McCain: You Know What We Need To Do Something About? Global Warming.

Apparently he's going to spend the next week or so advocating for action on climate change.

In an implicit rebuke to the Bush administration, McCain will say in remarks prepared for delivery at the Vestas Wind Energy Training Facility in Portland, Oregon. "I will not shirk the mantle of leadership that the United States bears. I will not permit eight long years to pass without serious action on serious challenges." Referring to the Kyoto Protocols on greenhouse gas emissions the U.S. never signed, McCain added "I will not accept the same dead-end of failed diplomacy that claimed Kyoto."

"We stand warned by serious and credible scientists across the world that time is short and the dangers are great," McCain will say. ""The most relevant question now is whether our own government is equal to the challenge."

But wait, there's more! He's also using some of his limited resources on a TV ad dedicated to the subject.

McCain says his plan isn't high taxes and regulations. Some beg to differ. Oh and the people who like high taxes and regulation? A lot of them are on board with McCain's plan.

Boy, I am glad I live in NY and don't have to feel bad about not voting for the guy, even against Obama.

UPDATE: Below the fold a very special Slushop!
