Climate Cast: Why isn't climate change a bigger campaign issue?

Climate change has not been a major focus of either the candidates for president or the media covering their campaigns. MPR host Kerri Miller talked to a Republican climate scientist and a former member of the White House Climate Change Task Force about why the climate isn't coming up more on the campaign trail. They also fact-checked some of the statements that candidates have made on the issue.

Kerri's guests were Paul Bledsoe, president of Bledsoe and Associates and a former climate official in the Bill Clinton White House; and Richard Alley, Professor at the Department of Geosciences, and Earth and Environmental Systems Institute at Penn State University.
