Is It Getting Warmer?

Alternative Energy Action Network - August 2, 2007

This is a compilation of various global warming positions and suggestions from 4 US presidential candidates on global warming. I wish that the author had done this much work on the other 14 declared candidates for either the Democratic or Republican ticket but that does not diminish the good work that he did!

Another site keeps track of positions of all 18 candidates and their position on a variety of issues, so you may want to check it out as well at Candidate Positions and its treatment of global warming.  The difference is that the Alternative Energy Action Network appears to go into much greater detail on a variety of sub-issues.

I don’t want to put the entire table here in this post so I will only include the first few rows.  Please take a look at the original article so that you can see the entire coverage (I am confident that it will be interesting to you).
