Mitt Romney on Wednesday got a big thumbs up for his stance on global warming from a source that likely won’t help him at all in the GOP primary: Al Gore.
The former vice president and Nobel Prize winner praised Romney for not heeding right-wing calls to reject the science behind climate change.
“Good for Mitt Romney — though we've long passed the point where weak lip-service is enough on the Climate Crisis,” Gore wrote on his blog. “While other Republicans are running from the truth, he is sticking to his guns in the face of the anti-science wing of the Republican Party.”
Earlier this month, Romney told a New Hampshire town hall meeting that he believes climate change is happening and that man-made emissions are a cause.
"I don't speak for the scientific community, of course, but I believe the world is getting warmer, and I believe that humans have contributed to that," Romney said. "I can't prove that, but I believe based on what I read that the world is getting warmer.
"No. 2, I believe that humans contribute to that," he continued. "I don't know how much our contribution is to that, because I know there's been periods of greater heat and warmth than in the past, but I believe we contribute to that. And so I think it's important for us to reduce our emissions of pollutants, of greenhouse gases, that may well be significant contributors to the climate change and global warming that you're seeing."
My take: It has been sometime since the hacking of the environmental agency who had the emails stolen and downloaded which revealed that the whole climate change issue was a hoax. By manipulating numbers as I own copies of these emails and have seen for myself that the climate change scam is just that: a scam. what is the real issue behind climate change? It is a movement under the premise that, we are putting too much CO2 into the atmosphere and thereby causes the Earths atmospheric temperatures to rise. the truth? As I have learned horticulture at such a young age, I learned that CO2 is an integral part of life on this planet. Plants take in CO2, then release O2 so we can breathe. Al Gore and Mitt Romney are both global stooges who, intend to bank heavily on making money off the push for what is being called "carbon credits". These carbon credits will de-industrialize the world in order to allow the global elite, a cabal of sick and demented people who think their superiority is based on superior genetics and their vast wealth.
