Who is the Green Candidate?

The young activist actor, Leonardo DiCaprio , and the producer of the Eleventh Hour, said when asked who best represented his interests among the candidates at this point...


And he said none of them.

This raises an interesting question. How many of the candidates has talked at all bout green concerns.

Who has talked about a plan to get us off fossil fuels, who is dedicated to weaning us away from dependency on foreign fuels.

When push comes to shove, it seems that everything else was on the agenda except the future of the planet.

Nobody talked about global warming in a way that would show their commitment.

Nevertheless, in our childrens lifetime, there may be no more polar bears, no more penguins, half our cities might be underwater, and we will be no stranger to diseases and other conditions that are common in the tropics.

If nothing is done, we will still be beholden to foreign powers....
and we will have pushed the world to the very edge.

What are we going to do about it?

Where do our candidates stand on the issues of global warming?
What are they going to commit to to make our world a better and safer place to live...

Or are we all going to be faced with New Orleans over and over again?

These are frightening prospects for anyone who cares about tipping points from which there may not be any coming back.

But most of all, these are legitimate questions as we embark upon the most important election most of us have ever faced.
