Hilary’s new Climate Envoy
Can Hillary's New Climate Envoy Move Beyond Kyoto?. Yesterday, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton picked Todd Stern as her special envoy for climate change... Stern recently wrote a Washington Quarterly essaywith William Antholis about how it's time to get beyond Kyoto:"This is no time to indulge in orthodoxies or in the kind of overextended discussion that marked too much of the six-year Kyoto Protocol negotiation. As the United Kingdom’s climate envoy, John Ashton, said recently, "We now need to stop talking about talking and start deciding about doing." The next president should approach this issue the way President Franklin Roosevelt approached the Great Depression: in a spirit of restless experimentation."
