Following my post the other day about the lack of fire from the candidates over Global Warming I got an informative comment from a friend at the Carbon Coalition in New Hampshire. They’ve been doing dogged work to get the issue in front of the public and the candidates. These are the benchmarks the Coalition suggests for the candidates.
1) Legislation for economy-wide emissions reductions
2) Aggressive R&D for low-carbon energy technology
3) Federal planning for climate change impacts and
response
4) Picking the right team to carry the initiative
5) Cooperation with international partners
6) Reallocation of budget priorities
7) Enable/encourage citizens to build efficiency and
conservation in their homes and communities
See how the candidates measure up.
