There should be a climate change ad

Do you want a candidate who believes in it or not and who crafts policies and builds infrastructure that takes it into account or not?
Romney wants to end the fuel efficiency improvements of Obama and stop investing in alternative fuels. Forward or backward really applies here too.

Serious climate change deniers won't vote for Obama anyway, and it might persuade independents.

Now is the time to stress this issue. It is not just that Romney doesn’t believe in funding public disaster relief and probably wouldn’t do much to keep FEMA strong, it is that he and his supporters (and funders) don’t believe in climate change!!! His policies actively dismiss it!! He wants to end subsidies for alternative fuels; he wants to keep subsidies for oil and expand exploration; he wants to get rid of restrictions that protect the environment; and he probably won’t push for infrastructure that takes into account the newly dangerous climate. This is a gigantic difference between him and Obama even though it hasn't been stressed in the campaign.
