"The world is getting warmer": Romney
Townhall/Reuters ^ | 6/3/2011 | Ros Krasny

Posted on 06/03/2011 12:30:08 PM PDT by AT7Saluki

MANCHESTER, New Hampshire (Reuters) - 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, New Hampshire.

"It's important for us to reduce our emissions of pollutants and greenhouse gases that may be significant contributors."

What a schmuck. But thank you, thank you, Mitt Romney for telling us what you believe. My fear has always been that he would lie and slick talk his way into the Republican nomination. I really am getting less and less worried about this guy.

The world is warming - 15,000 years ago NYC was under a mile of ice.

Hmmm. He "believes" - without sufficient evidence - that humans have caused/contributed to global warming.

That's very nice, Mr. Romney, but we're not talking just about your personal, subjective fantasies, we're talking about national infrastructure policies that, if wrong, could beggar hundreds of millions of people.

Your personal subjective beliefs - absent sufficient evidence - are not a reliable basis for imposing that sort of policies and your view to the contrary merely adds to the demonstration of your own unreliability for national political office.

Did anybody ask him if Man made Global Warming caused Abortions?

I remember him trying to one up Ted Kennedy on the Abortion issue during their Senatorial Debate.

Romney is the original “I was for it before I was against it” guy from MA. Kerry merely copied him when he used the same line during his Presidential run..

I believe Mermaids ride Unicorns side saddle.

Therefore, it must be true.

Interesting. I read all 180 comments so far and not a global warmist in the bunch as far as I could tell. I didn’t realize that the global warming issue had become that clearly a right vs. left issue, but apparently it has.

Not so. Tons of people on the left and in the middle know it's crap too. It's non-partisanly viewed as BS.

I wish Palin would make a decision one way or another. If she’s not running, she should say so, and we could rally around Cain.

“Mitt Romney is running to the left of Obama..”

He ran to the left of Kennedy in 1994, and was the only Republican left off the vicory train that night. The guy is the worst form of scum.

Uh huh, and how much is an artifact of human activity?

Uh no, you just went straight to the what's the solution question
without ever asking the is it a problem question. You get an "F"
for stupidity, lack of logic and not understanding basic politics.

If they existed, I would have to say “yes”.

In other news, I hear Obama wants a new Stimulus Bill to utilize the Green Power of Unicorn Farts, Fairy Dust and Weiner’s Weiner. Unfortunately, only one of those three power sources really exists and the owner denies any responsibility for it.
