Mitt Romney Reverses Course: Now Says We Dont Know Whats Causing Climate Change

Mitt Romney reversed course on the purported cause of global warming, saying Thursday "we don't know" what's to blame. (AP)

After declaring in June that he believed humans are contributing to global warming, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney reversed course Thursday to say “we don‘t know what’s causing climate change.”

“My view is that we don‘t know what’s causing climate change on this planet,” he told an audience at the Consol Energy Center in Pittsburgh, Pa. “And the idea of spending trillions and trillions of dollars to try to reduce CO2 emissions is not the right course for us. My view with regards to energy policy is pretty straightforward: I want us to become energy secure and independent of the oil cartels.”

Romney‘s remarks came in response to an audience member’s question about whether as president he would reject programs such as cap and trade legislation.

“I do not believe in a cap and trade program,” Romney said. “By the way, they don‘t call it ’America warming,’ they call it global warming. So the idea of America spending massive amounts, trillions of dollars to stop global warming is not a great idea. It loses jobs for Americans and ultimately won’t be successful, because industries that are energy intensive will just give up and go somewhere else.”

His answer is in direct contrast to unequivocal statements he made during a campaign stop in New Hampshire in June.

“I believe the world is getting warmer, and I believe that humans have contributed to that,” he said. “It’s important for us to reduce our emissions of pollutants and greenhouse gases that may be significant contributors.”

Fellow GOP candidate Rick Perry was quick to jump on Romney’s about-face. The Texas governor called global warming “one contrived phony mess” in his book, “Fed Up!”

“Mitt Romney’s positions change, often dramatically, depending on the audience or location,” Perry spokesman Ray Sullivan said. “Voters need to consider the fact that Romney, in one week, changed positions on manmade global warming, capping carbon emissions and Ohio’s efforts to curb union powers.”

A Romney campaign spokesman said Friday the candidate has been “nothing but consistent on this issue,” The Hill reported.

Former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman is the only major Republican candidate in the field who embraces the idea of global warming. In August, he slammed Perry for saying he didn’t believe in manmade global warming, calling it “a position that basically runs counter” to science.

    Romney and Cain say whatever you want to hear to get elected. Both are flip flopping…disgusting. Cain has Jamie Brazil, a democrat that is best buddies with the Clintons working with him on his campaign and then the smoker got fired from a political situation once and started stocking shelves in Target. lol. He did have a bodyguard earlier that had a felony, but when noticed by the media, he fired him. If you don’t believe me, go check it out….Cain may be a democrat in disguise…top down…bottom up…inside out…don’t be fooled. Perry and Newt are the only two top runners that are honest and sticking with their beliefs….others are Bachman and Santorum. Ron Paul does too, but some of his beliefs are too weak when it comes to foreign policy.

      I agree Pwatkins – I think Newt is the most knowledgeable, strongest in all areas and could beat Obama in a debate. He has my vote. I was for Mitt, but he is getting to sound more and more like a Rino. Not sure about Perry on immigration. Paul is so weak on foreign affairs. Others won’t make it, not enough support. I think we will see Newt rise to the top.

      The climate always changes. There is no such thing as a static climate, sorry. So, yes, in fact we know many, many, many, many reasons that the climate changes. First, because there is no one “climate” and thus the factors for each regional climate are determined by things like large bodies of water, wind, mountains, etc. Second, because we have an entire science based on “climate change” and we call it meteorology. Wouldn‘t be much of a science if they couldn’t predict the climate changing from day to day now would it? And if they do that, and they do, they do it by noting various factors, what we’d call “reasons”.

      What am I doing, commenting on a politician anyway? These people are not what we’d call scientifically literate. Geesh.

      Romney has not flip flopped on this, he consistently says he does not know, of which most Americans don’t know. I would more learn away from Global Warming but Romney never said Man Made Global Warming. As to the science the earth is warming right now… there is no question but that is not to say it hasn’t cooled which he has even stated that point. “There have been times that it has been hotter” if so he is admitting that it has also been cooler and that it is raising right now. He has always been consistent on the Over regulation of the EPA: http://www.americanparchment.com/video/2011/july/romney_stop_epa.html.

