He has said a lot about being a global warming kook before. I believe it is part of why Hannity and Limbaugh have not jumped on his bandwagon yet. Along with him being a socialist on health care.

It sources Investors.com (http://www.investors.com/NewsAndAnalysis/Article/588168/201110141846/Romneys-Bad-Advice.htm)

On Jan. 1, 2006, Massachusetts became the first state to regulate CO2 emissions from power plants, something the Obama administration is trying to do to all states through the Environmental Protection Agency's draconian job-killing regulations and mandates.

A Dec. 7, 2005 memo from the governor's office announcing the new policy listed among the "environmental and policy experts" providing input to the policy one "John Holdren, professor of environmental policy at Harvard University."

This is the same person who wrote that a "massive campaign must be launched to restore a high-quality environment in North America and to de-develop the United States."

Here's another, but one of the comments says Romney did not sign the Cap & Trade bill. Instead, Deval Patrick signed it.

Maybe Romney backed down because he knew he was going to run for the presidency. :D

Romney and Obama: Carbon Copies’
October 7, 2011 10:37 A.M.
By Katrina Trinko

The Perry campaign releases an ad targeting Mitt Romney today:

h xxp://www.nationalreview.com/corner/279478/romney-and-obama-carbon-copies-katrina-trinko

“Mitt Romney and President Obama are carbon copies,” Perry spokesman Mark Miner said in a statement accompanying the ad. “In addition to designing the blueprint for Obamacare, Mr. Romney has provided President Obama with environmental policies and advisors. Americans cannot afford another four years of job-killing policies inspired by Mitt Romney and implemented by President Obama.”
The Perry campaign also highlighted the fact that John Holdren, who advised Romney on environmental affairs, is now a top science adviser to President Obama. Another environmental adviser to Romney during his time as governor, Gina McCarthy, now helps lead efforts at the EPA regarding air quality.
“Rick Perry supported Al Gore for president,” e-mails Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul. “Instead of distorting Mitt Romney’s record, Mr. Perry should explain why he lined up behind Al Gore’s radical environmental agenda.”

Romney did not design the blueprint for Obamacare. Obama and the libs designed that national monstrosity that is different in more ways than it is the same. Do we need to post a copy of the letter again that Perry sent to Hillary Clinton commending her on her healthcare reform efforts and asking that she didn't forget Texas when Uncle Sugar started handing out benefits?
And Perry has also distorted the cap and trade issue. Romeny never signed the Mass cap and trade and opted out of the NE cap and trade agreement. The MA cap and trade is thanks to Deval Patrick.

Romney was also involved with the CCX which was to have traded Carbon Credits.

Candidates should be pinning Romney down on his climate change garbage. :D Unless, of course, they also go along with this ponzi scheme. :toady:




More than a gaffe, Romney exposed

There's more to this story. Potentially billions more...
Presidential hopeful Mitt Romney confirmed his belief in man-made global warming last week during a town hall meeting in New Hampshire. Though not a popular stance with conservatives, Romney was not shy is his statement.
"I believe the world is getting warmer, and I believe that humans have contributed to that," he said. (Reuters)
Though not the first time Romney has planted his feet firmly on the side of progressive global warming hysteria, this may be the nail in the coffin for his second run at the White House if the news media investigates the real reason for his theory.
Most news outlets and political pundits are talking about Romney's "belief in man-made climate change" but there is a more practical explanation for his affection for Mother Earth.
Romney has a financial stake in the success of climate change legislation.
Since 1977, Romney has been employed by or been CEO of the consulting firm Bain & Company or its spinoff Bain Capital which Romney co-founded in 1984. Bain & Company and Bain Capital LLC are profitable to the tune of billions of dollars and have offices all over the world.
Connections between the Bain companies and the "green" agenda are astounding.
The Bain & Company website boasts the consulting firm's expertise in the nonprofit and public sector and states, "Experts agree that climate change and environmental degradation must be tackled on a global scale."
No doubt their expertise came in handy at the World Economic Forum where Bain offered insights on "Clean energy technologies" and a "low-carbon energy mix by 2050."
Though not controversial for a consulting firm to be interested in conserving energy, the Bain Company seems to have a particular affinity for carbon credit trading, which would have occurred on the Chicago Climate Exchange, had the Cap and Trade bill passed last year. (Learn Obama's involvement here.)
A confidential report entitled "Green Strategies in Oil and Gas" prepared by Bain & Company describes energy efficiency as the "strongest impact on new capital projects... when combined with climate change initiatives."
The report created for the use of a client boasts, "Most energy-efficiency projects are attractive because of their own intrinsic economic equation, but others can become more attractive when associated with the generation of carbon credits."
Bain & Company has also worked in conjunction with the Chicago Climate Action Plan, Verdantix - Green Quadrant Climate Change Business Consulting, and even partnered with the Blackstone Group and NBC (whose parent company is GE) in 2008 to purchase the Weather Channel. The Blackstone Group is currently invested in carbon trading in the Czech Republic and other nations.
Romney is clearly loyal to Bain and Company and their client initiatives. Does that mean a President Mitt Romney would put Cap and Trade legislation be back on the table?
Romney will face former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty for the GOP nomination and could potentially see Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann if she decides to run as well.
