Quit slandering Newt by saying he believes in global warming.
I’m guessing that was his evil clone, then?

Do some research...what do you think he was cozying up with Natzi Pelousy, Al Gwhore, and Jean-Fraud Kerry?
Cathy Zoi, CEO of Gores Palo Alto-based Alliance for Climate Protection, said the ad reminds people that climate change is not a partisan issue. By bringing together top Republicans and Democrats, we are demonstrating both to the American public and to lawmakers that we can and must overcome partisan differences to solve the climate crisis, she said.

Gingrichs appearance with Pelosi in the 2008 Al Gore ad built on his debate with John Kerry the year before where he essentially agreed with Democrats assumptions about global warming. Gingrich said he accepts there is a general consensus among scientists that Earth has gotten warmer over the last century and that humans have contributed to that problem, conceding that his views might not find favor with some of his fellow conservatives.

Romney echoed Gingrich on the theory of man-made global warming as recently as June 2011: [ ] I believe the world is getting warmer. I cant prove that, but I believe based on what I read that the world is getting warmer. And number two, I believe that humans contribute to that. I dont know how much our contribution is to that, because I know there have been periods of greater heat and warmth in the past, but I believe that we contribute to that. So I think its important for us to reduce our emissions of pollutants and greenhouse gases that may well be significant contributors to the climate change and the global warming that youre seeing.

Gingrich, despite recent opposition to cap-and-trade, has a record of proposing new regulation on economic activity due to his belief in the theory of man-made global warming.In 1989, Gingrich co-sponsored the Global Warming Prevention Act [ ]. Gingrich also once advocated imposed mandatory limits on carbon dioxide emissions, but has recently become a vocal critic of the cap-and-trade bills.

Romney also now officially opposes a cap-and-trade scheme, but his record as Massachusetts governor includes unprecedented restrictions on carbon emissions. Mr. Romney joined activists outside an aging, coal-fired plant in 2003 to show his commitment to the emissions caps. I will not create jobs or hold jobs that kill people, and that plant, that plant kills people, he said.
On Dec. 7, 2005, the Romney administration unveiled the final orders. These carbon emission limits will provide real and immediate progress in the battle to improve our environment, then-Gov. Romney said in a press release touting Massachusetts as the first and only state to set CO2 emissions limits on power plants.
