The Political Climate: an ongoing commentary on the NH Primary and Climate Change

Young Voters Chat Climate with Biden

November 30th, 2007 by Carbon Coalition

Joe Biden faced a pair of climate change questions campaigning in yesterday at the NEC College Convention 2008 in Manchester.  Three NH youngsters sat down with Senator Biden and talked about the economic opportunities of solving climate change.

“We can change the world” Biden proclaimed as he scribed his John Hancock on red signs reading “Make Global Warming a Priority.”

Biden then took a minute to share a few of his climate plans:

“The first thing that I would do is to issue an executive order saying that not one single, solitary federal dollar will be spent to buy a fleet automobile that does not get 40 MPG.  Secondly, not a single solitary building will be built that wasn’t green.  The reason for that is simple.  That will cause thirty other states in the nation to follow. That will create a pool of money of a half a trillion dollars and all of a sudden you will see the economic system begin to work.”

“I will immediately call for the reconvening of Kyoto II.  I would immediately begin to do joint projects with China and India in order to help them gain control of their greenhouse gasses.”

Watch Biden speak with the youth in Manchester.
