jbet777 discovered 4 months ago- McCain speech reactions Enviros respond to McCain's new climate plan Posted by Kate Sheppard at 1:23 PM on 12 May 2008 From the page: ""To his credit, Sen. McCain wants to do something serious about global warming, but his proposal falls far short of what the science says we need to do today," said League of Conservation Voters President Gene Karpinski in a written statement. "He has not substantively improved his plan over the bill he introduced years ago -- legislation that the science now shows is out of date." David Hamilton, director of the global warming and energy program at the Sierra Club, echoed that sentiment. As he told Grist, "We've moved a long ways since then, and we now know that cap-and-trade means very different things to different people." Hamilton noted that McCain left open a lot of questions because he was vague on issues like how carbon credits would be allocated in his cap-and-trade scheme and what percentage of emissions reductions could be achieved through the purchase of offsets. "This is a fundamental issue of how much polluters are going to assume the burden, and how much are we going to put that burden on the taxpayers," said Hamilton."
