As the article correctly notes, Obama's position on global warming is far better than what we have seen so far, but not yet good enough. Nevertheless, his picks - particularly Chu - give us cause for guarded optimism.

We will see improvement for sure under Obama's administration. But if we are to see the amount of improvement that is required, then we must all work hard to make the new President and his people know exactly what has to be done.
