[6:25 p.m. | Update | Jason Samenow has focused on the climate question at the Capital Weather Gang blog. Roger Pielke Jr. has picked up on a response from Obama on international climate negotiations that is, at best, a huge stretch of reality.
The Science Debate site is overloaded so the group has granted permission for the answers to be embedded below as a separate document..]
The Science Debate initiative, launched with the 2008 presidential campaign?to try to develop reasoned discussion of science-framed issues by the candidates, produced a list of 14 questions this year with advice from an array of scientists and scientific organizations and publications. The answers provided by the Obama and Romney campaigns are now posted at the following links:
Innovation?|?Climate Change?|?Research and the Future?|?Pandemics and Biosecurity
Education?|?Energy?|?Food?|?Fresh Water?|?The Internet?|?Ocean Health
Science in Public Policy?|?Space?|?Critical Natural Resources?|?Vaccination and Public Health
Sadly, without real discussion or followup, such one-shot answers are largely pasted boilerplate. (Read Robert T. Gonzalez?s post at Io9, ?Why Romney and Obama?s Written Science Answers Aren?t Enough,? for more.) But at least it?s a start. Have a look at the side-by-side answers at the links above and then offer up the followup questions you?d ask either of these politicians. (I?m at opening ceremonies at Pace University all day and can?t dig in until tonight myself.)
