Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) on Sunday said he can’t guess why some fellow Republicans deny the scientific consensus that climate change exists and is affected by human activity.
“I don’t know because I can’t divine their motives,” McCain said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
“There is things happening with the climate in the world that is unprecedented,” he added. “We have to understand that the climate may be changing and we can take commonsense measures which will not harm the American people.”
McCain also said an agreement President Donald Trump came to with Democrats for a short-term increase in the debt limit “was not an exercise in bipartisanship.”
“The Republicans leaders, Ryan and McConnell, were surprised to hear that he had cut this deal with Chuck and Nancy,” McCain said, referring to House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI), Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), and their Democratic counterparts House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY).
“The proposal that the President accepted, the speaker of the House had just categorically rejected,” McCain said. “So that’s not the way we need to do business.”
McCain usually out-democrat’s most democrats.
Consensus is not science and AGW/Climate Change is not even a consensus. It is a political position that is not backed by nearly enough scientists to call it a consensus. The title “Scientist” is not limited to those who get published in MSM and its Trade mag offshoots.
“The science is settled” is a political statement
Senility or brain tumor or both.
So he's had that tumor for decades then?
Consensus is a creation of political science.
When the socialist hegemony tells me that my existence is harming my planet, I look for the truth behind that evil lie.
Just die McDemocRat and eat your lettuce loser! ...
But he can divine climate change. What an ass.
Glioblastoma, also known as glioblastoma multiforme, is the most aggressive cancer that begins within the brain
Just more proof McCain has always had a mental illness and this brain cancer is not his first rodeo with a brain disease.
The world will be a better place without Juan McLame polluting the DC swamp with his swamp creature buddies.
Because it is a fraud, John. The lefties literally made up the data in order to shape policy and to have idiots like you, who are incapable of critical thinking and only interested in getting re-elected, shovel literally billions of dollars to them in Grants for studies and in various contracts. On top of that, so cold climate change is a means of imposing control over all of Western Society.
That’s why I am not convinced by climate change. What is your excuse, you corrupt moron?
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”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.
So McCain needs to put his money where his oath to protect and defend the Constitution is and do the following concerning global warming.
McCain first needs to rally Congress to successfully propose a global warming amendment to the Constitution to the states.
Otherwise, if post-17th Amendment ratification McCain ignores securing the required express constitutional consent of the states before leading Congress to officially tackle global warming issues, then he will be doing the following imo.
He will be unconstitutional pushing for the feds to steal state powers and uniquely associated state revenues, revenues stolen by means of unconstitutional federal taxes according to the Gibbons excerpt above, probably for the purpose of unconstitutionally redistributing wealth under the guise of politically correct global warming.
Die already, McLame.
The reason McCain is a Republican from Arizona is because it is much harder to elect a Democrat Senator in Arizona.
McCain is a Democrat pretending to be a Republican.
Someone should explain something to John: While the climate may be changing, the human population is not responsible for most of it. And we can do little to turn it back.
“commonsense measures which will not harm the American people.”
Oh... you mean, like, MORE TAXES, JOHNNIE???

“Real crises don’t need to change their terminology.”
Yep. And they don’t go on for DECADES either.
John, you’re as corrupt as they come. Too bad for you that enough of us see this for the financial scam that it is.
You ought to be ashamed of yourself. You’re rich enough for the few years you have left. But this govt. scamming has become a lifestyle to you, hasn’t it?
Johnny Boy, most of the reason we doubt it is because the chi-coms who are friends with the viet-congs that you were buddy with are allowed to pollute their country and surrounding areas with ACTUAL noxious pollutants and heavy industrial wastes such as heavy metals, industrial solvents, Sulfur compounds, and other horrible deadly pollutants that can kill multiple life forms if they get in the ecosystem and they actually have rivers that can start on FIRE....
Meanwhile the idiot lawmakers here are declaring that a simple relatively harmless product of carbon combustion that is ALREADY PRESENT IN NATURE is a “HORRIBLE WORLD ENDING POLLUTANT” even though the same gas is EXHALED by Johnny Boy himself until his brain tumor eventually takes us away from his blithering idiocy.
Lawmakers like Johnny McBrainless propose that we continue to move our industry to CHINA where they could give two chopsticks about ACTUAL POLLUTION.... so we can reduce OUR OUTPUT of the HARMLESS GAS CO2......
And Johnny Boy wonders WHY anyone with a ration brain cell in their head questions the whole CO2 narrative and the “Man-Made climate Change Fairy Tale” that HAS TO GO WITH IT....
Well, DUH!!!! Because is is a globalist play to DE-INDUSTRIALIZE THE WEST, while at the same INCREASING ACTUAL POLLUTION OF THE DEVELOPING WORLD....
