Presidential campaigns are always semi-improvisational -- they can't just rely on position papers, and must respond to changes in the world. But this goes well beyond semi.

Everyone wants to know the number of new jobs that will result from a move to an advanced energy economy. My pat answer is, "It's likely to be a very big number, but no one can possibly quantify it."

We can start today by focusing on energy, by working to use less of it, and by demanding that carbon be taxed at a level commensurate with the damage it causes. Less-Dependence for All.

By the way, that U.S. economy of ours, safely protected from those big bad ruinous carbon limits -- how's it been performing lately?
RJ Eskow | Posted 06.13.2008 | Politics
McCain will either give us more of the same disastrous policies, or create a "climate tax" of his own -- one that's less effective in reducing emissions and easier on the big polluters.

King Fossil Fuel has ruled: there will be no Senate debate on global warming this year. And Joe Lieberman's greenwashed campaign gift for John McCain is a no-go.

The Lieberman-Warner bill failed because what is missing is political will in Congress to stand up to the powerful energy companies and their well-paid lobbyists.
Rep. Ed Markey | Posted 06.06.2008 | Green

Governor Schwarzenegger is "determined to terminate global warming." A Green Arnold - so, does that make him, like, the Incredible Hulk?

John McCain urges free-market principles to reduce global warming. Which "free-market principles" does McCain mean?
David Roberts | Posted 05.12.2008 | Politics
A McCain presidency will mean real action on climate change, not the shell game Bush is engaged in. But he's still behind the curve.
Joseph Romm | Posted 05.12.2008 | Politics
McCain announced his climate plan today at a Danish wind turbine company in Oregon -- ironic because like so many conservatives before him, he has worked hard to kill off the domestic wind industry.

Truly dealing with global warming requires making clean energy as cheap as possible, as quickly as possible, to counteract the multi-million dollar ad campaign the fossil fuel lobby is gearing up for.

You can be a Weekend Watchdog and help suggest questions to the Sunday talk shows. If we want our media to ask relevant questions to our politicians, we need to speak up.

You are either in the Bush/Big Oil voluntarism camp or you are not. What is McCain trying to say?

While he would be vastly superior to Bush on climate, a President McCain would not be the climate leader that America and the world requires.
