Make no doubt about it, when it comes to environment, Gore has the clear edge. The author of the 1992 manifesto Earth in the Balance is an avid supporter of the Kyoto protocol--a 1997 commitment signed by over 100 countries to stem global emissions of greenhouse gases. By contrast, Bush's home state of Texas has the dubious distinction of having one of the worst environmental records in the nation.

As a senator and later as Vice President, Gore played an important role in formulating an international response to the threat of global climate change. Bush, however, argues against the Kyoto protocol. Like his father in the 1980s, Bush calls for further research before taking action against. In last Tuesday's debate, Bush stated that he would not let the U.S. carry the burden for cleaning up the world's air. He is correct in asserting that excluding India and China from the treaty exempts the world...
