"The science is clear, and the physical consequences of global warming are obvious in shrinking polar ice caps, retreating glaciers, stronger storms, and changing rainfall patterns. We can expect rising sea levels, spreading diseases, and unpredictable, abrupt climate shifts. Even the richest nations will face huge costs coping with this challenge. The poorest nations will be hit the worst and will have the fewest resources with which to respond. This is a recipe for global resource wars, and even great resentment of our wealth by those less fortunate – a new world disorder. We must act."

-- Joe Biden, January 2007

Joe Biden has made energy policy a centerpiece of his campaign, with a science-based goal for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and a variety of policies designed to boost alternative and renewable energy production.

During his time holding national office, Biden has an 84 lifetime score on the League of Conservation Voters Scorecard. The Scorecard rates national office holders on a scale of 0 to 100 based on their votes on environmental issues on which LCV has taken a position. He scored between 83 and 100 between 2001 and 2006.

The 2008 Biden campaign has taken $16,650 from the oil and gas industry, ranking him 12th of 15 candidates and 6th of seven Democrats, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
