Floridians Feeling Heat From Climate Change

And they've have asked the presidential candidates to respond.  From their letter:

"Florida is already feeling the effects of sea level rise and, increasingly, it jeopardizes the
health, safety, and economic well-being of our communities. Our local tidal gauges show
sea levels rose by about eight inches in the twentieth century."

So let's take a peek at each candidates campaign website for their take on the issue.

Neither candidate lists climate change as one of their issues, though they both have an "Energy" issue.

President Obama hints at the need to address climate change but nothing explicit.

Mitt Romney doesn't even bother to hint.
