Obama will address global warming

As a young Illinois voter, I am extremely excited to see what president-elect Barack Obama will bring to the table on the issue of global warming. His views on climate change are ideal for our nation in this economic crisis. Obama recognizes that if we don't take steps to fight against global warming, it will have a damaging effect on the world and nation's economy. Obama's plan for the cap and trade system not only will help to curb climate change, but it will also create jobs and new industries, resulting in an improving economy. It's a win-win situation.
