McCain won’t regulate greenhouse gas emissions
The truth spills out!
John McCain and Sarah Palin seem to be supporting technology that would help decrease the rising greenhouse gas levels, or so says their official website. What McCain’s “climate change” position doesn’t tell you is that John doesn’t plan to do a thing about global warming.

It’s like asking metro passengers to move towards the center of the train car in order to allow for more people to cram into the train. Some passengers will do it automatically, but others will stand near the doors blocking everyone else’s way in and out of the train car.
A voluntary cap-and-trade system, optional wind and solar technology, and a recycle-if-you-feel-like-it mentality will not save the planet. If reduction of GHG emissions will not be a law, it won’t mean much.
