Gore gives Romney kudos for acknowledging climate change (EPIC BARF ALERT)
The Hill, Washington, DC ^ | 2010-03-19 | Ben Geman

Posted on 03/19/2010 10:44:33 AM PDT by rabscuttle385

Al Gore, on his website, flags this passage in Mitt Romney’s recent book No Apology:

“I believe that climate change is occurring — the reduction in the size of global ice caps is hard to ignore. I also believe that human activity is a contributing factor.”

Gore writes: “We can have disagreements about the solutions to this crisis, but we need to acknowledge fundamental truths. The science proving the existence of the climate crisis is not in question. That is where our debates about policy need to begin.”

Romney, a potential 2012 GOP presidential candidate, and Gore certainly disagree on solutions. The former Massachusetts governor, who failed to secure the 2008 GOP White House nomination, has bashed cap-and-trade, which Gore favors.

the existence of the climate crisis is not in question

Climate change is not climate crisis. Nice sleight of hand, Al.

The martian ice caps are shrinking too. Big deal.

cap-and-trade, which Gore favors

Gore favors legalized corruption and money laundering which will have no effect whatever on solar output, no effect on climate cycles, no effect on weather patterns, but it will allow suits like Gore and his pals to take a cut of everything you do, and I mean everything. And it will allow the Mussolinis of the world to regulate and dictate absolutely everything. So its a win-win.

I have been waiting for the airtight evidence to come forward that proves manmade global warming exists. Who knew it was right there, all along, in Mitt Romney’s book.

OK, cap me, trade me, I am on board with the whole scheme - um, I mean science - now.

NEWSFLASH! Climate change has always occurred. Human activity has always contributed to it-- just as taking a leak in the ocean contributes to the water supply therein.

Mitt needs to run as a Democrat. He would look positively sane by comparison to the remainder of that group .

The Republicans, however, have many better options.

Where is RINO Romney
as the Dems push through ObamaCARE?

Answer: The RINO coward is hiding, sending out his saboteurs
against Gov. Palin and all conservative GOP stars again,
selling his ghostwritten book, helping Gore push the fraud of climate change,
and attacking the “tea party”.

Romney and McCain are in a race to see who can stab conservatives the most.

Those Damn Neanderthals!!!!

During the last ice age, much more water was contained in the polar ice caps, and the North Sea included an area of land larger than England and Wales, linking East Anglia with Holland and Belgium, with a much narrower stretch of water cutting off Britain from Norway.

It is thought to have been a land of rivers and marshes, which offered good hunting grounds for people. As the earth warmed and sea levels rose 8,000 years ago, the land was covered by water. Sea levels rose at one or two metres per century, creating a loss of land which would have been noticeable to the residents but not enough to drown them overnight.
