Introduction and Overview
Presidential candidates are talking about climate change, including global warming, and ways to address this defining challenge of our time. Comparing their statements is like the proverbial apples and oranges. In many cases, proposals are offered with few measurements for success. In some cases, goals are expressed but the individual measures described don’t add up to the goals.
This Report Card is designed to objectively analyze each candidate's stated positions on climate change (or the energy policy that is a crucial part thereof). Also, a Summary of Grades is available to easily compare candidates across the grading categories.
Learn more about the grading process -- as well as the Sanders-Boxer bill, which serves as a benchmark climate action plan. To schedule an interview with Terry Tamminen, please contact Jenna Cittadino at jennaallen3@gmail.com or 310-393-6100.
