If we are to tackle the issue of global warming, we need to unite on 2 issues with Republicans that we can agree on.

1. Free Trade Sucks. It sucks for workers, it sucks for the environment, Ross Perot was right and even Republicans can see it. This will help prevent global warming by also including a clause that all trade in America will now be with companies that have environmental standards and standards for worker safety and pay. What kind of country would support slave conditions and a horrible environmental conditions just so we could have more cheap shit?

2. Asthma and breathing disorders suck, and pollution is the problem. These diseases are on the rise, no one can argue the cause. We need to clean up our air for future generations. This will help prevent global warming but Republicans don't need to know that either.
