Mitt Romney: Climate change is happening, humans a significant contributor

SALT LAKE CITY — U.S. Sen. Mitt Romney said Monday that he believes climate change is happening and human activity is a significant contributor.

During a speech at the conservative Sutherland Institute in Salt Lake City, the senator acknowledged that the position is rare among his fellow Republicans, but one that younger people seem to respond to more strongly than older conservatives.

“In some respects, (by speaking with newer conservatives), I’ll be able to make inroads with some of the young people coming along,” he said.

Still, Romney said he’s opposed to the Green New Deal economic package intended to fight climate change, calling it “silliness” in part because much of the growth in emissions is coming from developing countries such as India and Brazil rather than the U.S.

[snip]“I’m not willing to sit by if there are major sectors that are losers … and watch people and communities suffer because of that change,” he said.

More blather from RINO MITT.

I say we throw Mitt into a volcano. Someone needs to be sacrificed who won’t be missed.

What the heck?

So mittens has come out for global warming. He’s now willing to prove to the liberals and media that he is liberal on global warming.

Is this new stance going to gain him support among the liberals and media?

Why? Why even go there?

I’ve heard of political scientists before, but, we have so many scientists in politics and in the media. I wonder how they got their scientists credentials?

Jeez, mittless, climate change is of course real...it’s been happening for BILLIONS OF YEARS. Humanity has about as much influence on the climate as a single pissant has on the murder rate in Chicago. NONE.

“and human activity is a significant contributor.”

Then quit blowing hot air.

Glad I never voted for this POS. BTW, when exactly do Mormons die? I’ve never had the pleasure of knowing.

Loser: definition, mittens romney. The man who will do anything and say anything to be elected, for power or to be liked.

He probably drug the dog on a rope behind the car.

Hey, Mitt

Please go visit John McCain. I’m sure he misses you.
You can bring your magic underwear, though it won’t protect you from the flames.

Global warming would decline if Mitt sold all of his mansions and reduced his footprint to Salt Lake City.

Does he really vote in the state of Utah?

ANy body not figuring Mitt is not an Obama communist or a whore for OBama communists, selling it all out for a buck and fame, need to consider his unhinged statement of war on the people for breathing oxygen here.

What a piece of effing sht. Republicans should shun this idiot... but it will not happen. MAny of them are Trump collusion and pedophile island investigation obstruction tainted.

The climate has been warming since the last ICE AGE, and will continue to do so no matter what puny humans do to stop it.

In the future, which was supposed to start in the 1970s, the weather will get colder and colder, just as it has done for FIVE ice ages past.

I have a feeling that now that Epstein is dead, this a@@ who and others who were probably connected, scared that Trump would be a president going after the corrupt and pedophile gangs related, are coming out the closet and doubling down.

I have a feeling the Global warming scam, the pedophile protection in Epstein death and the Trump-Russia collusion black mail are all related, the latter being a means to obstruct justice on investigation of the former and bringing of Rico charges on these scums.
