The New Scientist also compares McCain and Obama on major climate issues, including reducing U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, agreeing to binding emission limits, investing into alternative and renewable energy, managing rising energy costs, investing in nuclear power and exploiting domestic oil reserves. Catherine Brahic has done the work of combing through the candidates' own materials, debate materials and a report from Nature.
