Article Excerpts:

Sen. John McCain stopped at Liberty State Park today to tout his record on the environment and global climate change.

"I am proud of my record on the environment," said McCain, speaking to several dozen reporters at the park in Jersey City.

Flanked by Sen. Joseph Lieberman and former Gov. Tom Kean, the Republican presidential hopeful said he was pushing environmental issues in Washington long before his Democratic rivals, Sen. Barack Obama and Sen, Hillary Clinton.

Kean compared McCain's record to that of Teddy Roosevelt. Lieberman credited him for tackling climate change and preserving million of pristine acres in his home state of Arizona.

Democrats, meanwhile, accused McCain of embellishing his environmental efforts. . . .

McCain was scheduled to head to Sandy Hook National Park, but a forecast of heavy rain and winds forced his campaign to make other arrangements.
