The Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primaries have been won by candidates who favor acting to prevent further climate change.

Sen. McCain of Arizona is the sponsor of one of the first bills to curb climate-warming pollution. Sen. Clinton of New York is a member of the Environment and Public Works Committee, which managed last month to approve a new carbon-capping bill -- the first time this has ever happened. Sen. Obama of Illinois has said his first priority to combat global warming if he is elected would be to enact a carbon cap that would cut U.S. emissions by 80 percent. Huckabee, the former Arkansas governor, supports a cap-and-trade approach to fight global warming but has not been specific about how that might work in his administration.
