Radio talk show host Rush Linbaugh has a message for presidential candidate and former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney: Say goodbye to the 2012 Republican nomination. Last Friday, Romney spoke at a town hall event in New Hampshire, telling the audience that he believes human beings have an impact on global warming:
I don’t speak for the scientific community, of course, but I believe the world’s getting warmer. I can’t prove that, but I believe based on what I read that the world is getting warmer. And number two, I believe that humans contribute to that. I don’t know how much our contribution is to that, because I know that there have been periods of greater heat and warmth in the past but I believe we contribute to that.
Limbaugh isn’t happy with the presidential hopeful. The popular host also said, “…the whole premise of man-made global warming is a hoax. And we still have presidential candidates who want to buy into it.” Listen below:

Posted on June 8, 2011 at 5:16amEthanol subsidies are one of the stupidest ideas ever implemented. They put pressure on corn prices (hell, China just banned corn ethanol for this reason), and ultimately they don’t do much but subsidy Iowa farmers.
But Iowa votes first in the primaries. There’s a reason why it is unlikely to change.

Posted on June 7, 2011 at 7:12pmI agree. We know that Romney supports most of obama’s agenda anyway, but to publicly support the global-warming hoax is probably the final nail in his “progressive” coffin – Poor Mittens, always an also-ran, never a nominee. It is vital that the GOP nominee be able to differentiate themselves from obama, Romney is an obama-clone, a non-starter for 2012.

How can Tea Party people be anti Romney when he is the only present candidate who has put forward ideas about dealing with the economy and debt? Is it really about the debt or is Tea hiding behind debt to push a social agenda?

Posted on June 7, 2011 at 6:59pmIf you actually believe that global warming is man-made and therefore man is capable of regulating the temperature of Earth or any part of it in anyway whatsoever…then you are a full blown idiot and a fool and I’m simply not interested in placing any faith in you whatsoever.
Report Post »foobear
Posted on June 8, 2011 at 5:20am@Charlie: Why?
You can test the absorption spectrum of CO2 in a lab for shortwave vs. longwave radiation. You know how much CO2 there is in the atmosphere. You also know that most of the change in CO2 in the atmosphere is from humans (you can add up all the sources of CO2 and divide by the volume). All of this is very simple science, and you can calculate in general terms how much the earth will warm based on the CO2 concentrations.
The much harder problem is predicting the future, and this is where liberals go off on a doomsday tangent. But the basic science is really quite straightforward.
To use an analogy: if you eat an extra slice of pie a day, you’ll probably get fatter. If a pie is 500 kcal and a pound of fat contains 3500kcal, then you will gain roughly 1 pound per week. Simple, right? But the body is a non-linear system, and so some people might gain more weight, some might gain less, but the science is very easy to calculate roughly how much weight you’d expect someone to gain over time.

Posted on June 7, 2011 at 6:55pmRomney never said he believed in ‘man-made global warming.’ As a politician he gave a soft answer but he was completely consistent with what he has been saying for years. He believes the earth is warming… and that man contributes to it, how much he does not know.
Questions for viewers:
1) Is the temperatures around the earth rising at this time. As far as we know YES. – He agreed with this.
2) Has it gotten colder and hotter in the history before, is it cyclical? YES – He agrees, he said it has been hotter.
3) Does man’s actions effect the environment? I am not asking how much, does it? YES – He agreed with this.
4) Is man the cause of Global Warming? NO – Romney did not say that it did he said it contributed and that he does not know how much.
When I say he has been consistent – he was asked this in 2007 during his last race and 2008. During one townhall he was actually asked by a man wearing a Santa Claus suit and said the same thing. Check this out on YouTube.
What I am trying to say is that, to me, man made global warming is a false theory. In this answer session he did not admit to believing in Man-Made Global Warming – Did he?

He said that man contributes to the changes in the environment… we do, very little though and that is what he said “I don’t know how much our contribution.”
If anything be mad that he gave a soft answer, but he has been saying these things since the last Presidential run. If anything he is at least being consistent.

Almost no attention is being paid to the e-coli epidemic in Europe.The bacteria had to be cultured, in a sophisticated bio lab. It was mutated to resist almost every anti-biotic available in our present arsenal. This e-coli strain appeared SUDDENLY, literally out of nowhere. Look up the article in http://www.naturalnews.com covering this outbreak.

Posted on June 7, 2011 at 8:23pm@ UntameableKate – The fact is there is 50% more carbon in the atmosphere now than there has been on average for the last 650 000 years. Now seeing as you probably think the world is only 6000 years old, this fact is lost on you but unfortunately sticking your head in the sand will not change this fact. I know the earths climate is changing naturally anyway, but our dependance on fossil fuels and our destruction of the earths forests are contributing to accelerate this process. Had any extreme weather lately? If you wish to refute this argument, do it with facts and leave out the name calling for a change.

Posted on June 7, 2011 at 8:31pmYeah, don’t forget to thank El Rushbo for Obama while you are at it. It was his “project chaos” which led to such a long and rather odd democratic primary.
You all should already be on a letter/phone petition demanding he keep his fat a$$ out of it in 2012…before his sheep dilute the vote and wind up showing no “clear” winner of the republican primary…leading those on the fence to vote for an Obama 2nd term rather than for someone who (at face value) is not even supported by a high number of republicans.

Posted on June 8, 2011 at 9:42amI was taught in HIGH SCHOOL science and history classes that this planet goes through climatic cycles that last several thousand years (possibly hundred thousand). I was taught that the cycle goes from tropical ages in which the dinosaurs roamed this planet to ice ages which reportedly killed off the dinosaurs. The last thing that I was taught in high school was that this planet’s last climate extreme was an ICE AGE and that the planet is cycling away from that ice age into a tropical age.
Logic would dictate that the only way for this cycle to progress is for the planet to overall INCREASE in temperature over thousands of years.
And now there are people who wish to profit from creative marketing and fear mongering to merely further their chosen careers.
I would say that is it in a nutshell. Kind of like career politicians.

Posted on June 8, 2011 at 2:52pmHe should know better than to be truthfull when running for office.
Everything he said was correct. We have had a recent warming period. In fact, last century we had 2 warming and 2 cooling periods. We are mostly likely on the verge of a cooling period.
We know that a change in the composition of the atmosphere can change climate. Like massive volcanic activity, or a meteor throwing up a cloud of dust. (which may be the cause of the last ice age)
We know that humans have an effect on the atmosphere because of the pollutants we pump into it. For instance, the smog over Mexico City, or the way the colors change in the evening sky because of the way light is defused. (why is the sky blue?)
So, is it conceivable that humans have an effect on climate? Of course it is. The biggest problem is that the left has created this hoax, and with the destruction of data to cover it up, it’s becoming very hard to measure our effect. Clearly we’ve been lied to repeatedly to get us to buy into the big lie.
But, that doesn‘t mean that there isn’t snippets of true science behind the hoax. It also shouldn’t mean that we jump on anyone who has done research, and can see that changing atmosphere can have an effect on how much heat it holds.
