Let me ask a question that might be relevant to the primaries that are going on and to the eventual election. As you have mentioned, all three of the remaining candidates on both the Republican and Democrat sides have maintained a position, in some cases a strong position, on the need to do something about climate change, while the U.S. is on the verge or in the midst of a recession.
Our government, similar to your federal government right now, has used the excuse of the economy versus the environment, saying that we have these tough choices to make. Have any of the leading presidential candidates abandoned their climate change plans or initiatives in the face of this oncoming recession? Have they used that excuse to say that clearly doing anything about the environment was for another day, when we were more prosperous, or have they maintained their initiatives?
