MANCHESTER, New Hampshire (Reuters) - Presidential hopeful Mitt Romney broke with Republican orthodoxy on Friday by saying he believes that humans are responsible, at least to some extent, for climate change.

"I believe the world is getting warmer, and I believe that humans have contributed to that," he told a crowd of about 200 at a town hall meeting in Manchester, New Hampshire.

"It's important for us to reduce our emissions of pollutants and greenhouse gases that may be significant contributors."

I miss the two party system.

I’m waiting for the Romneybots to come on and spin his statement.

It’s just that feeling under your collar, Mitt...

Nice!

Is this a joke?

[MrB]

The only reason for someone not making money off the deal to “believe” in AGW is that they have no other way to “matter” besides having some “cause”, like “saving the erf”.

Human CO2 contributions make up 0.117% of the greenhouse effect.

"Is there a day that Mitt Romney does NOT get drunk?"

[Chaguito]

Amazing...three months ago I said I would crawl away from the polling place on broken glass to avoid voting for Romney. Then his announcement speech, and I said, “well, better than Obama.” 18 hours later, I’m back where I was. But it points out how easy it will be for him to suck people in.

“I love it when a rino nails his own coffin shut.”

You hit the nail on the head. (pun intended). I think Mitt will loose steam as time goes on. What he said now is similar to how Newt destroyed his own campaign.

Mark my words...Romney will be the GOP candidate.

Progressives have control of our country.

Ain’t much left of that toast BUT carbon....

We won’t rebuild from another 4 years of Obama. We’re playin for all the marbles here.

If so we won't rebuild from Romney either, as there is no sumbtantive distinction between their policies. No Romney, not now, not next November, not ever. And the best way to make the GOP elites realize he is a loser before it is too late, is to make it clear in advance that not only will conservatives go third party, but that we are willing to lose rather than support Romney. If they run a RINO this year I will bolt. As you say, all the marbles. Not half, not some, all. And when you play for all, the alternative is always nothing.

I will never, ever vote for someone who thinks man-made global warming is a reality.

Thank you!

Are there still people here who would vote for this moron if he wins the nomination. Just so you can say the socialist in the white house has an R after his name instead of a D?

FUMR!

Umm. You sure it wasn't Al Gore who said that? </s>

I like Ethanol too he said.
