Obama--the more CO2-phobic candidate

Political Affairs Magazine - Obama – The Greener Candidate

The life of the planet and of humans are at stake in the very near future because of the global climate crisis, putting this question, by necessity, at or near the top of any list of priorities for the country.

In recent weeks, John McCain has attempted to appeal to moderate voters by talking about the issue, but has undermined his own positions by calling for new offshore and ANWR oil drilling, refusing to make caps on carbon emissions mandatory, and in his voluntary cap program, targets emissions cuts far below what scientists tell us are needed to turn the tide against climate change. McCain is also weak on promoting investment in safe renewable alternative energy resources.

Obama's greater CO2-phobia just may cost him the presidency.
