McCain the Reformer

McCain Differs With Bush on Climate Change - New York Times

PORTLAND, Ore. — Senator John McCain sought to distance himself from President Bush on Monday as he called for a mandatory limit on greenhouse gas emissions in the United States to combat climate change.

Mr. McCain, in a speech at a wind power company, also pledged to work with the European Union to diplomatically engage China and India, two of the world’s biggest polluters, if they refuse to participate in an international agreement to slow global warming.

Here it comes: The McCain-Kennedy-Feingold Greenhouse Gas Reform Bill mandating that businesses must spend hundreds of billions of dollars to prevent greenhouse gas emissions.

Constitutional? He doesn’t give a damn. If it’s a choice between halting global warming and the constitution, he’ll take the global warming scenario.
