Also I think putting Al Gore in charge of the EPA might not be as far fetched as one might initially think. It might be something Gore would actually want to do as it would give him enormous influence in shaping our country's policy on the environment.
Perhaps. Another possibility is that a President Obama might consider global warming to be a enough of a national priority that he would revamp the federal bureaucracy, re-arranging various agencies within a larger, new federal department (think of an environmental version of the Department of Homeland Security) that could more effectively meet the challenges posed by global warming, with a Sec. Al Gore at the top.
