The leading international science journal Nature has focussed the US presidential election campaign on science by asking both President George Bush and Senator John Kerry for their views on the major issues.


You can read the analysis at BBC news (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/3660276.stm).

I won't read BBC "analysis" of US politics.  I'm that closed-minded.

CLIMATE CHANGE

Senator Kerry calls for intentional action but does not in fact commit himself to rejoining the Kyoto accord and speaks in rather general terms only.

So, no target figure came from Mr Kerry, just a commitment to negotiate internationally.

MISSILE DEFENCE

Mr Kerry favours research but "I am not for rapid deployment of missile defence. We should not waste money on deployment at this stage." He therefore does not rule it out but is cautious about its effectiveness

Not a teaspoon of spit's worth of difference between either of their answers, except that Kerry answered that, "he and John Edwards" would take care of the issue, while Bush did not include another party in his answers.
