(borrowing from a comment I read somewhere in the last few months) Mitt Romney is to climate science what Cap’n Crunch is to maritime law.

So doesn't matter if it's true, just if it is "popular". Talk about pandering.

Punk ass RINO.

Romney’s just spilling this Bravo Sierra from that piehole of his because he is a never Trumpster. What the hell is wrong with you Utah? RECALL THIS PREENING LOUDMOUTH.

Anyone that states a claim is on the hook to provide the metrics to prove that those statements can withstand cross-examination in a court of law. Otherwise general, sweeping statements are nothing but conjecture and most likely hearsay.
