Suggested Reading Material for Presidental Candidates

-- Mike -- 04/07/2007

Presidential candidates stumping in Iowa yesterday would have come across two interesting pieces in the Des Moines Register if they happened to be perusing the paper between campaign stops.

The first piece is an editorial from the paper itself, suggesting that "the president and Congress must step up to the plate with a national global-warming strategy that is part of a global solution."

The other piece is a op/ed from Frank Cownie, mayor of Des Moines, and Brenda Ekwurzel, a climate scientist at the Union of Concerned Scientists, in which they argue that "reducing global-warming emissions must be our highest priority to avoid leaving our children and grandchildren a world we wouldn't even recognize."

I know if I were running for president, I would certainly take a few minutes to read both of them in their entirely.
