John McCain Equivocates


John McCain, the GOP flag bearer in the 2008 presidential race in USA on climate change:
‘You've said that global warming would be one of three key issues for your presidency. Why do you think the issue is important?
McCain: It's like Tony Blair said: Suppose we're wrong, and there's no such thing as greenhouse-gas emissions, and we adopt green technologies. All we've done is give our kids a better planet. But suppose we're right, and do nothing? Then what kind of a legacy are we handing on to future generations of Americans? I think we ought to frame the debate that way’. Curl from. www.grist.org

Cynic: Someone should tell Blair and McCain that if we are wrong; we would have wasted precious time, money and energy that could be used to develop our educational system and help the less privileged and the developing world on a castle in the air. Our children would laugh at our stupidity.

(Cynics strongly hope we are wrong on climate change for the sake of our children).

And by the way the Americans seem to be depending too much on what the Brits say. It took Brown to figure out way to go on the financial crisis while Bush and his people were busy foot dragging on what to do. McCain is already looking up to the Brits for his environmental policy ideology, should he win the white house. Thank God he is going to lose!
