Former Congressman and current Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum is turning up the heat on the issue of man-made global warming, calling it "patently absurd," a stance putting him at odds with perceived frontrunner Mitt Romney.

With the conservative GOP candidates, you have to study hard to find whether there are any differences between them. With Romney, you have to do research to find out if he differs from 0bama.

The article gives a good rundown of the positions on the warming hoax held by most of the candidates.

“...perceived frontrunner...Romney”

He's only ‘perceived’ by people with NO PERCEPTION!

I heard him discuss this with Rush yesterday. His answers indicated that he is a lot more informed on this than RINOmney, and quantum levels above the Obamaloon and the MSM minions.

He’s done his homework.

Well.

I heard RS on Rush yesterday, I believe it was. He was pretty much cliche’ through most of the questions, but he did hit this one on Gore-Bull warming out of the park.

Paraphrase - “so I’m expected to believe that a trace amount of a trace gas in the atmosphere is causing this when there are much larger amounts of other greenhouse gases? (i.e., water vapor)”

That part was good.

I truly despise the left and their conflating of terms (lying), but, I shouldn’t be surprised since the founder of their ideology is the father of lies.

MAN MADE Global Warming
or
MAN CAUSED Climate Change

are both absurd.

The climate changes all the time, since the earth began. It warms, it cools, it stabilizes for a while, corresponding mostly with SOLAR OUTPUT.

The left conflates the actual occurrence of climate changing with us being the cause of it, because this is a vehicle to advance communism.

Yet there was a thread yesterday where I was bickering with about 20 other Freepers that were calling Santorum a RINO and saying he was positioning himself as Romney’s VEEP. I am not likely to vote for Santorum, but not everyone not named Sarah Palin is a RINO. That term is way overused.

Mr. Santorum went way up in my view when I heard him on Rush yesterday. Glad to see someone in congress is standing up to this garbage. It’s amazing what people accept as gospel. Had a very heated ‘discussion’ last night with fellow members of my band over this very subject. The two believe it’s settled science, even when I point out all the scientist who DO NOT agree, and the whole email scam involving the University of East Anglia in the UK. The fact that glaciers are increasing, etc., and also that warming would be FAR MORE preferable to cooling, etc. Some people refuse to take the blinders off.

Human produced CO2 accounts for 0.117% of the total greenhouse effect.

The problem is that there are several candidates splitting the conservative vote. The total for those candidates far exceeds that for Romney.

So, how does this news article play into your theory that Rick Santorum is a RINO, conservative impersonator who is looking to curry favor with Romney to get the VP slot?

I've always thought Rick was a good man.

His defeat came because of a lot of negative bullshit (even from here) that targetted his place of residence ... here in Pa. or in Wash.DC.

It was petty, but it worked.

I still like Sarah a lot, but, the field is young yet .......

Good for you Santorum, AGW is the biggest fraud of all time and only hucksters, morons, and dupes unwilling to admit it.
