GOP platform may have global warming plank
UPI ^

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26 (UPI) -- The Republican platform may include a first-ever plank on global warming, an examination of a draft document indicated.

"Increased atmospheric carbon has a warming effect on the Earth," The Hill reported the draft document as saying. "While the scope and long term consequences of this warming effect are the subject of ongoing research, we believe the United States should take measured and reasonable steps today."

Sen. John McCain, poised to become the party's presidential nominee next week during the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minn., is a proponent of tackling global warming.

At what point has a party diverged from its base so much that loyalty reasonably evaporates?

It's more like the GOP has been incrementally merging with it's socialist base over many years.

Thanks for the link. It's an excellent reminder how far the Republicrats have strayed form the Constitution.

Excellent!

Carbon dioxide, per say, is not the enemy.

The idea that we can substantially control or ‘change’ the earths weather(at this point in our understanding)is absurd.

I wholeheartedly agree that we should employ some strategy of adaptation such as you have put forth.

This seems practical.

Why is this idea not being studied with a view toward implementation?... Or is it?

Thanks for the post.

McPain illustrating his affinity for demonstrating room temp I.Q. just when he is on the upswing. We can thank that bag of *ssh*les that advises him.

Time to call the National Republican Party and tell them what else are they going to take from the Democrat Party platform:

Their number is: 1-202-863-8500

When I call the RNC to criticize them for considering global warming in their platform, I will thank them for this:

“GOP takes a hard line on abortion for its platform”

“Translated: We have no clue what we’re talking about, but we better do something about it.”

Fortunately, many of the proposed things to do also have the positive effect of reducing our need to import foreign oil from people who hate us and will use our money against us.