      Cain is strong on the economy, but I fear that he has no experience in Foreign Policy. He says that he is reading up in the issues but reading up and having experience is why we have a problem in the White House. (Not comparing Cain to Obama) We put an academic in the White House and that is why is went so bad… plus being a progressive+ is no help at all.

      Though his 9-9-9 is bold I still can’t agree with adding a new type of revenue for the govt. Especially if they overrode his 9% with reconciliation which they did in Congress. 9-9-9 does not work with the possibility of a liberal Congress changing it. That is the same thing that happened to RomneyCare, it went from being market based to being government heavy, thanks to a 85% legislature. Romney should have gone for re-election instead of going back tot he private sector. That way he would have been able to control what happened to his bill. Now it looks horrible.

      FOR SOME REASON THEY REMOVED THIS POSTING, HERE IT IS AGAIN…

      Sorry Ron Paul is the biggest flip-flopper. Everyone praises him for consistency by instead this week he keeps messing up and there are plenty of times before that.

      1) Supports Gold Standard – Flipped: Wanted to sell the Gold in Fort Knox = No Gold Standard
      2) calls himself a fiscal conservative, limited govt role – Hypocrite: He supports earmarks in bills (bribery) instead of appropriating funds in appropriation bills, where they belong. That is why we have appropriation bills.
      3) Wanted to End the Fed, Wrote a Book Called End the Fed – Flip-Flop: On Fox Panel he said I don’t want to end the Fed… Wouldn’t answer the question if ultimately would end it, he even named his pick for Fed Chairman.
      4) Fiscal Conservative? Hypocrite: Spend double the amount than any other candidate on private jets, over $1 million of donors funding.
      5) Ron Paul promised no third party run – Flip Flop: Now he won’t pledge or rule it out.

      RON PAUL IS THE EPITOME OF A FLIP-FLOPPER – He has changed position many more time but there is no time… this is not to say he isn’t playing politics or has good reason but he changed position and so is a FLIP FLOPPER.

      I always hear this sort of statement coming from people that almost always end up proving themselves morons in the end. Weather, climate, pretty much the same issues in question. Sometimes the discussion of weather includes longer time periods, sometimes shorter. Sometimes it includes larger areas, sometimes smaller. The same with climate. What will the weather be over the next million years is just as valid as asking what the climate will be. In both cases the weather always changes and the climate always changes. Regardless of what stupid games of semantics some useful idiot liberal cares to play.

      I agree that thinking that local weather or local climate determines global weather patterns and or global climate mistakes are often made, on both sides, however, that error in logic does not prove that weather and climate do not involve the same general issues.

      There is no substantial difference between discussing local or global temperature changes and calling them a sign of the weather or a sign of climate measurements. In most peoples minds they can correctly be interchanged.

      On the issue of local patterns being used as global indicators of (weather or climate … fill in the blank with your choice of word) you are correct in stating that that is a silly notion. On that issue I agree with you.

      However, you have not made the case that the word weather or the word climate is better suited for either case, since both can be properly used to describe either local or global patterns (and anything inbetween) and both terms can be properly used to describe short time events and or long time events.

      You are simply hung up on the wrong issue. Focus on local patterns do not determine global patterns and you will be safe.

      Glenn did nothing but warn us as well. That is all anyone can do so we can do something about it……We are the ones who change things, remember, not Government or a politician. Government just needs to be moved out of the way….Put back into it’s place. You think Cain will reduce government? We know Perry and Romney will not. Both supported big government programs in their states. 

      I’m sorry but I do not find Cain to be honest or sincere. Glenn warned us the Federal Reserve is the problem of our economy and influences our social aspects. Cain doesn’t agree to that at all. If Cain cannot see the killer of our way of life Cain does not have what it takes to lead our country. Cain’s church was a very liberal church as well. How does a conservative sit in a liberal church? That‘s like saying BO wasn’t influenced sitting in Wrights church. Hear what I’m saying? I cannot trust that. Add in the “misspeaks” and the Cain train derails for me. 

      I am glad you brought up George Washington. Read his farewell address and see who sounds like him today. I will tell you it is Ron Paul, word for word. You misspoke: it is a GREAT accomplishment to be consistent year end and year out. That is how you separate Paul from the rest. Tomorrow he will be the same as he was yesterday.

