Romney calls for using innovation & technology to combat climate change at Washington Post event where John Kerry appeared in separate interview piece

[basquebromance]

Romney told E&E News after he was elected to the Senate that he saw climate change as a “critical area.” In 2017, he praised as “thought provoking” a plan endorsed by 27 Nobel laureates to place a fee on carbon to reduce greenhouse emissions.

Since then, Republicans have rallied more in the direction of supporting technological breakthroughs to reduce carbon without levying tax penalties on polluters, with the view that such penalties would stifle economic progress

I’m a proud Republican like Romney who believes the greenhouse gas-effect is real, that climate change is being affected by manmade behavior and try to find technological solutions. That would be my approach, for the party to acknowledge that climate change is a problem, and find solutions

Climate change is real but the solutions are not command-and-control, Soviet-style proposals but innovation, nuclear energy, research and development, and efficiency

Xi Jinping has a list of priorities, and climate change is not of them, says Romney. the same is true of Brazil, India, Indonesia, Romney asserts

 

[basquebromance]

Romney says he would support a carbon tax, that the Dems should have implemented it already, and that you can't blame Republicans for this opportunity missed

 

[basquebromance]

Romney says the goal of the carbon tax is not to raise revenue for the government, but to create a massive incentive for the private sector to innovate. he thinks he can get "some, but not a lot" of Republicans to vote for it, which he says is more than you need if most Dems also vote for it

Maybe not such a bad idea after all seeing how they are a real enemy.

If mitt and the rest of these lying taxpayer funded morons can figure out how to stop tectonic plate movement, that would stop climate change.

Co2 does nothing.

Atmospheric co2 went up.

Temps did not

Theory REJECTED

 

[EMH]

In 2005 the co2 fraud had a choice.

Accept highly correlated satellite and balloon (the 2 and only 2 measures of atmospheric temps) data and admit the truth that co2 went up and temps did not...

Or fudge both data series and keep the co2 fraud going...

Key claim against global warming evaporates

Satellite and weather balloon data used to argue that climate models were wrong and that global warming isn't really happening turns out to be based on faulty analyses, according to three new studies.
