Good Grief. Romney Now Says Man May Not Be the Cause of Global Warming Climate Change

This is so confusing.

Over two months ago, Mitt Romney told a New Hampshire audience, “I believe the world is getting warmer, and I believe that humans have contributed to that.” But, the world has changed since then and suddenly Romney finds himself in second place. Hence, the sudden junk science epiphany.

Reuters reported:

Presidential candidate Mitt Romney, in danger of losing his 2012 Republican primary front-runner status, on Wednesday he would not place restrictions on carbon emissions if elected.

Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, also said he does not know if human activity is the primary cause of climate change and does not favor spending heavily on climate solutions.

Asked about global warming at a town hall meeting in Lebanon, New Hampshire, Romney said he believed the world is getting hotter and humans contribute in some way to the change — but could not judge to what extent.

“Do I think the world’s getting hotter? Yeah, I don’t know that but I think that it is,” he said. “I don’t know if it’s mostly caused by humans.”

“What I’m not willing to do is spend trillions of dollars on something I don’t know the answer to.”

Try not to make sense of anything Romney says. It is just his typical duplicity showing through.

Any day now, he'll start showing up at campaign appearances in cowboy boots while greeting the crowds with a “Howdy” in an awkward Boston drawl.

He must have had one of his staffers do a comprehensive review of his positions and found one issue on which he hadn’t covered both sides.

"I'm not necessarily un-opposed to my original thinking about those citizens who don't believe that not agreeing with the current climate change position, isn't, upon reflection, the stance I probably should have taken....or so I'm now thinking. In the interim, I hope I've made that clear, finally, until I've had a chance to re-assess the situation a few more times."

He must have read the latest poll stating most Americans don’t believe in MMGW.

“This is so confusing.” Nothing confusing about Romney at all! He is a RINO saying what he has to, to get elected!

Nothing confusing about this RINO at all!

Large bodies of water cover 2/3 of the earth’s surface. Weather patterns are largely the result of conditions in these large bodies of water. The ebb and flow of volcanic activity deep beneath the surface of these large bodies of water could easily explain the ebb and flow of weather patterns we’ve seen since we’ve been recording surface air temperatures in the US and around the world.

The ruling elite can’t use volcanic activity to close US factories and move those jobs to emerging markets so government “scientists” ignore any relationship between volcanic activity deep beneath the surface of the planets large bodies of water and minute deviations in surface air temperatures.
