ESTES PARK, Colo. (AP) — Global warming is threatening America's national parks. But there is no consensus about how to prevent the harm.

Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona and Democratic Sen. Mark Udall of Colorado toured Rocky Mountain National Park Monday then heard testimony from parks officials and scientists about how global warming is harming the park system.

. . . . .

Both senators said confronting climate change is paramount.

"A common misperception is that this is a crisis that is down the road," McCain said. "Climate change is real. It's happening now."

However, there was no discussion at the hearing on what should be done to address climate change.

When the Senate resumes work next month, members will consider a bill that would set limits for the first time on greenhouse gases blamed for global warming.McCain said the climate change bill would take a back seat to an even more heated debate on health care overhauls.

"First we'll deal with health care," he said.

"Climate change is real. It's happening now."

Your defeat in 2010 will soon be real too, Juan McBama.

Yep, climate change is going to be a big problem. Maybe woolen shorts for the National Parks will help them.

Why are these two getting all wee weed up over a non-issue?

[goodnesswins]

Shut up and go away Juan, you are not one of us.

Had McCain gained the White House, the government health care bill would have been his crowning achievement of his first hundred days, I have no doubt.

Just what is it that is supposed to be going wrong with parks due to alleged global warming?

Global warming is good for the growth of vegetation. It’s global cooling that we should be scared of.

John McCain’s support for the idea of man made global warming was one of the paramount reasons I was prepared to pass on voting for him. If he had not selected Sarah Palin I would have passed on him.

He is an idiot and a RINO of the first order. One of the best examples of a “useful idiot” to ever come down the pike!

[mulligan]

Garbage and more garbage.

[Recovering_Democrat]

Wow, those two have figured it all out after a tour and what their staff shoved in front of their faces. Amazing.

One of ‘em oughta run for President.

Not.

"Climate change is real. It's happening now."

Give it some aspirin and call us in a few years...

There is no way climate change is “threatening” a national park, if one understands both the climate and teh nature of our national parks.

[LibLieSlayer]

There is no glo-bull warming... there is global cooling... backed up by the latest MIT study... juan mcgoober and his friend are both liars, crook and worst of all... typical politicians... evil and power-mad to the tenth power.

McCain is an idiot, plain and simple.

Last week the two senators toured the Grand Canyon to see the effects of climate change.

No mention of the effects they found here in Rocky Mountain Nat. Park. I have lived here since '80. I have been an herbalist since about 1990 so I have a pretty good awareness of what is growing and how well it's growing.

I haven't seen any changes whatsoever that can't be attributed to year-to-year rain and snowfall differences. This year has been an exceptionally cool and wet year and things stayed green all summer. Typically the grasses and herbs are dry and brown by the second week in July.

These two hacks didn't see anything attributable to Global Warming at all. None.

Nice vacation to garden spots, funded by tax payers, with a really fun senator to clown around with... Good times!

[faucetman]

man made and man fixable global warming is a fracking HOAX. The planet is COOLING you MORONS, Why are liberals so gullible?

[TigersEye]

Errr, which one is the really fun Senator?

[DariusBane]

Oh, it’s all rather incestuous, so I would rather not say... You understand don’t you?

[TigersEye]

Yes, that I do understand. ;^)

[calex59]

McCain, still a RINO and still stuck on stupid.
