President Obama and Governor Romney have again failed the American public by not taking the opportunity provided by this debate to talk about climate change.

Public Citizen, Friends of the Earth, and Forecast the Facts are calling on President Obama and Governor Romney to renounce the climate silence and talk directly and honestly to the American public tonight about what they will do to stop catastrophic climate change.

President Obama and Gov. Romney's failure to talk to the American public about climate change during the debate is striking.

McCain’s campaign is attacking Obama for supporting what McCain himself acknowledges is a good idea. McCain is clearly interested in scoring cheap political points instead of supporting real energy solutions.
