Presidential candidates gathered Saturday, November 17, in Los Angeles for the first Presidential Forum on Global Warming and America’s Energy Future. The event was a critical opportunity to hear from the candidates on their positions and to further elevate our issues in the presidential election.

The event, which was held at the Wadsworth Theater, started with a welcome address from Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa. Congressman Dennis Kucinich, Senator Hillary Clinton, and Senator John Edwards each had 30 minutes on stage to talk about their vision for solving our energy problems and answer questions on their policies.

That’s why we’re putting the spotlight on where the candidates stand on climate change. Find out more about the Heat Is On campaign.
