WALLINGFORD, Pa. (AP) — Democrat Barack Obama said Wednesday he talks regularly with former vice president Al Gore and would consider putting him in a Cabinet-level position or higher.Update: A related link is here. The post points out Gore's staunch support for ethanol, as evidenced here. Also see this post, entitled "Al Gore Saved the Ethanol".
A woman at a town hall asked the Illinois senator if elected president would he consider tapping the former vice president for his Cabinet, or an even higher level office, to address global warming.
"I would," Obama said. "Not only will I, but I will make a commitment that Al Gore will be at the table and play a central part in us figuring out how we solve this problem. He's somebody I talk to on a regular basis. I'm already consulting with him in terms of these issues, but climate change is real. It is something we have to deal with now, not 10 years from now, not 20 years from now."

Going to need a really big table to hold the weight. I wonder if this means Al Gore will debate instead of hiding?
"... climate change is real ..."
I always laugh at moronic statements like this. Newsflash Barack! Everyone knows that climate change is real. Now whether humans are in any way affecting it is a different issue.
Actually, according to many articles linked from this site, it's not even clear that "climate change" of the sort envisioned by Gore is happening. The oceans have cooled over the last ten years.
