ORIGINAL: DomKen Pretty sure most of the GOP presidentail candidates deny the climate is changing. Why yes they do http://www.npr.org/2011/09/07/140071973/in-their-own-words-gop-candidates-and-science You obviously didn't read any of the quoted material Ken... You might wanna take a look, this time with your glasses on. Liar Bachmann denies GW. Cain denies GW Gingrich has said things going both ways Huntsman does not deny GW Paul denies GW Perry denies GW Romney does not deny GW Santorum denies GW 3 are at least close to reality and the 5 are deniers of some sort. 5 of 8 is most by definition. Bachman... I think all these issues have to be settled on the base of real science, not manufactured science. — When asked about the "man-made climate change myth" and "green jobs" at a campaign event in Spartanburg, S.C., Aug. 16, 2011 Cain... I don't believe ... global warming is real. Do we have climate change? Yes. Is it a crisis? No. ... Because the science, the real science, doesn't say that we have any major crisis or threat when it comes to climate change. — CBS News, June 9, 2011 Newt... Oh, sure ... I was trying to make a point that we shouldn’t be afraid to debate the left, even on the environment. That was obviously misconstrued, and that’s one of the things I probably won’t do again. Paul... While it is evident that the human right to produce and use energy does not extend to activities that actually endanger the climate of the Earth upon which we all depend, bogus claims about climate dangers should not be used as a justification to further limit the American people's freedom. Perry... I think there are a substantial number of scientists who have manipulated data so that they will have dollars rolling in to their projects. I think we're seeing it almost weekly or even daily, scientists who are coming forward and questioning the original idea that man-made global warming is what is causing the climate to change. Romney, who believed before he didn't believe... 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 No. 2, I believe that humans contribute to that ... so I think it's important for us to reduce our emissions of pollutants and greenhouse gases that may well be significant contributors to the climate change and the global warming that you're seeing. — Reuters, June 3, 2011 Do I think the world's getting hotter? Yeah, I don't know that, but I think that it is. I don't know if it's mostly caused by humans ... What I'm not willing to do is spend trillions of dollars on something I don't know the answer to. — Campaign stop in New Hampshire, August 24, 2011 Santorum... I believe the Earth gets warmer, and I also believe the Earth gets cooler. And I think history points out that it does that, and that the idea that man, through the production of CO2 — which is a trace gas in the atmosphere, and the man-made part of that trace gas is itself a trace gas — is somehow responsible for climate change is, I think, just patently absurd when you consider all the other factors, El Niño, La Niña, sunspots, moisture in the air. ... To me, this is an opportunity for the left to create — it's really a beautifully concocted scheme because they know that the Earth is gonna cool and warm. WHAT FUCKING PART OF MAN MADE DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND? THE QUESTION IN THE ORIGINAL OP IS ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE, NOT MAN MADE GLOBAL WARMING... YOU'RE THE DISINGENUOUS LIAR HERE KENNY. You're cherry picking quotes, including trying to ignore one where Cain clearly says he doesn't believe in global warming at all. All caps won't change the denials into acceptance. You simply cannot make claims about CO2 having no effect on the climate into being accepting of climate change reality. Neither can you change a guy claiming all scientists involved lied into acceptance of reality.
