny facts -- we will be guided by them." - President Barack Obama, January 26, 2009. U.S. President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton took significant steps toward making global warming a top priority in less than one week in office. What would you like to see the Obama administration do next in regards to environmental policy? How should Obama "green" the economic stimulus package?
