Here's what the Concord Monitor had to say about the League of Conservation Voters and Granite State Conservation Voters' ads in prior to CNN's Democratic and Republican debates in New Hampshire:
Hot topic
A 30-second TV ad featuring actor Robert Redford asking people to push candidates on climate change policy will begin airing today during Arnie Arnesen's Political Chowder on WZMY TV.
"In every generation there are a few defining moments when we have the chance to chart a new course that will leave our children a better world," Redford says in the ad. "Our time is now, and our challenge is to solve global warming."
After quotes from newscasters, Redford goes on to ask people to challenge the presidential candidates to make climate change a priority.
The ad is sponsored by Granite State Conservation Voters and the League of Conservation Voters, which has launched a nonpartisan campaign, called The Heat Is On, to make global warming a focus of the race.
Bruce Clendenning, project manager for Granite State Conservation Voters, said the two groups will also launch a newspaper ad campaign.
