asting no time distancing himself from President Bush on an issue that has long divided them, Senator John McCain yesterday called the White House stance on climate change "terribly disappointing" and said inaction in the face of mounting scientific data was unjustified.

Two weeks after the end of a campaign in which he stumped for Mr. Bush's re-election, Mr. McCain, Republican of Arizona, is convening a Senate hearing today on the human effect on climate and what to do about it.

Mr. Bush, citing the cost to the economy and what the administration describes as the uncertainty of the science, has opposed restrictions on carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases since early 2001, when he abandoned a pledge he made in his first presidential campaign to restrict carbon dioxide from power plants.

In contrast, for three years Mr. McCain has pushed for a bill he wrote with Senator Joseph I. Lieberman, Democrat of Connecticut, that would create the first, modest curbs on greenhouse gases.

"This is a very time-sensitive issue," he said in an interview yesterday.

Fear not, dear soldier, for the Second Coming is upon us! Climate, schmimate! After the locusts and frogs and fire and brimstone are done with all the evildoers, thy land shall be lush and thine air shall be divinely clear!

Pollute to your heart's content ...

What is scary is how many Iraqis have died via our constant bombing of their country since 1991 ... via their water being posisoned via the after effects of depleted uranium that goes into the air once our bombs detonate

We have ravaged this country ....

 

[eek.]

Its gets worse.

Once the polar ice caps melt the low lying redneck south will be flooded and they'll all migrate to the liberal Kerry areas.

God will punish y'all. :>Grin>

Volhound,

You should be concerned that in the summer the Smokies have almost as much smog as LA. You might be able to see the Smokies but I can walk to a park entrance and the nearest hiking trail in less than 30 minutes from one of my homes.

 

[volhound]

congratulations on the location of one of your homes, but smog will be the last thing people are worrying about if the water rises like these doomsdayers are saying.

if the water does rise, then atlanta and most of NC will be under water, which is where most of smog comes from anyway, so it will no longer be a problem. i have to be fair and mention that some comes fro TVA coal burning steam plants here in TN, but i prefer to blame them instead.
eek was trying to be an ******* toward southerners and i just wanted to quell his ignorant fantasies of the south being underwater.
btw, i too own other property, but is literally across the street from cumberland gap national park - can be hiking on the trails in 30 seconds - i can go there too when the water rises and fire and brimstone come from the sky
thanks
