Please take a couple minutes to watch this video clip that was put together by the Sierra Club.
If you are looking at this then you probably care deeply about America’s energy future and the challenges posed by Global Warming. As we prepare to elect our next president, I think this is one of the most important issues.
So why have our candidates not been asked questions about climate change from the political reporters?
As found in a letter by the Sierra Club, the world’s scientific community has determined that global warming is a human-caused crisis that threatens our children’s future, our economic prosperity, basic security and the environmental stability of our planet.
As for urgency, the Chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has stated: “What we do in the next two or three years will determine our future.”
So how can it be that out of 2,679 questions asked of the candidates since January 2007 by the national press, only three questions have mentioned global warming? Instead, hosts like Tim Russert, George Stephanopoulos, and Wolf Blitzer have asked ridiculous questions about UFOs, baseball, and even Chuck Norris!
Is it just me, or is that nuts? Watch this video to see for yourself how the media have let us down and then urge these hosts to stop covering the horse race and get back to the human race.
Global warming needs to be a priority issue in this election. Act today to make that happen.
