Thank you for contacting me regarding climate change. I appreciate knowing your thoughts on this issue.
Last year, President Obama announced a plan to address climate change. Unfortunately, most of the Administration's proposals would simply impose burdensome regulations on American business that would be harmful to the U.S. economy. While I welcome the opportunity to debate proposals in the Senate, I do not support the use of executive orders to implement policy and place costly new regulations on the American industry.
According to extensive international scientific studies, including reports by the National Academy of Sciences and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, dramatic increases in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are causing global temperatures to rise. Human activities, including the burning of fossil fuels, are the primary source of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions in our atmosphere.
As Americans, we can no longer ignore our significant contribution to this environmental threat. The United States must act responsibly to address this issue and work to preserve the environment for future generations. It is also essential that we maintain our leadership role as the world moves toward international solutions.
As you may know, in previous years I have worked to pass legislation to reduce carbon emissions though the creation of a market-based cap and trade system. I continue to believe that America should promote innovation in the energy economy by creating a market demand for carbon reduction. Please be assured that I will keep your views in mind as I work together with my fellow Senators and the Administration to negotiate a successful method of addressing this critical issue.
Thank you again for sharing your views. Please feel free to contact me regarding this or any other matter of importance to you.
Sincerely,
John McCain United States Senator
This insane rat can’t even “go right” for an upcoming election correctly...... insane, clinically insane.
Humans burning stuff snd breatheing are NOT the primary source of CO2 in the atmosphere. Juan is a Luddite.
The GOP supports IRS attacks on conservatives,
the Global Warming Hoax, gay marriage,
RomneyCARE, interminable Benghazi coverup and ISIS.
What is next GOP? Polygamy to animals?
McCane would know about global warming. He was alive the last one about 100,000 years ago.
Also, since water vapor is by far the main global warming gas, mankind has a scant effect on the situation. Juan is retarded.
If you support cap and trade, you’re an idiot — or worse.
In this case it’s worse.
Dear John,
Here we go again, and this is just in the last week or so for all these things to come to my attention.
Dang it...
I would think with I could see the “creation of a market-based cap and trade system” in the Constitution, but for some reason I can’t find it.
Once again, this shows that I have an older version of the Constitution.
And since you have stated, “As you may know, in previous years I have worked to pass legislation to reduce carbon emissions though the creation of a market-based cap and trade system.”
Mine doesn’t list the “creation of a market-based cap and trade system,” salad bars, raisin control, ketchup speed control, smelly body products, phone handouts, and others as one of the specific authorities given to the federal government.
Can you point me to where I can download a latest version of the Constitution?
One that specifically authorizes (enumerates) you and the federal government authority over such things as:
- the amount of water in my toilet bowl
- the type of light bulbs I use
- Obamaphone handouts
- creation of market-based cap and trade system
- blood letting
- body stench removal products
- how fast ketchup should flow out of the bottle
- delicious nutritious kids salad bar
- and also raisin control.
You see John, my main concern here is that the federal government has no specific authority enumerated to it for your “creation.”
As an example of another “creation” not specifically enumerated to you, but taken anyway, I give you...
Ketchup Speed Limits
{technical note: this not in miles per hour (mph), but in centimeters per second. So all posted ketchup speed limit signs should have an appropriate conversion applied.}
Be always on the alert for the speed limit signs on the ketchup bottles, in the stores, and at the restaurants. And if you see ketchup going too fast then by all means call 911 and report it. And if ketchup is going too slow and not using the slow lane and holding up other ketchup, then it too should be reported.

“The consistency of the finished food is such that its flow is not more than 14 centimeters in 30 seconds at 20 deg. C when tested in a Bostwick Consistometer in the following manner: Check temperature of mixture and adjust to 20+/-1 deg. C. The trough must also be at a temperature close to 20 deg. C. Adjust end-to-end level of Bostwick Consistometer by means of the spirit level placed in trough of instrument. Side-to-side level may be adjusted by means of the built-in spirit level. Transfer sample to the dry sample chamber of the Bostwick Consistometer. Fill the chamber slightly more than level full, avoiding air bubbles as far as possible. Pass a straight edge across top of chamber starting from the gate end to remove excess product. Release gate of instrument by gradual pressure on lever, holding the instrument down at the same time to prevent its movement as the gate is released. Immediately start the stop watch or interval timer, and after 30 seconds read the maximum distance of flow to the nearest 0.1 centimeter. Clean and dry the instrument and repeat the reading on another portion of sample. Do not wash instrument with hot water if it is to be used immediately for the next determination, as this may result in an increase in temperature of the sample. For highest accuracy, the instrument should be maintained at a temperature of 20+/-1 deg. C. If readings vary more than 0.2 centimeter, repeat a third time or until satisfactory agreement is obtained. Report the average of two or more readings, excluding any that appear to be abnormal.”
