Republican White House candidate Mitt Romney said Friday that global warming is real and that human activity is among the causes.
Reuters reports from New Hampshire:
Presidential hopeful Mitt Romney broke with Republican orthodoxy on Friday by saying he believes that humans are responsible, at least to some extent, for climate change.
"I believe the world is getting warmer, and I believe that humans have contributed to that," he told a crowd of about 200 at a town hall meeting in Manchester, N.H.
"It's important for us to reduce our emissions of pollutants and greenhouse gases that may be significant contributors."
The story later adds:
The United States cannot go it alone in attempting to trim emissions levels and give a free pass to countries such as China and Brazil, Romney said. "It's not called American warming, it's called global warming," he said.
You really wanna make me hate this guy.
Oh, crap.
Oh, hell, why don’t we just nominate Al Gore.
Romney’s staff is full of global warming extremists.
I’m depressed.
Now that he is (almost) certain to be the nominee, he doesn’t have to pretend to be conservative anymore.
Vote for Romney and May the Odds Ever be in Your Favor...
Keep on keepin on. I try to love you.
We are in an awful lot of trouble......THANKS GOP!
Gee, he sounds like Obama
I'm sorry, SoConPubbie, but that's just not so: he delivers first class concession speeches.
What do you expect? He gets his science advice from one of the head watermelons - James Hansen.
This should alarm everyone, not just because of the global warming/carbon tax angle, but also for what it sys about the advisors Romney surrounds himself with. You can expect that should it come to judicial appointments, Romney will reach in the same direction, i.e. leftwards, for his advice on Constitutional philosophy and judicial selections.
RIP Grand Old Party. You can do better than mittens. There is no way mittens can or will take on Zero and beat him. OWS and Obamacare will do him in.
Time to shake that Etch-A-Sketch!
Another freakin’ Nixon. Great.
