SALT LAKE CITY — U.S. Sen. Mitt Romney said Monday that he believes climate change is happening and human activity is a significant contributor.

During a speech at the conservative Sutherland Institute in Salt Lake City, the senator acknowledged that the position is rare among his fellow Republicans, but one that younger people seem to respond to more strongly than older conservatives.

“In some respects, (by speaking with newer conservatives), I’ll be able to make inroads with some of the young people coming along,” he said.

“”I’ll be able to make inroads with some of the young people coming along,” he said.””

To what end? Running for another office, Mitt? There are other things that the younger generation prefer also. Is he going to go along with their garbage beliefs also?

“”but one that younger people seem to respond to more strongly than older conservatives.””

Yeah - doggone - those older conservatives. They don’t know what they’re doing! I guess he’s playing a Hillary game - they kept me from winning!!!

Not everything in the world is connected. Seeing connections in everything where they don't actually exist can get to be a problem. There is a word for that.

I really doubt Romney has anything to do with pedophilia. But if Epstein's group is going down, wouldn't pedophiles be more scared now, and less likely to mouth off?

Epstein is dead. The same people scared of Trump finding sht on them are of the same club of Epstein. Epstein is a particular aspect business of this whole multiple type of crime entrerprise. It is connected. There is as much incentive to stop a Trump on the Hillary fraud as there is to stop him on the Pedo thing.

These people simply do not want him there for various reasons, and one of the provable reason is Epstein pedo gang.

So nice having a real president instead of having to choose between a Marxist and a baboon.

FU Mutt. What a scumbucket sleaze bag. I am sure your bachelors of english, and your masters of business administration make you way more qualified to pontificate on this subject than my measely math and engineering degrees plus experience in fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, ocean cycles including a 25 year obsession studying the subject including natural history. It is amazing how many previous weather events were much more extreme even in the not so distant past.

But I am sure many of your pals are heavily invested in “green” energy and were expecting to leech off the free taxpayer subsidy machine for a long time. I am willing to bet your own portfolio has been impacted. I am old enough to know every single issue is always about the apportionment of dollars. Everything is always about money, which is why you hate Trump so much. He threatens your free money fountain. Remember Enron? That was about carbon credits with the expectation that congress would mandate and subsidize them. What happened when the bill failed?

Romney's take on AGW in 2012 was much less certain,
his transformation to the dark side is now complete!

Jim, please disallow posts about Mitt. He is soooooo pointless to USA future. He should be considered a liberal, or illiberal as the other enemies of USConstitution.

the senator acknowledged that the position is rare among his fellow Republicans,

How many positions can he hold that are "rare among his fellow Republicans" can he hold before people acknowledge that maybe he's not really a Republican?
