It's terrific hearing McCain talk about global warming! [View All]

No, I'm not going to vote for him, but to the extent that global warming becomes a non-political issue, the more we ALL benefit.

So if McCain loses (which we all hope), I think it will be increasingly difficult for the republicans to prop up their anti-science thing as we go forward. Even if he wins, if Obama makes climate change a major debate point, the Republicans will have to suck it up and take a real position.

I truly do hope Obama makes a major issue out of the climate change issue. If everyone starts to believe this, I don't think McCain's approach will hold up. Lets face it - they come to this issue about 20 years late. But more importantly, if both parties can come to consensus on a reasonable approach going forward, maybe we finally will have mileage standard increases, carbon trapping in coal mills and all the rest.

Its just something the upcoming GE is making me feel good about. :)
