Mitt Romney: Climate change is happening, humans a significant contributor
Washington Times ^ | Aug 19, 2019 | Morgan Smith

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.

If you have some fantasy that this is somehow a new stance for him, it behooves you to read up on Mitt Romneycare’s term as Governor of Massachusetts.

Then look at how many of the people he put in charge of various functions were later called by Obama to hold those same positions at the national level.

This is Romney being the same as always.

If he is angling for Rat votes, he should change parties.

No one is going to be perceived as far enough left for the Rat vote if he has an (R) after his name. No amount of pandering sells Republican to Rat voters.

Rush was talking about this today in regards to Republicans who, although they downplay MMGW, nevertheless agree to make concession.

He even cited Romeny as his example.

“He is probably set-up to make a mint off the scam.”

Exactly what I was thinking.

Scumbag Nit Wit Mitt wants to make a bundle of the carbon credit scam.

He is envious that President Trump has more money than him.

THIS “RENEWABLE ENERGY’ FACT PROVES IT A FRAUD!
“Then there are the hydrocarbons and electricity needed to undertake all the mining activities and to fabricate the batteries themselves. In rough terms, it requires the energy equivalent of about 100 barrels of oil to fabricate a quantity of batteries that can store a single barrel of oil-equivalent energy.”
Mark P. Mills, Manhattan Institute Physicist who has written extensively on the subject.

Every time Mittens opens his mouth he confirms my opinion that he wouldn’t have been any better choice for President than the turd.

Shut up Mitt. When Americans want any crap out of you, we’ll unscrew your head and dip it out. You’re one of the losers that gave us Obama. Get a job.

It appears that Mitt Romney’s purpose in this world is to deceive.

I don’t want to hear ever again that Mitt Romney is the nicest guy in the world.

Mitt Romney is evil.

Rich idiots like Mitt need to give away 99% of their riches in order to begin to PROVE they believe in Global Warming. Let them earn minimum wage and live in the world they want to create on that.

He considers himself ‘conservative’ ? Really?

His actions and utterances say otherwise.

On many issues we can see loser Romney is trying to position his church so they won’t be a target of progressives.

<< On immigration, Romney said he shared the angst of Democrats over family separations at the U.S.-Mexico border, calling it a “very dark chapter” in the country’s history. >>

Willard sure didn’t share that angst in 2012 when he was running against the very guy (Obama) who started the family separation policy.

Because he’s believed that from the beginning. When he was Massachuetts governor, he signed a cap-and-trade agreement for the state into law. That eventually branched out to become the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, which includes my state, Maryland.
