FCIR: When Charlie Crist was Florida`s attorney general and preparing to run for governor in 2005, he sat down in a private room at the Biltmore Hotel in Miami with U.S. Sen. John McCain.

To have them take fright and agree to pull in their belts on climate change is as unusual as having them pull together to create the United Nations and other world institutions at the end of the Second World War.

But just as those heady post-Second World War days quickly turned to the Cold War, a hopeful statement of intentions, no matter...
