In the first town hall of his freshly announced presidential campaign, Mitt Romney yesterday reaffirmed his view that global warming is occurring and that humans are contributing to it, a position that has been rejected in recent years by many Republicans as the issue has taken on a greater partisan tinge.
"I don't speak for the scientific community, of course," Romney said. "But I believe the world's getting warmer. I can't prove that, but I believe based on what I read that the world is getting warmer. And number two, I believe that humans contribute to that . . . so I think it's important for us to reduce our emissions of pollutants and greenhouse gases that may well be significant contributors to the climate change and the global warming that you’re seeing."

No Smoking Hot Spot (The Australian)
Those two articles take Greenhouse Theory at face value and by the criterion set up in the theory itself finds no evidence of warming on the basis of greenhouse effect.
The Hidden Flaw in Greenhouse Theory
Falsification Of The Atmospheric CO2 Greenhouse Effects Within The Frame Of Physics
Harvard astrophysicist dismisses AGW theory, challenges peers to 'take back climate science'
It Is Impossible For A 100 ppm Increase In Atmospheric CO2 Concentration To Cause Global Warming
Simple Chemistry and the Real Greenhouse Effect.
Those five articles each show that Greenhouse Theory has no basis in reality due to a direct conflict with the known laws of physics. No wonder the smoking gun "hotspot" can't be found.
Claim That Sea Level Is Rising Is a Total Fraud
That article kills any thought of planetary warming from any cause. Think about it. If there is absolutely no sign of rising sea levels how could the planet be warming? The rise in sea level in the last 100 years is almost exactly the same as the average over the last 40,000 years caused by the inter-glacial period we are in.
If Romney hasn't taken the time or doesn't have the intelligence to research this subject then I wouldn't hire him to manage a five-bird chicken coop.
He will push thru the 'carbon tax'....likely he's heavily invested also in green energy. These are what he BELIEVES in.
RE: his Bain Capital days
“I believe Acme Company is making money. I can't prove that but I believe based on what I read...”
Would you vote to invest money in Acme? Would you pay him hundreds of thousands of dollars for that advice?
Public Policy Polling - Democrat polling agency (as noted at the bottom of their press release: http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/pdf/PPP_Release_IA_0602.pdf)
but the real problem, if PPP is to be believed, is this: “Obama leads by 19 to 38 points with independents, and
takes 7-13% of the GOP vote”
now why would that be? why is zero leading with independents that he would have 1/3 of their vote? what will it take to wooo them?
I smell a loophole in that global warming and carbon buy back scheme... something along the line that if you are a player and buy carbon credits you not only can freely pollute, but you are freely polluting then.
We know the Marxist soaked agents are for irresponsability, victimology and unaccountability. Thus a third world participant who would profit in carbon trading would be an automatic victim and gain carbon reparations of sorts.
He doesn’t want to beat Zero.
I am convinced, and no on here could sway me otherwise, that the presidency is gerrymandered like our congressional districts, with deals being made on who gets to run.
I have seen this over the years, and my own political, first hand experience here, has lead me to believe that for the most part, it is a one party system at the top. The lower down the food chain you get, the less likely this is true, such as municipal elections, but I am convinced, that the candidates are chosen, and the presidency is granted via a deal.
The candidate is chosen in a “bipartisan - reaching across the isle” fashion, and the other side just runs a lame duck, until the powers that be decide it is their turn to run a candidate, who in fact, is the same as the other one, just with a different D or R next to their name.
McCain had no chance in hell at winning. The RNC ran him knowing this, and they pushed him. They gave the presidency to the Dems, for some deal (and I’m not talking about a deal to help our nation) to protect themselves or something.
Now, Romney is going to be shoved down our throats, and in 2016, the dems will run some Dukakis against our appointed R candidate, most likely Jeb Bush or some other “maverick”.
I’m not saying that it is hopeless, I am saying that the one party system we have now has to go. We need a real 2 party system. No more “getting along” and deal making.
I don’t want candidates who cut deals. I don’t want a candidate who “reaches across the isle”. I don’t want a “unity candidate”. I don’t want a “big tent” party.
When you go around trying to please everyone, you end up pleasing no one.
For the most part, D or R, they all behave the same, and I’m afraid that in a few more years, those TEA party folks elected will behave just as badly as their counterparts, they will have been absorbed like the BORG, assimilated, and brainwashed into thinking that the most important thing in DC is “getting along”, and we’ll have to flush the toilet again.
I realize that this turd we have is a big turd, and it is going to take several, if not dozens of flushings to clean the toilet. Sure, we put clean water in, but it just ads to the mess and becomes dirty filthy stinking water in no time. We need to bring in the fire house, and blast the whole damn bathroom.
Doesn't matter if he believes them or not..he supports them and will do likewise as President. Everyone knows the Government is a money laundering funnel to any and all organizations who support whatever party is in power...some just know how to funnel more...and has a string of organizations worldwide to use just for that purpose, who have scads of investment properties, businesses etc.
What a maroon!
caww, you put hammer to nail...imho. The game has always been how to separate the people from their money, using any lie as a truth. (mho)
How much credence does a poll from Seattle, with under 1,400 respondents, have? Did they take it from Starbucks patrons?
Nor will I. I would vote for a RINO with any name before B.O.
Toast
"I don't speak for the scientific community, of course," Romney said. "But I believe the world's getting warmer. I can't prove that, but I believe based on what I read that the world is getting warmer. And number two, I believe that humans contribute to that . .Say goodbye Mittens. We hardly knew yee.
You make some good points in your Post.
It sure has the appearance of fact.
Romney coming out for Global Warming makes you wonder what rock this handsome dullard has been hiding under to have completely missed the Conservative view that the earth is getting warmer because of the Natural Cycles of nature, and that puny man has nothing to do with it.
It appears that once elected the politician forgets about the people who elected him and starts worrying about how to stay on the gravy boat.
Romney the Tard.
It’s good to be King while you kill yourself.
he’s toasted now no matter how much he or the GOP pushes him into the face of the american pple.
I do note that here in Northern California it never rose above 70, rained and the melt off from snow, in the Sierra’s will likely cause flooding, one day....
It’s June, we should be well into the 80’s by now.
Mitt reaffirms belief in Easter Bunny and Santa. “I cant’t prove it, but millions of kids can’t be wrong. and, I can just feel it!”
Thanks for reminding us how unqualified you are Mittens.
