This was one of the central points from my long analysis, No climate for old men: McCain would appoint all the wrong people to key positions, and they would undermine or block the key policies needed to tackle warming cost effectively. This stunning interview confirms my worst fears.

This was where I was headed. He would make all the right noises but appoint the wrong people. But, if this bit is correct, he might not even make all the right noises.

More than a little like his position vis a vis lobbyists. The PR says one thing, the way he staffs his campaign says precisely the opposite. Not hard to tell which is operative.

As for the PR of all this, my guess is the McCain camp is still getting all their stuff lined up. They've been focused on rounding up the right and the far right and, given the names of some of his religious advisers, the further still right.

Now they'll have to go after the independents to win.
