  Quote of the Day

  Posted on Friday, June 6th, 2008 by campaign2008

  “We can’t afford more of the same timid politics when the future of our planet is at stake. We are already breaking records with the intensity of our storms, the number of forest fires, and the periods of drought. By 2050, famine could force more than 250 million from their homes. And if we do nothing, sea levels will rise high enough to swallow large portions of every coastal city and town.”

  –Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL), in a statement Friday on the climate change bill blocked in the Senate by Republicans (AFP).
