The Global Legislators' Organisation for a Balanced Environment (GLOBE) called for a new worldwide agreement to replace the Kyoto Protocol on global warming, which expires in 2012. Among the panel's recommendations is a new global market to limit and trade carbon emissions.

Anybody know who is behind GLOBE?

He said the new Democratic-controlled Congress would pass tighter energy restrictions by 2009.

Great.

Speak for yourself, McCain! I don't presume you're joining with the Left to destroy our way of life in the hopes it will get you the GOP presidential nomination. Your contemptible action is guaranteed to do for you the exact opposite. Lead you to nowhere. Enjoy your new alliance on global warming with the Democrats and the Media while it lasts.

"I am convinced that we have reached the tipping point and that the Congress of the United States will act with the agreement of the administration," said Mr McCain, who is a favoured candidate in next year's presidential primaries.

Anything to simply "BE" president.

[Mr. Mojo]

Brilliant strategy to win the GOP nomination -- run to the left of Hillary.

Keep it going, Mac.

[You Dirty Rats]

The debate is over, my friends.

No it isn't.

[TommyDale]

Looks like McCain is more than a little tipsy.

[Doogle]

Now the question is: what do we do? Do we act, do we care enough about the young people of the next generation to act seriously and meaningfully, or are we going to just continue this debate and this discussion?"

..just like all these other spineless politico's in this country...as more and more pressure mounts from the socialistic agenda driven warming alarmist...these a$$holes cave. They crumble. Don't look at both sides, and the inevitable cost and what it would do to the US economy to weasel under.....FIGHT YOU NUTLESS WONDERS!

...who is a favoured candidate in next year's presidential primaries.

Says who?...

[Tax Government]

The debate [on global warming] is over, my friends..."

I detect a recurring theme with McCain: "Shut down free speech and discussion." That was certainly the intent of McCain-Feingold.

We should march in the streets and sign petitions asking The Sun to cut back just a tad on its output, so that we have perfect equilibrium.

There goes most of the little support he had among the conservatives...

[billybudd]

That's the argument of someone who is afraid of debate; who knows his arguments will not stand up to scrutiny.

[TitansAFC]

But but but....

He''ll fight the War, and he can beat Hillary.

Isn't that ALL that matters?

[Gatún(CraigIsaMangoTreeLawyer)]

“The debate is over, my friends…”

Yeah, McLoony, because you say so.

What a miserable, self-absorbed, ego, nut case…not only is he a mental wacko, he’s also physically ill.

Oh, and I'm not your friend.

What's funny is these are the same people who insist on science and rational discussion on other issues but when it comes to global warming, they turn into inquisitors hunting down the heretics.

I have to conclude that John McCain isn't very bright. Conservatives take a longer, more common sensical view of the global warming hysteria of the left, so John McCain thinks he's going to appeal to conservatives by doing what? Unless John McCain is trying to position himself up for some kind of independent run if he doesn't get the Republican nomination. But if that's the case, he might as well go back to bashing the Christian Right.

[Interesting Times]

Another possibility is that it's McCain, not the planet, which is at a tipping point...
