As he considers a third presidential campaign, Mitt Romney said Wednesday night that one of the country's biggest challenges is climate change and that global solutions are needed to combat it.
"I'm one of those Republicans who thinks we are getting warmer and that we contribute to that," he said.
The 2012 Republican presidential nominee spoke to a sold-out crowd of about 3,000 at an investment management conference. It was his second public address since privately telling potential donors two weeks ago that he's considering seeking the presidency in 2016.
Romney didn't address a possible campaign at the event, but he used his 30-minute speech and a Q&A session afterward to lay out what appeared to be a populist platform. While hitting familiar Republican points criticizing the size of the federal debt, Romney at times sounded like a Democrat, calling for President Barack Obama and other leaders in Washington to act on climate change, poverty and education.
His evolving platform comes as he works to reshape his image after consecutive presidential defeats. He spent little time talking about poverty, the middle class or climate change in a 2012 campaign in which opponents cast him as an out-of-touch millionaire. But in public and private conversations in recent weeks he has focused on poverty, perhaps above all, a dramatic shift for the former private-equity executive.

Looks like a play to bring in some deep pocket donors to his side.
All science and evidence points to the effects of mostly the SUN on climate change and often we see similar changes on nearby planets similar to our own. Considering man isn’t doing anything on Mars we must leave these climate changes to our solar system and the Sun.
Will THIS finally wake up the Mitt Bots and make them realize that he is and always has been not only a RINO, but a LEFT WING Democrat.
I would have though him running to the LEFT of Ted Kennedy and inventing Obamacare would have done the trick.
After much soul searching Mitt Romney has apparently decided that the reason he lost the 2012 election was: not liberal enough! So it’s full steam ahead fixing that.
The overwhelming case for natural causation can be made without hockey sticks and computer models. Empirical evidence is ALWAYS more compelling than a video game.
Climate change is real. The real questions are:
Is it caused by human activity?
Is there really anything we can do, besides adapt?
“The vineyard was strewn with clam and oyster shells. No greater evidence of past climate change could there have been IMO.”
I suggest you obtain some good reading from a geology book that explains how the earth has changed over the millennia.
The world is in a state of flux always, and will always be that way.
If man, who cannot even control a single thunderstorm, believes it can change the entire world, then it is delusional. It would be like changing the salinity of the oceans by throwing in a few teaspoonful’s of salt.
yeah, THAT’S gonna cause me to drag myself out of the house to go vote for him again. /s
Hey Mitt: The Tea Party is real! Note for Ted!
Look at that human-caused emission
Please jump into the race...please LOL
He must have just gotten the word from the World Economic Conference, New World Order Guys meeting In Davos Switzerland.
Tsk Tsk!!! ;-)
Apparently not everyone remembers grade school science. ;-)
I always knew that guy was a moron. Now he’s proven it beyond all doubt.
I keep saying this, but it’s true. If Milt would only run as a Democrat he’d be the next pResident.
