Todd Stern to Have Key Role in Copenhagen. By Frances Romero, Time, January 27, 2009. "Many see [Todd Stern's] appointment [as Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's climate change envoy] as further evidence that the Obama Administration is serious about addressing the issue of climate change... [In May 2004 he said on behalf of the Center for American Progress,] 'Evaporation and rainfall are increasing; glaciers are retreating; sea ice is shrinking; sea level is rising; permafrost is melting; wildfires are increasing; storm and flood damage is soaring. The canary in the coal mine is singing for all she's worth'... Stern, a longtime friend and adviser to both Hillary and former President Bill Clinton, has held positions in government and in private law practices where he has advised on issues ranging from global warming to anti-money laundering methods... He was the senior White House negotiator at the Kyoto Protocol negotiations."
