Why is the science czar sending envoys to the Middle East?

John Holdren, Barack Obama's science czar, has more power than most people realize. Right now he's sending envoys to the Middle East.
The Office of Science and Technology Policy, headed up by Holdren, has been sending scientists to the Muslim world since Obama's suck-up speech in Cairo. Envoys so far have included a biochemistry professor and the head of the National Institutes of Health. There's nothing necessarily wrong with this. A global exchange of scientific ideas is always a good thing. But according to the press release, "[The envoys] will investigate opportunities in all areas of science and technology, including math, engineering, health, energy, climate change research, and green technologies."
We know Holdren is a crazed climate alarmist who predicted that the east coast might be flooded by 2020. We also know that Obama failed to work his magic and get a climate agreement in Copenhagen. What sort of back-door environmentalism is going on here?
