Looks like we have a big, new convert to the cause. Anyone else sense that the ground is really starting shift underneath the GOP's feet on global warming?

A leading contender for the Republican presidential nomination declared the debate on global warming "over" yesterday and said that the US would act to save the environment. Senator John McCain's speech at a summit on green policies indicated a crucial change in US political opinion towards climate change.

"I am convinced that we have reached the tipping point and that the Congress of the United States will act with the agreement of the administration," said Mr McCain, who is a favoured candidate in next year's presidential primaries.

"The debate is over, my friends. Now the question is: what do we do? Do we act, do we care enough about the young people of the next generation to act seriously and meaningfully, or are we going to just continue this debate and this discussion?"

.......

Mr McCain said voluntary agreements to reduce emissions from power plants and vehicles were not enough to "change the status quo".