      What has Paul done? He has stood up against lobbyists. They do not even approach him. Every vote he has done was based on Constitutional principles. He gives back money not needed in his district every year to the Treasury. He will only accept approx. $39,000.00 in salary for the office of President as that is the median wage of the average American. He fights our defunct Congress on Unconstitutional bills constantly to try and protect our freedoms. He had successful legislation to prevent eminent domain and transfer the ownership of a dam from the Fed Gov to the Texas Gov. He has helped to prohibit funding for a Natl I.D. card, the list goes on and on on how he tries to protect liberty and states rights. The Constitution! Go to the Congress website and check his voting record. He speaks the truth (found very little in Washington anymore) even though noone wants to hear the truth. I do not know anyone who could be considered closer to George Washington in the way he feels about his country. How long are you willing to wait for a George W? This election (if we have one) may be our last chance to protect our liberties from being gone forever. I just cannot believe that everyone does not see this!!? Liberty, what is it? Go here:

The federal reserve drives social policy. The federal reserve is destroying our country. If it is not addressed progression will continue no matter who is in office. Cain will not address the Reserve. His message says that. Paul for 30 years has warned on the Federal Reserve, the killer Glenn showed us it was with Ron Paul’s words! 

      The only thing Glenn really disagrees with Ron Paul on is foreign policy and oddly enough Glenn stands opposite of George Washington while Ron Paul stands with him on this issue as do I. I believe in our military but not for global dominance but to eliminate evil when threatened. That farewell address of Washington’s says it perfectly and thru the love of God. It’s awesome. 

      I’ll meet you in that prayer…Stay safe my friend…

      You’re wrong about Perry. He’s a liar and no one is noticing. Recent example was during debate when Anderson Cooper confronted him about the pastor who said Mormons aren’t Christian. Perry said he didn’t agree with the pastor. Yet Romney claims to be an evangelical Christian. Evangelicals are part of Orthodox Christianity which Mormonism is not. Mormonism’s doctrine is diametrically opposed to that of Orthodox Christianity. A person who is an Evangelical has to reject Mormonism as Christian unless they leave the Evangelical Christian faith. So, he either lied about not agreeing with the pastor so he could get Anderson Cooper to drop the issue or he is lying that he’s truly an Evangelical Christian because a true Evangelical Christian has to reject Mormonism as a Christian religion. His only other option would be to reject evangelicalism and claim a faith that did allow him to accept Mormonism as Christian. But the bottom line is that he’s lying one way or the other. This is what you want for a president, a liar?

      If they are Republicans I guess I’m not.
      This is what I need in a candidate:
      1. Close the border,
      2. Allow no amnesty.
      3. Repeal Obamacare
      4. Support the 2nd Amendment, and
      5. Get cut, cap, and balance through congress.
      Misters Romney and Perry are windsocks. RINOs.
      Newt is a smoke filled back room politician.
      Cain says the right things. His foreign affairs experience is the same as Reagan’s was.
      I want to see more of him but he is not my candidate yet.
      I could vote for Mrs. Bachmann. She has as little experience as BHO had, but she is on the right side of my issues.
      Dr. Paul can‘t explain himself to people who can’t understand him; he cannot get the nomination.

He has changed on plenty, of which is hard for me to accept given his age. You either believe in something or you do not. A man of poor, or no character and with little or no integrity, should not be running this great country. Besides, unless I have been misinformed, the temperature the globe has increased over it’s life time has been a whopping 2/10 of one degree. Hardly worth getting too excited about. That is unless you plan to profit from it like Al Gore.

      “The greatest hoax I think that has been around for many, many years if not hundreds of years has been this hoax on [...] global warming.” – Ron Paul on Fox Business, Nov. 4, 2009

      “[The Copenhagen treaty on climate change] can’t help the economy. It has to hurt the economy and it can’t possibly help the environment because they’re totally off track on that. It might turn out to be one of the biggest hoaxes of all history, this whole global warming terrorism that they’ve been using, but we’ll have to just wait and see, but it cannot be helpful. It’s going to hurt everybody.” – Ron Paul on the Alex Jones Show, Nov. 5, 2009

The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men.” -Woodrow Wilson, after signing the Federal Reserve into existence.

This is a wishy-washy statement crafted to avoid offending any voters and the global warming theocrats. People hear what they want to hear.

