The Post-Bush Climate

Published: May 14, 2008

John McCain has been engaged in the fight against global warming for years, even at the expense of breaking with Republican orthodoxy and with President Bush on the issue. But it was still an important moment this week when Mr. McCain, the presumed Republican presidential nominee, decided to raise the profile of climate change in the 2008 campaign. We have clearly entered the post-Bush era of policy and politics on climate change. However this election turns out, the United States will have a president who supports mandatory cuts in greenhouse gases. It is possible to begin to believe in the prospect of serious Congressional action.

Of course that proves nothing, does it? "It was a fine parade, everybody was out of step but my little Jimmy."

You know, there is nobody here but the five or six of us, and i for one am getting tired of haggling with the same stubborn people.

I am going to redefine my use of this blog. See my next blog post
