The problem is that Obama has people in his cabinet and placed around  him
like Van Jones, Rahm Emanuel and others who have stated in public that  they
see climate change as a means of wealth re-distribution. I am not  aware of 
any
actual experts, scientists etc in his cabinet, but wish he would put  some 
in there.
The unfortunate thing about putting someone in charge who has so little  
actual 
experience is that they don't have a wealth of knowledge on the big  
subjects and 
have to trust those around them entirely. They cannot make informed  
decisions. 
When you then fill your cabinet with friends from home as political payback 
 and don't
look for actual experts you are in trouble. When you put up Sanjay Gupta as 
 your top
choice to run health care in america because you have seen him on TV and he 
 seems
smart rather than an actual expert it is a warning sign. We have a cabinet  
of political 
power grabbers whispering in his ear, and he doesn't have the experience to 
 filter the
drivel from the truth. When you ask for 17 waivers of the policy against  
employing 
lobbyists in your white house in your first month, after promising no  
lobbyist contact
would occur, that is a warning sign. When Lobbyists are your experts on any 
 subject
you are in trouble. He needs to clean house and surround himself with  
ACTUAL 
scientists, doctors etc. without political motivations of their own.

No  Leslie, I think Obama has some pretty knowledgable persons in his  
cabinet
and as advisors who are onto the CO2 'problem' a little deeper than  this,
and are aware of what is occuring.  Whether he will listen and  act, or can,
remains to be seen. The measures that truly need be taken, I  am certain
myself, are way too miniscule to avoid what is already roaring  down the 
pike
made from our past chocies. Just enough is proffered to make  it appear that
something is being done.  Look at all the Oil Company  ads glorifing their
wonderful 'Green' measures. Nothing but propaganda to  prevent their spigots
from being turned off before they can drill, dig and  market as much as they
can before their inevitable doom falls as it  will.   Too bad, since there
are other good uses to be made of  their products other than burning  it.