      Global warming hasn’t occurred for the past 10 years. We don’t know what might cause it. Human activity could contribute to global warming in an extremely small way.

      Sorry, but Romney is ten times better than John McCain. However, I still want Herman Cain, first. Romney is fairly decent. Definitely not the most conservative, but much more conservative than McCain was. Frankly, nobody is perfect. Unless you compare them to Obama. In which case they almost seem perfect, Obama being that bad.

      I have always liked Newt but for whatever reasons, his fault or just bad abiltiy to judge from the voter base, Newt ends up not getting much overall support.

    UNALIENABLE RIGHTS

    NOT A FLIP_FLOP…

    You are exactly right, Romney has not flip flopped on this, he consistently says he does not know, of which most Americans don’t know. I would more learn away from Global Warming but Romney never said Man Made Global Warming. As to the science the earth is warming right now… there is no question but that is not to say it hasn’t cooled which he has even stated that point. “There have been times that it has been hotter” if so he is admitting that it has also been cooler and that it is raising right now. He has always been consistent on the Over regulation of the EPA: http://www.americanparchment.com/video/2011/july/romney_stop_epa.html.

    What some could be mad at is that he hasn’t picked a side on Global Warming, maybe a reporter needs to drill him on that. But as for Global Warming he has been consistent, the earth is warming, he doesn’t know the cause and that the it is cyclical, being hotter and colder.

      If Romney changing his mind on something is going to be a story, pretty soon we’ll have nothing but Romney stories. At least limit them to one a day. Like the stock market. Report what his positions are at the start of the day then report again what his positions are at the end of the day. Between the two, anything can happen!

      Funny put where is the position change in this story. I don’t see it. He doesn’t know, won’t take a position on it, and consistantly said we can’t pass cap and trade or it will destroy the economy, he has said that today as well as back in 2005 when he shot down the Regional Cap and Trade. Which he knocked down a few months after it was written, after he was able to read it.

      Sorry Ron Paul is the biggest flip-flopper. Everyone praises him for consistency by instead this week he keeps messing up and there are plenty of times before that.

      1) Supports Gold Standard – Flipped: Wanted to sell the Gold in Fort Knox = No Gold Standard
      2) calls himself a fiscal conservative, limited govt role – Hypocrite: He supports earmarks in bills (bribery) instead of appropriating funds in appropriation bills, where they belong. That is why we have appropriation bills.
      3) Wanted to End the Fed, Wrote a Book Called End the Fed – Flip-Flop: On Fox Panel he said I don’t want to end the Fed… Wouldn’t answer the question if ultimately would end it, he even named his pick for Fed Chairman. ( http://www.thedailycandidate.com/video/2011/oct/paul_flip_fed.html )
      4) Fiscal Conservative? Hypocrite: Spend double the amount than any other candidate on private jets, over $1 million of donors funding.
      5) Ron Paul promised no third party run – Flip Flop: Now he won’t pledge or rule it out.

      RON PAUL IS THE EPITOME OF A FLIP-FLOPPER – He has changed position many more time but there is no time… this is not to say he isn’t playing politics or has good reason but he changed position and so is a FLIP FLOPPER.

      What I believe Will meant, and I agree, is that a person that chooses to waste money on private jets instead of flying much more cheaply on commercial flights, is not all that bright about money. So if he wastes that much money with private money, his is more likely to waste public money as well. Which is a rather logical prediction.

      1) That was intended as a sarcastic suggestion in an interview. He was saying that if Government really wanted to make some money, or invest in money, that they would have a better profit selling the Gold in Fort Knox, sighting the increase in Gold price due to the devaluation of our US dollar. The comment came up after they were talking about the Government selling some federal property to make money.

      2) Earmarks used at the local level are transparent. Anyone can see what the money was used for and how much. Any money not used in earmarks by local officials or State representatives stays at the federal level wherein the President or federal departments may use the money without oversight or transparency. That means our tax dollars will go to the federal government to fund federal Government projects and their Progressive agenda, and we won’t know how much they spent or what they used it for. Paul has advocated for the federal Government to earmark its spending so we know where the money is going.

      3) He wants to audit the Fed and eventually end the Fed. He wants to transition. In the meantime, he has introduced numerous bills to put in place sound monetary policies, take away commodity taxes on gold and silver, and allow State and individuals the freedom to transact in hard money. Unfortunately, the Progressives and Big Government Republicans don’t agree with the Constitution and vote against those bills, they are clueless about our destruction and economic collapse.

