Yeah, McCain won't win the grand old party's nomination, not with this giving in to the socialist-liberal treehugging agenda. To rally the base, the GOP will want someone who will stand up to the the New World Order environmentalists and tell them that we can pollute as much as we want, because it's in the bible that we have dominion over nature.

Seriously though, I think it's interesting. Since Reagan, the republican strategy has been to rally the base, and you don't do that by taking controversial opinions - you do that by holding fast to the average opinion of evangelicals. So either McCain feels that the evidence is too overwhelming and it's his duty as a policy maker to do something even if it means risking a GOP nomination, or it's a sign that there's a lot more evangelical greens.
