"Rosie would be exempt of course. "

Without exactly being like Mike, Sen. John McCain yesterday join-ed Mayor Bloomberg in calling global warming a reality to be dealt with by weaning the U.S. off Mideast oil.
"The world is already feeling the powerful effects of global warming," McCain said in calling for caps on carbon emissions, and "the problem isn't some Hollywood invention."
The Arizona Republican did not directly address Bloomberg's environmental plan, which includes $8 tolls on cars south of 86th St. But a McCain spokesman said the mayor and the senator were in sync on facing up to a greenhouse gas effect that many in the GOP deny.
Much of the McCain plan echoed proposals favored by President Bush for increases in the production of ethanol, nuclear power and hybrid cars.
But McCain also urged a system of credits for industries that "set reasonable caps on carbon and other greenhouse gas emissions." The credits could be traded for a profit to encourage the development of greener technologies, he said.
The energy speech was the third in a series of major addresses by McCain leading up to the "official" announcement of his White House campaign in New Hampshire tomorrow.
Could say he is old enough to know global warming when he sees it since he has seen many such cycles. However, he is not qualified to speak to science even though in a position to influence legislative action.
Bull! They told me I was going to freeze to death when I was young. Now they say I am going to die of the heat now that I am old. Screwem!
Well if anyone knows, McCain knows. squat

John, thank you for your military service.
That said, John, please seek psychiatric help.
One of these days this interglacial will end and the next Ice Age will begin.
Global cooling will kill orders of magnitudes more people than global warming. What do you propose we do about global cooling, Mr. McKeating?
I can’t wait for the first couple of primaries so he will shut up and go away. Well he probably won’t shut up, but at least the press will stop covering him when he comes in 5th or 6th several times .
Senator McCain(and the rest of The Enviro Wackos)should stick to subjects that they have some knowledge of!This”Junk Science”(otherwise known as”Consensus”is just that!!!
I tried that this morning.NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Another nail in the coffin for John, and yes it is another Hollweird pipe dream.
So much crap. So little toilet paper.
I'm sure you are not alone my friend. I just wonder how many have tried by now?
This is simply amazing. I am telling you, a few more news days like this and I am turning off ALL news outlets for good.
These guys can’t get GOOD legislation through Congress to battle people crossing our borders illegally WHICH WE KNOW IS A PROBLEM, yet these good-for-nothings can sit on their thrones and babble on about something that they have FAR less control over IF it in fact is a problem.
I AM DONE! Someone ping me when this nightmare is over.
Tirty-years ago,this same bunch was warning us of a new”Ice Age”!Now they say that any and ALL weather cycles(whether unusually warm or cold)support their posit on”Global Warming”!!Also,there is NO DEBATE(according to Laurie David and Sheryl Crowe,et.al...)!!!I wish I could fly around in a Gulfstream 5 playing”Chicken Little”!!!!!
Another reason to NOT vote for McCain.
Global warming, in whatever iteration it is now, has nothing to do with PEOPLE. It has to do with climate, it has to do with the sun.
This planet is a very tiny speck of dust in an infinite universe. We’re an insignificant nothing out of all of it, and what happens here is dictated solely by the star we call Sol.
As people we have bigger problems than worrying about what the climate is going to do to change. We have an intelligent species on this planet (US) who, no matter what happens to this planet are doomed to die here if we do not use our heads and move on into space.
We don’t know for sure we aren’t the ONLY intelligence species anywhere in this area of our galaxy and we ought to be moving off this planet ANYWAY.
Will it happen? Not in my lifetime, but perhaps in my great-grand children’s time. Until then, we have wars going on, and basic human rights being taken from us on a daily basis by Leftists who are bent on preventing us from defending ourselves, making us dependent upon the government and far worse, ignoring terrorism.
It’s time for a change alright, but NOT to someone like McCain.
