Record hurricanes and record droughts have already caused tens of billions of dollars in damage. Yet, neither of the two Presidential candidates - and in fact neither of the two major political parties - have made reversing global warming an important issue of their campaigns. This is because both parties rely on oil companies and other multinational corporations for their campaign funding. It has therefore been left to the Green Party Presidential candidate, Jill Stein, to raise the issue of global warming and the role that solar power could play in reducing extreme weather in the future. Jill Stein has shown tremendous courage in this campaign and is to be commended for bringing truth to the American people about the danger of unchecked global warming.
