   I really enjoy reading your blog, it always has great insight. But I am very frustrated with the media’s lack of questions to the presidential candidates about global warming.

   The Daily Green just put an article out talking about how the presidential candidates are not being asked where they stand on the issue of the climate change – this is surprising to me considering its such a MAJOR concern to people. I just saw a poll on http://www.EarthLab.com that says people care a lot what their next leader thinks about global warming (after you take it they show you the results). Does anyone know of another poll or other results about this subject?

   If not, go to http://www.earthlab.com/life.aspx and take their poll to see which way the results go. This is a pretty legit website; they are endorsed by Al Gore and the alliance for climate protection and they have a carbon footprint calculator. No matter which political party you vote for this is an important issue for our environment, our economy and for homeland security.

   I certainly agree with you on the issue of global warming. Although we are heading in the right direction, I’m afraid a movement to change the conventional thought process in Washington will be seen only on a gradual scale.

   As the national politics drift back toward the left, I think this type of discussion will become more relevant and and generally accepted among the population.

   Who knows, perhaps the next administration will help usher in an energy independent agenda and play a more urgent leadership role. From the way things look heading into 2008, we are surely due for a moderate or left leaning President.
