It’s Time to Start Paying Attention to John McCain’s Ideas on Climate Change

Senator McCain plans to “hijack” landmark legislation on global warming. The “Lieberman-Warner Climate Security Act” falls short of the 80% reduction of 1990 greenhouse gas emissions levels as recommended by scientists, and with the proposals supported by John McCain, it could be “the greatest greenwash of our generation.” Not only does the bill give carbon permits valued at one trillion dollars to the fossil fuel industry for free, McCain will only support the legislation if it takes funds away from clean energy sources, like wind and solar, and gives them to the nuclear power industry.
