The crack team of investigative journalists at the Washington Times have uncovered that Sen. John McCain and Sen. Barack Obama are not living up to their pledges to offset their campaign carbon emissions.

Campaign finance records for 2007 show that neither of the two leading presidential candidates has spent money to independently cover his campaign's "carbon footprint" — the amount of carbon emissions emitted by the planes and vehicles the candidates and their staffs use for travel, or by the computers and headquarters needed to run a presidential campaign.

By contrast, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, Mr. Obama's rival for the Democratic presidential nomination, has made monthly payments to offset her campaign's "carbon footprint."
