Here we go:
International responsibility also means preserving our common home. The risks of global warming have no borders. Americans and Europeans need to get serious about substantially reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the coming years or we will hand over a much-diminished world to our grandchildren. We need to reinvigorate the US-European partnership on climate change ...

I have introduced legislation that would require a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, but that is just a start. We need a successor to Kyoto, a cap-and-trade system ...

It is better to be feared than loved. No matter what we do, not everybody will love us, but we can make them fear us.

"and is the Republican nominee for the 2008 US presidential elections"

Really did I sleep through the convention?

We need to strengthen our transatlantic alliance as the core of a new global compact

The risks of global warming have no borders. Americans and Europeans need to get serious about substantially reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the coming years or we will hand over a much-diminished world to our grandchildren.

The bottom line is that none of us can act as if our only concerns are within our own borders. We cannot define our national interests so narrowly that we fail to see how intimately our fate is bound up with that of the rest of humanity.


It sounds like socialist/globalist John McCain is speaking on behalf of George Soros and the CFR. Voting for McCain will be tantamount to kissing our national sovereignty good bye.

“New technologies hold great promise. We need to unleash the power and innovation of the marketplace in order to meet our environmental challenges. Right now safe, climate-friendly nuclear energy is a critical way both to improve the quality of our air and to reduce our dependence on foreign energy sources. “

AMEN!!!

I’m a reg’lar clairvoyant! What I predicted a few days ago...

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1986385/posts

““Bull”

There’s going to be a lot of “bull” on the 20th [of March].

...McCain talking about “climate change” and “international cooperation”, the latter code words for cap and trade. Heck, he may feel secure enough to say “cap and trade.””

Heck, he did feel secure enough to say “cap and trade”!

I’ve noticed lately Hillary doesn’t say it—publicly.

Clairvoyant you are! And it even came a few days earlier than expected.

Keep an eye on the Guardian and others for more Op-eds by ‘Johnny Mac’.

McCain is going to sign us up to ship out billions of dollars to other countries to buy the right to make things while China gets a pass? No thanks.
