Related: About this forumMitt Romney Boldly Suggests That "We've Got To Do Something" On Climate
Lest we forget . . .
From all the available evidence, we have to assume that older republicans are physiologically unable to process information about climate change, and we have to assume from what they do and say, they either do not care, or have utter contempt for, the living systems and creatures of planet earth.
Younger Republicans seem to sense that something is wrong, but are kind of boxed in as to what to do about it with the leadership they have. Republic EN purports to be a climate and ecology aware group of mostly-young Rebublicans. Got a mailer from them the other day.
RepublicEN:
Recently, Utah Senator Mitt Romney has been increasingly outspoken about the need to address climate change. Scientists are almost uniform in their concern that this is happening faster than they expected and that the impacts could be dramatic, Romney said in a recent interview. So that suggests weve got to do something. We cant just hope its not going to happen thats not an answer, thats not a solution. Weve got to take action. That gets a big thumbs up from the EcoRight!
Regrettably, the last time Mitt Romney actually had some potential influence in the national debate, he sneered and ridiculed the entire idea -even though he does know better.
