Now I Know Why They Call it Hot Air
Michelle Malkin notes that over 31,000 scientists have signed a petition rejecting man-made global warming.
It’s about time, I say.
But she chides John McCain for paying any mind to Al Gore’s fevered ravings:
“If I am elected President,” John McCain told voters last week, “I will work with anyone who sincerely wants to get this country moving again. I will listen to any idea that is offered in good faith and intended to help solve our problems, not make them worse.”
…
How about talking to these scientists before he pushes any further with his climate change agenda?
Fair point. But why single him out? The quote she cites is responsible and rational—it could easily be read as critical of the enviro-nitwits.
Now, I know McCain has paid lip service to the climate change movement—but what serious candidate for the Presidency wouldn’t?
Why not hold McCain solely responsible for Social Security reform while we’re at it? No one’s touching it, and as far as I know there’s no disputing the impending bankruptcy. How dare he not touch the third rail of American politics!
Maybe McCain believes the global warming hype, maybe he doesn’t. But good luck to him swimming against that tide. He’d drown like a polar bear. I have a feeling events will render the whole issue moot soon enough anyway. We’ll either fry or we won’t (I’m betting against), regardless of what a candidate for President has to say.
In the meantime, vote for the guy, for pete’s sake. Are you insane?
