We deserve a President who stands with us on the central environmental issue of this election: global warming. That is especially true in the wake of the Bush administration's actions to deny states a waiver to follow California's tough global warming standards.

Following up on last week's post, the California League of Conservation Voters (CLCV) has compiled all of the presidential candidates' positions on California's landmark global warming strategy, which has set a standard that other states are following.

CLCV asked all the remaining Presidential candidates to respond to four simple questions about global warming -- and you probably won't be surprised at who answered.

With the February 5th primary election approaching rapidly, in which voters in California and 21 other states will pick which presidential candidates represent each party, we have a rare opportunity to make a monumental decision.

For the first time in years, we have an opportunity to elect a president who will give the global climate crisis the level of attention that is required to tackle it.

But how are we to know where the candidates stand on global warming, if reporters simply refuse to ask the right questions? Of the 2,938 questions asked of the presidential candidates since January 2007, just 6 mentioned global warming (source: League of Conservation Voters).

So the California League of Conservation Voters is taking matters into our own hands.
