A Quick Comparison of Each Presidential Candidate's
Record and Plan for Global Warming*
| The climate crisis will be the biggest challenge facing the next president. But the top Sunday hosts don’t seem to think so. In 2007, they have asked: 2484 Questions 3 mentioned global warming View the video and sign the petition to tell the reporters to focus on the human race, not the horse race. The information shown on this page has been extracted from verbose statements on Energy Reform, Global Warming, and Dependence on Foreign Oil from each candidate. I have done my best to include only specific action items and plans while ignoring the typical campaign rhetoric. I have also included the complete unedited statements from the candidates should you wish to read the comments in their entirety. Voting records were obtained from Senate and House Roll Calls or candidate campaign sites.
