Green politics
For 150 years, the American Institute of Architects (AIA) and its members have advocated for policies that benefit the built environment. This election year is no different, as the AIA has launched DesignVote08, a national non-partisan program to bolster awareness surrounding the impact of buildings on our environment. Check this out at http://www.aia.org/designvote
3 questions:
What would u say is the largest producer of green house gasses emission? Buildings or cars?
Which Presidential candidate do you think would have the greatest effect on energy efficiency legislation?
What do you think the next President could do to help architects, the building and construction industry to reduce these carbon emissions?
I think this topic (green house gasses emissions) must be extremly relevant when u American vote...
Reduce our Greenhouse Gas Emissions 80 Percent by 2050
• Implement an economy-wide cap-and-trade program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 80 percent by 2050.
• Make the U.S. a Leader on Climate Change.

Cleantech and Green Business for Obama (CT4O) is a self-organized constituency group supporting the Obama campaign. It is composed of cleantech and green business professionals from around the country who, acting solely as volunteers, have organized to spearhead fundraising and outreach nationwide in this emerging economic sector.
A good comparision between both
A new WorldPublicOpinion.org poll at the University of Maryland reveals that both Obama and McCain supporters favor stronger energy and environmental policies than are currently endorsed by either campaign:
'Good' energy policy is fairly clear. The USA needs to reduce oil dependence from Middle Eastern and Venezuelan oil suppliers, particularly for oil, and the USA needs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels.

Climate Consensus Obscures Obama, McCain Differences
“Between the two candidates, the devil's in the details,” notes Tufts economist Gilbert Metcalf. “Obama wants to auction all the permits and use the revenue for energy efficiency, R&D and other purposes [while] McCain wants to give the bulk of the permits away initially — this is the $100 billion difference between the candidates.”

mm McCain? I wont talk about him... let's talk about Sarah Palin...
Sarah Palin: Making John McCain Look Like Al Gore?
Published by Caroline Howe, August 30th, 2008 global warmingIn stark contrast with Senator Barack Obama’s energy policy, which he described last night calling for millions of new green jobs, improved national security, and reduced global warming pollution, John McCain today announced that his running mate, Sarah Palin, Governor of Alaska, doesn’t believe in anthropogenic climate change or evolution. Combine all of this with the fact that Ms. Palin’s husband works for British Petroleum drilling in North Alaska, that she doesn’t believe that climate change science is clear or that the changes are caused by mankind’s greenhouse gas emissions and the fact that she wants to drill in the Alaskan National Wildlife Refuge to guarantee our energy security rather than pursuing renewable energies, and you’ve got one of the worst climate candidates yet! Even John McCain has spoken vocally to protect ANWR, so his selection of one of the nation’s biggest supporters for drilling there has been a major blow,
New York Times in January 2008, Ms. Palin said:
“In fact, there is insufficient evidence that polar bears are in danger of becoming extinct within the foreseeable future… The possible listing of a healthy species like the polar bear would be based on uncertain modeling of possible effects. The Center for Biological Diversity, which petitioned for the polar bear to be protected, wants the listing to force the government to either stop or severely limit any public or private action that produces, or even allows, the production of greenhouse gases. Such limits should be adopted through an open process in which environmental issues are weighed against economic and social needs, and where scientists debate and present information that policy makers need to make the best decisions… Americans should become involved in the issue of climate change by offering suggestions for constructive action to their state governments. But listing the polar bear as threatened is the wrong way to get to the right answer.”
( :´( yes, I cannot believe it... Caroline Howe ends her article like this.... i´m so agree whit her! )
I would never vote for the John McCain and Sarah Palin regardless of the massive changes in her approach to energy policy and climate change that she will have to make to be elected as a vice president, but I am shocked that even McCain would select a candidate with such an awful environmental record or stance with regards to our nations’ biological, energetic, and climatic strategies. More and more voters are considering climate change as a major part of their candidate’s election platform and I think that these points will be some of the most important choices in the decision for the nation’s next president.
