Good News - Candidates Actually Agree on Global Warming
 
At least when it comes to global warming, the presidential candidates agree more than they disagree. The two candidates share the same main strategy to fight global warming: a comprehensive cap and trade system to curb emissions. There of course are differences on the finer points of such a system, but both candidates appear to be embracing a private sector led program with public sector assistance. The differences in their proposed plans appear below:

McCain wants to cut emissions by 60% in 2050, while Obama is shooting for an 80% reduction

The Obama camp plans to sell 100% of the emissions permits to businesses, while the McCain campaign wants to give the permits out for free.