      4) He has a lot of speeches and interviews. He especially visits a lot of Universities across the Nation to speak with College students about the Constitution, limited Government and individual Liberty. I’m pretty sure that item 4 is the same tactic used by the Socialists against the 1%. Pathetic. That’s a really desperate attempt there.

      Behold that which I have seen: it is good and comely for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labour that he taketh under the sun all the days of his life, which God giveth him: for it is his portion. Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labour; this is the gift of God. Ecclesiastes 5:18-19

      5) The Republican Party will soon enough self destruct and come to an end. All the compromising, voting for the lesser of two evils, and voting for who looks or sounds more electable is coming to a halt. And you cannot blame American patriots that stand up for their principles and values and don’t surrender to the enemy. We will hold our ground with or without the one Party Establishment. They’re both Progressives now, and we’ll have no part in it.

    Mitt is correct. Never did Mitt quantify man’s contribution to Global Climate change. Saying, “I believe the world is getting warmer, and I believe that humans have contributed to that.” is not the same as saying that man is solely to blame. Those who already hate Romney are just parsing his words to come up with another ostensible flip flop.

      Saying that man has contributed to the earth warming is already buying into the bad science that says that CO2 causes warming. The science isn’t set on that. It is more a founding principle, a religious dogma of algorism than it is a demonstratable theory.

      If I pee into the ocean am I contributing to its warming? Given the massive heat exchange going on in the oceans with solar warming and evaporation, as well as melting ice flows and under sea volcanic activty, the relative heat from my pee is so infinitely small that it makes any such statement ridiculous.

      Which is exactly what Romney’s past statement was, ridiculous.

      Historically, “climate change” has happened more times than we know about. And if the big ‘volcano’ went up tomorrow, we’d see the largest culprit in global climate change change the climate by Thanksgiving. Because man exists does NOT mean he is to “blame” for all of the earths ills. Pseudo science aside.

      If, as all the 99% believe, Darwin was correct and we crawled out of the pond when we got tired of the taste of mud then we have as much right to the earths resources as a piss mouse (or whatever mouse it is Pelosi is protecting). If they aren’t as smart as we are too bad.

      If God put us here and his word is what we are to go by then, also, we are to establish “dominion” over the earth and ALL of her creatures. Again, the piss mouse is out in the cold.

      Either way is fine with me. But I personally believe God put us here.

      Presidential candidates now have “legal standing” to file a lawsuit against Obama and the DNC, alleging fraud and failure to qualify as a natural born citizen, meaning born in the US to TWO US citizen parents, as required of the President by the Constitution, or be dismissed as untrustworthy!

      Constitution, Art. 2, Sec. 1, “No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible … .”

      Exempting a “citizen” from being a “natural born citizen” proves they aren’t equal, or no exemption was needed. Being not less than nor equal, a NBC must be more than the minimum requisite for citizenship then, which was US birth to a US citizen parent. Only US birth to US citizen parents (plural) is greater, thus defining a natural born citizen.

      The Supreme Court agreed in Minor v. Happersett, 1874. “The Court held that Minor was a member of the “class” of persons who were natural born citizens. They defined this class as those born in the US to “parents” (plural) who were citizens.” – Leo Donofrio, JD.

      A natural born citizen while encompassing citizenship now granted by US birth, which wasn’t possible prior to the 1965 Immigration Act considered by many to be a misinterpretation of the 14th amendment, is a higher quality of citizenship also requiring US citizen “parents” (plural)!

      What’s with the new name? Did you think I wouldn’t recognize you and take the time to tell the good folks out there that the Supreme Court made it very clear in their decision on Minor v Happersett that they were NOT setting a precedent by establishing a complete and exclusive definition of natural born citizen?

      “Some authorities go further and include as citizens children born within the jurisdiction without reference to the citizenship of their parents. As to this class there have been doubts, but never as to the first. For the purposes of this case it is not necessary to solve these doubts.”

      Or point out that there is no definition in the Constitution, or that the Supreme Court finally settled the issue in 1898 and that ever since then the law of the land has been that anyone who was born here is a natural born citizen.
