What a shame. After all that pandering to the far right by fear mongering about the “end of the free market economy” and “Obama’s apology tour,” Mitt Romney has to ruin it all by believing in science.

His run for President as a Republican is now officially over: The world is getting warmer: Romney.

(Reuters) - Presidential hopeful Mitt Romney broke with Republican orthodoxy on Friday by saying he believes that humans are responsible, at least to some extent, for climate change.

“I believe the world is getting warmer, and I believe that humans have contributed to that,” he told a crowd of about 200 at a town hall meeting in Manchester, New Hampshire.

“It’s important for us to reduce our emissions of pollutants and greenhouse gases that may be significant contributors.”
