“On Monday, John McCain delivered a major talk on global warming. At a Danish wind-energy firm. In Portland, Oregon. Surely the irony of a South-Western Senator, who spends so much of his time on the Eastern Seaboard, giving a talk about carbon emissions in the North-West — at company owned by Danes (whose execs no doubt must periodically make trans-continental, trans-Atlantic trips) in the middle of a national tour/campaign — escapes no one. How much would America’s green-house gas emissions go down if Presidential candidates stopped frolicking about the country? Better yet, how much would ‘our’ green-house emissions go down if Presidential candidates stopped talking so much?” (05/15/08)
