It is Sunday and I was gonna post something besides politics but Sandy, that weird storm that hit the Northeast, has because of all the damage , reawakened the dialogs on global warming….and since neither candidate seem to have much to say on the subject, I thought I would help the voter out in a small way…..

In 2009, President Barack Obama proposed a bill that would have capped power plant carbon dioxide emissions and allowed trading of credits for the right to emit greenhouse gases, but the measure died in Congress. An international treaty effort failed. Obama since has taken a different approach, treating carbon dioxide as a pollutant under the law. He doubled auto fuel economy standards, which will increase the cost of cars but save drivers money at the pump. He’s put billions of stimulus dollars into cleaner energy.

Mitt Romney’s view of climate change has varied. In his book “No Apology,” he wrote, “I believe that climate change is occurring” and “human activity is a contributing factor.” But on the campaign trail last year he said, “We don’t know what’s causing climate change on this planet.” He has criticized Obama’s treatment of coal power plants and opposes treating carbon dioxide as a pollutant and the capping of carbon dioxide emissions, but favors spending money on clean technology. Romney says some actions to curb emissions could hurt an already struggling economy.

I realize that this was a very simplistic look at the candidates and thanx to the AP for their breakdowns……..I suggest that the voter do a little research if the idea of global warming is on their minds……..remember no matter the issue it is a great day when ALL Americans can go to the polls and vote for their chosen candidate..3 days and counting……some will be happy and others will just have to get over it and move on to finding real answers to the problems this country has…..
