GREEN PARTY OF THE UNITED STATES

While Obama and Romney ignore global warming, Green presidential
nominee Jill Stein and other Green candidates promote real solutions

• Unless Stein can join the presidential debates, there will be no
discussion of fossil fuel consumption, the Trans-Pacific Partnership,
hydrofracking, mountaintop detonation mining, and other threats to the
environment and public health

WASHINGTON, DC -- Green Party candidates and leaders said today that
the delay of the Republican National Convention in Tampa and
hurricane Isaac's Gulf Coast landfall should remind voters of a
worsening crisis that both Mitt Romney and Barack Obama keep ignoring:
global climate disruption.

Greens expressed alarm over Thursday's news that the Obama
Administration has granted Shell Oil approval for dangerous oil
drilling in the Arctic Ocean in a fragile region off Alaska,
especially when a critical oil-spill containment vessel still awaits
certification.

• Andrew Groff, Green candidate for US Senate in Delaware
(http://www.andrewgroffforsenate.us):

"Unless Green presidential candidate Jill Stein is allowed to
participate in the presidential debates, there will be no discussion
of what we need to do to curb catastrophic climate change. On one
hand, Romney is appeasing the know-nothing extremists and junk-science
believers in the GOP who deny human responsibility for global warming.
On the other hand, President Obama has proposed minimal steps to deal
with global warming -- and then undercuts them by surrendering to the
corporate energy lobby, supporting off-shore drilling in US coastal
waters, repeating the myth of 'clean coal', and allowing hydrofracking
and mountaintop detonation mining to continue. All of these are
immediate threats to public health and the environment and contribute
to the fossil-fuel consumption that's pumping more and more greenhouse
gases into the atmosphere. The effects are already evident in the
drought and growing instability of weather patterns in the US."

(See also "Climate Change: An Information Statement of the American
Meteorological Society," August 20, 2012,
http://www.ametsoc.org/policy/2012climatechange.html)

• Martin Pleasant, Green candidate for US Senate in Tennessee
(http://www.martinpleasant.com):

"Jill Stein and other Green candidates are running on a platform that
will put millions of Americans to work and restore economic stability
by combatting global warming with new jobs in conservation, developing
new and safe energy technologies, retrofitting buildings and homes and
redesigning public infrastructure for energy efficiency, expanding
public transportation to reduce car traffic, a carbon tax as an
incentive to promote safe and clean energy, and other ideas. Obama and
Romney keep talking about independence from foreign oil. The real
problem is America's addiction to fossil fuels, regardless of where
they come from. Only Dr. Stein is offering solutions."

(More on Dr. Stein's 'Green New Deal': http://www.jillstein.org/green_new_deal)

• Ursula Rozum, Green candidate for US House in New York's District 24
(http://www.ursulaforcongress.com), author of "Solve climate crisis to
make economy humane," Syracuse Post Standard, April 20, 2012
(http://www.greenpapers.net/?p=240):

"The Obama Administration has turned out to be a disaster on the
global warming front. He wants to banish the 2C goal (keeping the
world's average temperature from rising more than two degrees
Centigrade) from international negotiations on climate change
(http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-19161799). President
Obama is also promoting the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), a new
international trade pact that will serve powerful corporate lobbies by
overrriding environmental protections and allowing more logging,
drilling, mining, and transportation of raw materials in the Pacific
rim, as well as weakening labor rights and imposing more restrictive
intellectual property rules. TPP was negotiated in secret and is
supported by Mitt Romney. Greens oppose it. There will be no
discussion of these enormously important issues in the Obama vs.
Romney debate. A victory for either candidate on Nov. 6 will spell
more disaster for our planet."
