I can ignore any pre-”late 2009” comments made about climate change by anyone who has changed their position.
What happened in 2009?
In November 2009, the East Anglia Research database was hacked and the fraudulent climate change research was revealed to the world.
Those who had relied on the integrity of the scientific community received a jolt. The honest ones reconsidered and changed their position GIVEN that they now realized they had been lied to about the real situation.
That is why Newt gets a pass on this one. So does everyone else who is less concerned about climate change today than they were pre-2009.
ALL of Newt’s former positions, to include the Pelosi video, were pre-2009. In fact the Pelosi ad was in 2008.
Yeah, before he decided he wanted to run for President and realized he needed Conservative votes.
Sorry, he does not get a pass. Almost all of us knew that global warming was a colossal hoax and said so loudly back then. If Newt is so smart, why then did he not realize it, assuming that he didn't (and that's a BIG 'if')?
To believe this you would have to say Newt is stupid. I believe he is calculating. He's been around D.C. long enough to know EXACTLY what was going on with the carbon credit bs and when it was more advantageous to him, to reverse sides.
Shouldn’t common sense have told Newt waaay back in 2008/2009 that global warming was a farce? I saw that myself and I have no inside info.
Whether he changed because of studies or because of conservative opinion, it was late and has he really changed.
It’s important that our candidate is firmly opposed to stifling EPA regulations because of the phony global warming thing.
