...denial-and-delay wing of the Republican Party didn't like it, but as McCain hopscotched from New Jersey to Oregon to Washington to Ohio, the climate crisis dominated each of his days. "We need to deal with the central facts of rising temperatures, rising waters, and all the endless troubles that global warming will bring," he said on May 12, jabbing the air at a Portland, Oregon, wind-turbine facility. "Time is short and the dangers are great. The most relevant question now is whether our own government is equal to the challenge." In case anyone missed the message...
...That's a non-starter for China, since the U.S. has been spewing C02 for more than a century, and virtually all of those emissions are still in the atmosphere.

Though details are still being firmed up, the campaign says it expects to offer enough documents and medical opinions to lay to rest any concerns about the candidate's condition.

Ministers from the two countries are expected to meet in a few days as part of an ongoing dialogue aimed at strengthening ties. But Pakistan's leadership is split between President Pervez Musharraf and a fractious new coalition government, which overwhelmingly defeated Musharraf's party in February elections.
