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.

Buying into the greatest scam in history, global warming, is "getting it"?
WooHoo! Go Al Gore! /s
/barf
If anyone our there knows of a state or region of the US that is looking to secede from the union, please send me a ping so I can look to move there.
We are going down the path of unchecked socialism and madness in general. I’ll fight it out till the end, but it would be nice to have a way of jumping off of this ship wreck...
This is another good reason to not give to McCain or the Republican party, but to still grudgingly vote for the idiot this fall.
Nahhh...this statement sure isn't a battle cry against global warming. All is says is that CO2 has a warming effect on the earth (that is true), we don't understand it, and we should take some reasonable steps to deal with it.
It doesn't even say a thing about manmade warming.
I don’t buy the Global Warming crap. I just know the lesser of two evils when I see them. I’m planning to secure The White House, THEN plan the Revolution. :)
But, we’ve had this conversation before; no need to bore everyone yet again.
Republican Socialism is ok!
FR pseudoconservatives told me so.
Ah. Comes out. Once a socialist, always a socialist. Just vote for the one that tastes better.
Last time I checked. The GOP HAD control of the WH and Congress from 2000 to 2006. McTraitor is THE MORON who BROKERED the Senate DEAL to KEEP the RATS in control. Please stop rewriting history like LIBERALS do.
Ummmm..Jumpin Jim gave the Senate to the Dems from 2000 til 2002. They never had a filibuster proof majority.
Without RINOs, they never had a majority at all.
How long did GWB try to get his energy policy passed?
The problem is yours with history.
You still don’t understand that all the politicking is over and you have two choices only.
Do you prefer Obama and the Dems over McCain and the Republicans or not?
If you’re not gonna vote, you don’t count at all and are wasting my time.
Socialist my *ss....
No. You’re a leftwinger from DU. Stop rewriting history.
McBama admitted he was toying with the idea of jumping until Jeffords did.
No go away.
Lettuce hope THOSE changes stick!
Who else is on the republican platform committee?
You enable it, and just espoused it.
Espousing McCain is socialism. You are a socialist. But like one, you won’t admit to the truth. Socialists don’t like truth. Thats why they’re all idiots.
“I’d like to take a plank to their heads.”
Ditto
OMG I've been found out!
Sorry if I hurt your feelings....
Pimples on a fleas ass are more irritating that you. Your smugness however rivals Obama.
He couldn’t do it by himself.