...dramatic increases in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are causing global temperatures to rise. Human activities, including the burning of fossil fuels, are the primary source of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions in our atmosphere.
There's gotta be a big-gummint solution in there somewhere:
I have worked to pass legislation to reduce carbon emissions though the creation of a market-based cap and trade system.Well, let's hope we don't reduce them too much: the biosphere is a carbon-based life form whose respiration depends on exchanges between the plant kingdom and the animal kingdom. Plants "inhale" carbon dioxide, and "exhale" oxygen — which animals, in their turn, inhale, exhaling carbon dioxide. This is an astonishing, profound symbiosis in living nature. (Of course, I've oversimplified these matters just a bit.)
A market-based carbon tax would do very little to reduce "greenhouse gases"; what it introduces is a document-shuffling shell-game that people can make money off if they know how to properly exploit it. Meanwhile, production costs of goods and services rise inexorably.
I wish we'd just get over the anthropogenic global warming MYTH — for which there is a dearth of evidence — and focus on cleaning up air pollution.
Do you suppose Senator McCain would be interested in looking for a big-gummint solution to that problem — like a market-based cap and trade system in air pollution?
That'll really cure the problem — NOT!!!
But there's money to be made for friends of the Pope of Arizona; and they will reelect him....
I really think Senator McCain has lost it. JMHO FWIW
I heard some BS mentioned on the radio this morning and had an epiphany:
Notice how quiet the lib economists and the Admin are being about the rotten 1st quarter?
You know...the quarter damned by icy cold, wintry weather that kept shoppers indoors and stunted construction.
Yes...the same icy cold that many were wishing for ‘global warming’ while shivering their hineys off.
Much like the repetitive snow storms that cause cancellation of ‘global warming summits’/rallies in DC, it’s an ‘inconvenient truth’, and a very strong irony, that the COLD that killed GDP doesn’t help their global warming argument.
ROFLMAO
The beer Plane you married into just like your buddy John F. Kerry, only he married a Late Republican Senator John Heinz Fortune
Even if so-called called global warming has been proven by the consistent outcome of repeatable, scientific method-based experimentation specifically designed to show the effects of such warming, please consider the following. Low-information Sen. McCain evidently does not understand that the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to address intrastate climate / environmental issues. So it was McCain’s job as a senator to kill all bills which attempted to do so instead of passing them like McCain evidently did.
In fact, note that regardless that federal Democrats, RINOs, corrupt justices and indoctrinated attorneys will argue that if the Constitution doesn’t say that the feds can’t do something then they can do it, the Supreme Court has addressed that foolish idea too. Politically correct interpretations of the Constitution's Supremacy Clause (5.2) aside, the Court has clarified in broad terms that powers not delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate intrastate climate / environmental issues in this case, are prohibited to the feds.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
The reason that senators get away with wrongly supporting unconstitutional legislation like global warming bills is the following. Thanks to 17A, low-information voters go home after voting for their favorite federal senators and watch football, clueless to the major constitutional problem that corrupt senators are working in cahoots with the corrupt House to such unconstitutional legislation.
And what’s worse is that the corrupt Senate confirms activist justices who declare the unconstitutional laws that the Senate helped to pass to be constitutional!
So if Sen. McCain really really wants the feds to have the constitutional authority to address climate issues then this is what he must do. McCain must rally both Houses of Congress to propose a global warming amendment to the Constitution to the states. And if the states choose to ratify McCain’s amendment then the feds will have the constitutional authority that they require to legislatively address global warming and McCain will be a hero. (But I’m not going to hold my breath until he does so.)
The 17th Amendment needs to disappear, and a bunch of corrupt senators along with it.
.....aaaaand in other neus:
Obama and Mc Cain caused Global Flooding by pissing in the ocean. Appropriate taxes were levied in emergency session and da world was saved!
Calling all the sane people in Arizona.
This is what you send us.
Calling the Az Chamber of Commerce, this is the guy that you guy pay for. I know your strip mall members love him but please think about your choices.
McCain, why the 17th amendment was wrong.
You have been pinged because of your interest in environmentalism, alarmist wackos, mainstream media doomsday hype, and other issues pertaining to global warming.
