WASHINGTON — As governor, Mitt Romney threatened one of Massachusetts’ dirtiest power plants to clean up or shut down, and he embarked upon a pioneering multistate pact to cut greenhouse gas emissions. He was hailed, at least initially, as an environmental champion. That was 2003.
By the time he accepted the Republican nomination for president in August, Romney had completed an about-face, reducing climate science — and President Obama’s efforts to fight global warming — to a punch line. Now, in the waning days of the campaign, Romney’s shift on what had been a backburner election issue could cost him some independent votes.

Judge Romney by his enemies, while recognizing that the climate won't be controlled by their Carbon Tax plans.

Also, Mitt in his speech in CO yesterday, said that one of his first acts as President will be to open the Keystone oil pipeline from Canada. That will create thousands of new jobs, increase the supply of gasoline for everybody, lower the price of gas, and reduce America's dependence on foreign oil. So Mitt is clearly NOT endorsing the Far Left "Fight Global Warming/"Climate Change" crowd. Barack Obama and the Boston Globe are solidly against the Keystone pipeline.
Boy oh Boy. The Globe is in full attack dog mode now. It must be DESPERATE to print this bunch of hokum. So we are supposed to believe that Man-Made Global Warming caused the Storm Sandy? The Globe expects us to believe the absolutely INCOMPETENT mayor of NY, Michael Bloomberg. if we had "Carbon Tax Credits" and banned the use of Oil and Gasoline there would have been no storm?? How come the residents of NY and NJ are demanding that there be GASOLINE and OIL supplies? Is anyone looking for solar panels and windmills right now? Anybody demanding "Clean Energy"? And the Globe "FORGOT" to mention that 16 Fiskar battery-operated cars EXPLODED after they were submerged in water. ...And, by the way, the Globe hasn't published any election polls recently. Wonder why not?
