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

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.

Will nature ever rid us of this troublesome bishop...

I believe he holds the Office of Bishopric which seems appropriate.

Climate change is one big scam to redistribute wealth and make money for the elites.

The ONLY “idea” I’ve ever heard proposed to “deal with climate change” is tax hikes or otherwise making energy more expensive for Americans.

If these a-holes were really so concerned why can’t they come up with other ideas? Maybe cause the tax hikes are the goal of the “crisis”.

This is how I shut up "carbonists" or climate cycle deniers.

I ask them this simple question: Because of man dumping carbon dioxide into the atmosphere does this mean there will NEVER be another ice age? If that we true shouldn't we all be celebrating instead of panicking?

Alright Willard, which mankind contributed to the global warming which ended last ice age about 12k years ago? You must think it was the cave man burning too many sticks using flintstones, right? You should change your name from Mitt Willard Romney to Ditt Weird Romney.

Depending on one’s point of view, he’s right. Humans do contribute to “global warming” because of our behavior.

Truth is, we believe and act in ways that are contrary to and are an affront to the One who created the world and all that inhabits it.

It is He who controls the weather, not us.

We are the idiots who tell ourselves that CO2, something He made essential to life, is actually a pollutant that the EPA should regulate!

Whew...that is some breath-taking human stupidity right there, man...

As it is now? We are in serious need of an attitude adjustment and we are getting one now.

More coming, too, no doubt about that.

Global warming is a global agenda to extract more money from citizens for a non-existent problem. When global cooling takes hold in a few years due to the sun’s activity down phase, climate apologists will take credit for the cooling even though the majority of people will be ill prepared for the cold weather. Let alone farmers and northerly areas of the globe.

It’s pretty bad when you have people wanting an old RINO like Hatch back instead of this preening used car salesman.

...in our political system, s**t rolls uphill.

That is one of the pithiest one liners I've seen on this forum in many moons. You should make it your new tagline.
