Watch McCain link this to “cooperation on climate change” a.k.a. carbon credit trading.

Excerpt from his speech:
Remarks By John McCain To The Los Angeles World Affairs Council (Today's foreign policy speech)

The risks of global warming have no borders. We and the other nations of the world must get serious about substantially reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the coming years or we will hand off a much-diminished world to our grandchildren. We need a successor to the Kyoto Treaty, a cap-and-trade system that delivers the necessary environmental impact in an economically responsible manner. We Americans must lead by example and encourage the participation of the rest of the world, including most importantly, the developing economic powerhouses of China and India.

(snip)

The future of the transatlantic relationship lies in confronting the challenges of the twenty-first century worldwide: developing a common energy policy, creating a transatlantic common market tying our economies more closely together, addressing the dangers posed by a revanchist Russia, and institutionalizing our cooperation on issues such as climate change, foreign assistance, and democracy promotion.

That’s when the sh*t is really going to hit the fan! As with his Shamnesty plan, he’ll find out the hard way how out of touch he is.
