The economy is in a slump, which means critical environment issues like global warming have been put on the back burner says Environment Illinois. The citizen-based, environmental advocacy group tallied the number of questions top reporters have asked presidential candidates to date, and found that only four out of 2,938 mentioned global warming. That’s only one more than the total questions addressing UFO’s. In a letter sent to the group’s email subscribers, Executive Director Rebecca D. Stanfield writes:
“In my opinion, energy and global warming are two of the most urgent problems our new president will face when he or she takes office exactly 360 days from now. But I am astonished that, instead of the presidential candidates facing tough questions about their plans to solve these two problems on the campaign trail, something else is happening, something very frustrating to me… America is at a critical crossroads and who our next president is and the decisions she or he makes will make all the difference in determining the health, safety and well-being of our country. What truly are these reporters waiting for?”
And why are they making my job so hard? Anyway, here’s a video the group posted to Youtube.
