Obama and Romney science talk focuses on climate change, spaceflight

(Before It's News)

There’s at least one thing President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney can agree on: Science is pretty awesome.

In response to a collection of 14 of the most pressing science policy questions facing the country over the next four years — topics as diverse as space exploration, energy, climate change, vaccinations, food safety and more — the two candidates for president expressed strong support for the sciences.

“Sound science is crucial to good public policy,” said Mitt Romney. The current president agrees wholeheartedly.
