By Doug MacPherson on Tuesday, January 13, 2004.

Four years ago, many candidates were still arguing over whether it was a legitimate issue. This year, all the major Democratic candidates say Climate Change is an issue that must be grappled with. That?s what the vast majority of New Hampshire voters expect to hear. As part of our primary campaign coverage, New Hampshire Public Radio?s Doug MacPherson spoke to voters on New Hampshire?s Sea Coast about Climate Change. He filed this report.
