Climate Change a Security Issue, McCain Says [2007]
Washington Post ^ | April 24, 2007

Posted on 05/27/2015 10:47:29 PM PDT by ObamahatesPACoal

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) cast global warming and America's dependence on foreign oil as national security issues in a speech on energy policy yesterday, the last of three addresses designed to outline the foundation of his soon-to-be announced presidential campaign.

"National security depends on energy security," said McCain in the speech, which was part of the Center for Strategic and International Studies' "Decision 2008" program. "The problem isn't a Hollywood invention, nor is doing something about it a vanity of Cassandra-like hysterics."

Hilary’s gonna suck all the $ out of politics for us. A wonderful public service by this selfless public servant.

John McCain was insufferable the first time around. Reading a rerun is torture. He needs to retire where he can play with polar bears, and forget about the climate.

I read his story or was it in a book, and yes,he suffered greatly at the hands of the VC. However, I agree with your point - he should have taken a pension years ago. Heck, he doesn’t even need a job, his wife is filthy rich. Anheuser Busch, doncha know? Keeping the alcoholics well watered is a nasty job. If he had played his cards right, he might have ended up in ketchup and pickles, instead of booze. Oh wait, what am I saying? Theresa Heinz Kerry is a lush, from what I hear. Now, if I’m wrong on this, I apologize.

> No, McFool, it’s a Wash DC invention. A hoax, a scam and a tool made by and for elitist scum like you.

You can bet on there being big money in promoting this hoax. I’m guessing earmarks for the Senator’s state for projects that cost in the hundreds of millions or billions with kickbacks resulting in big donations from the favored contractor that wins the bid.

I gotta sneak and turn the thermostat down to 70 after my wife's asleep. Then she catches it and jacks it back up to 74.

Can I come live with you? LOL

You were captured, apparently, by emotionalism. Have your regrets, just don’t pump your crap here, okay? I guess the little broken leg, a bum pilot suffered, was unrecognized, in your stupid scenario about low sho McCain. So, you don’t know john boy’s wounds.

I do not think that many politicians really know the difference between climate and weather. The words are NOT interchangeable!

Climate is the average weather in a place over many years. While the weather can change in just a few hours, climate takes hundreds, thousands, even millions of years to change.

Yes, the Earth has been experiencing climate change for billions of years. No, mankind has nothing to do with climate change; the Sun has everything to do with climate change, no matter what lawyers, politicians, and alchemists are being paid to tell you!

This is how we ended up with the war on poverty and the war on drugs. They were sold as security issues. Everybody know you can do things in a “war” that you can’t get away with in non-war times. The word war should be reserved for a shooting conflict between nations.

I’ll have you know that the “Senator” is a graduate of the Dale Carnegie School AND has read “How to Win Friends and Influence People”. So he highly resents your remarks good sir! [and if he ever sees you, he’ll beat you to a pulp] :0)
