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."

Romney will not make it past the first set of primaries.
He can go to hell, it is very warm there.
NO to Mittens.
Which human activity was responsible for melting of several miles thick ice glaciers of last ice age? Did the cave man burn way too many twigs using flint stones?
The scary thing is, he’s better than Obama. But not by much.
So, is ol’ Mittster preparing to go to war with China to save the planet, since they’re now the world’s biggest polluters?
Yet another reason not to support this clown.
Willard sure knows how to alienate the conservative base.
“If the republic has to burn, at least let the other side take the heat.”
That statement is a thing of beauty. Thank you for that.
Big f...ing RINO!
I never liked or trusted the guy, but until now I didn’t think he was stupid.
In the last month, he has been wrong side of 3 very substantive issues: Romneycare, Ethanol and now global warming. What a puke!
“RomneyCare and now a global warming believer.”
Nice of him to make it even clearer how stupid and liberal he is.
He's a pure politician who will do, say or believe anything it takes to get elected.
It's easy to see why the news media selected him for us...like they did with McCain.
He was on Hannity and was going to great pains to appear conservative. They spent a lot of time explaining why his healthcare plan is so much different than Obamas.
He’s definitely the one the GOP is going to back.
I really really hope we can defeat him in the primary.
If the world is getting warmer, it’s due to all of Romney’s hot air. I suggest he shut his pie-hole and solve the problem single-handedly.
He's not even pretending anymore, which is good in a "you can't - absolutely CAN NOT - with any microparticle of credibility say that you didn't see this coming" sort of way. Just another big, glossy portrait in the (now very lengthy) gallery of Republican establishment capitulators.
