Romney signals anti-warming push
Ev&bE News ^ | Hannah Northey and Geof Koss

Posted on 11/17/2018 4:31:50 PM PST by House Atreides

Utah Sen.-elect Mitt Romney signaled he may focus on climate change when he's sworn in in January.

In a brief interview with E&E News yesterday, the former Republican presidential nominee said he sees climate change as a "critical area."

....snip

Last year, Romney told college students in St. Louis that he was "concerned about the anti-scientific attitude" expressed by some of his Republican colleagues and that he was convinced humanity has played a part in global warming (Climatewire, Oct. 3).

"I happen to believe that there is climate change, and I think humans contribute to it in a substantial way, and therefore I look with openness to all the ideas that might be able to address that," he said at the time.

When are we conservatives ever going to be able to get real conservative Americans to run for office???

Instead, we get lying “professional politicians” that are no different from the lying democrats...

Why doesn’t the miserablesonofabitch switch parties and get it over with.


Even he is not crazy enough to hop on that crazy train

Don’t worry about Romney, he will probably do what Rand Paul does, bitch and moan about something, just to grab media attention and then vote for anyways the next day. Rand Paul was the master at that.

Mitt is a Massachuttes Republican. The stupid people in Utah thought he is a Mormon.

The same voters who always elected Kennedy And Kerry voted for this clown to be their governor.

Certainly nobody can be surprised that he is a flaming liberal after he was the first in the country to get fag marriage and socialized medicine.

Wtf, is he really this stupid to think this will help him in a 2020 Presidential run against Trump? Not even Egg McMuffin ran on an explicitly liberal platform other than on immigration.

"Carbon tax."

Too much money to be made w/ this scam. Your long term loans for your Solar Panels, the forced high speed rail, various Public Transportation Systems that don't work. They control your Health Care, your Energy and give you a digital Colonoscopy with your social media it is the new feudal serfdom, what California is right now, Silicon Valley and the "others". They can't wait, they are such power freaks. I am so sick of Mitt and the Massachusetts superiority complex he brings with him.

I'd like to see him debate Lord Moncton or Burt Rutan on Global Warming for an Hr. but he won't I don't think he has the balls to do so. Another water boy for the Koch's, K-Street, Murdoch, & Donahue.

Romney signals anti-warming push

Good luck with that this year, Sparky.

It's already howling cold in downstate NYS, and sunspot activity has been very low. Back in reality, a high sunspot count (bursts of energy on the sun) is what gives our teeny little planet a hot year.

"What seems fair to me is for people who believe like Romney to take one for the team and reduce themselves from the human footprint."

It's the ONLY logical conclusion.

Event 4 Dec 2018: Heartland Institute at COP24 in Poland Presenting Climate Science to Counter Conference Alarmism
Data and new report from the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change presented in Poland will show humans are not causing a climate crisis...

“Each year the verdict becomes stronger and clearer that the scientific evidence debunks global warming alarmism,” said James Taylor, senior fellow for environment and energy policy at The Heartland Institute. “While the United Nations’ Conference of the Parties frantically searches for reasons to justify its continued existence, The Heartland Institute is proud to present the science that debunks U.N. alarmism.
“We will also be presenting examples of real-world evidence contradicting important U.N. climate claims,” Taylor said. “We will be delivering the truth that the only thing ‘settled’ about the global warming debate is that U.N. climate reports have little credibility. Skeptics present a far better scientific case.”

SPEAKERS:
Craig Idso, Ph.D., founder, Center for the Study of Carbon Dioxide and Global Change
Horst-Joachim Lüdecke, Ph.D., spokesman, European Institute for Climate and Energy (EIKE)
Dennis Avery, director, Center for Global Food Issues
James Taylor, senior fellow, The Heartland Institute
Wolfgang Müller, general secretary, EIKE

Based on my experiences living here in the Intermountain West most of the LDS’ers I’ve met are good conservatives. OTOH, there’s Harry Reid, Jeff Flake, Kristen Sinema, Mittens

It sounds like only the garbage mormons get elected.
