Clinton Says She Would Embrace Climate, Arms Treaties. By Farah Stockman, BostGlobe, January 14, 2009. "Senator Hillary Clinton pledged yesterday that as secretary of state she would revitalize US leadership by embracing a host of treaties on arms control and climate change that the Bush administration has been reluctant to endorse... Clinton said during her confirmation hearing that President-elect Barack Obama would appoint a negotiator to international efforts to halt global climate change. 'The best way to advance America's interests in reducing global threats and seizing global opportunities is to design and implement global solutions,' Clinton said in her opening remarks. 'That isn't a philosophical point. This is our reality'... Massachusetts Democrat John Kerry, who made his debut yesterday as chair of the committee -- a position recently relinquished by Vice President-elect Joe Biden -- warmly welcomed Clinton's pledges to take climate change seriously and made his own impassioned plea for US participation in international efforts."
