Nov 2015

Carol Browner - Chair of League ..... A good environmentalist, but not exactly unbiased. Clinton Crony. Member of Clinton and Obama administrations....Center for American Progress

Obama's director of the White House Office of Energy and Climate Change Policy in the Obama administration from 2009 to 2011. Browner previously served as Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) during the Clinton administration from 1993 to 2001.

In the 2008 presidential election, she was a strong supporter of Hillary Rodham Clinton's bid for the Democratic nomination.[8] After Clinton lost her bid, Browner campaigned for Barack Obama in several battleground states and in League of Conservation Voters events.[8]

After the Clinton administration, Browner became a founding member of the Albright Group, a "global strategy group" headed by former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright.

But...
Until summer 2008 she was a member of Socialist International's Commission for a Sustainable World Society,[61][62][63] although the commission's web site still had her listed as a member in January 2009.
