Hot Air Commenters Savage Mitt Romney for Accepting the Reality of Climate Change

The Republican base in all its glory
Wingnuts • Views: 24,611

A fatuous post by the anonymous blogger “Allahpundit” full of debunked right wing tropes (Climategate? he must be kidding) leads to a deluge of stunningly ignorant, hateful comments directed toward Mitt Romney for stating that he accepts the science of climate change: Romney: Sure, I believe in man-made global warming « Hot Air.

Toast.

I will not vote for him in the primary. It’s that simple. I will not vote for someone who believe in the greatest lie ever told.

This will even make me reluctant to vote for him in the general should he be the nominee. At least Pawlenty seems sincere in his redirection.

The earth is always in either a warming trend, or a cooling trend. It is never stable.

Romney apparently hasn’t taken the time to do any research of his own.

Three words: Medieval Warming Period.

The Earth has been warmer than this for nearly all of the past 10,000 years.

This is the 9100st-ish hottest year on record, in fact. (Last year)

A huge and marked warming trend would be nothing but a reversion to the historic mean, if even that.

So no, AGW is bunkum, and Romney is capitulating to the left.

Okay I get that he has the reputation of being a flip flopper, of choosing the politically expedient position to take on issues, that he modifies his positions based on where and against whom he’s running but he should have just avoided this topic or said he was wrong so as not to go against most of the Republicans and all the conservatives…What a maroon this guy is.. and he needs a better fitting pair of jeans…

CCRWM on June 3, 2011 at 6:59 PM

Pawlenty n Palin and even Romney’s positions in 2008 can be forgiven because then global warming was close to gospel truth. Now that it has been established as a hoax adn scientific fraud, there’s no reason to still cling to it. It’s a credit that both Pawlenty n Palin took that opening and adjusted their positions accordingly.

If Romney had any smarts, he’d have mentioned the hockey stick graph and taken umbrage under it and brought himself into mainstream of the republican party. As it now stands, he’s making himself a joke rather fast.

promachus on June 3, 2011 at 6:59 PM

The deluge of ignorance goes on and on and on. These comments are just from the top of the first page.

The Republican Party’s base has been completely brainwashed into denying any science that doesn’t make money for big corporations.

And by the way, Romney also accepts that evolution is a scientific fact. Man, is he ever doomed.

Is he doomed? He might be doomed to lose the election but last I checked he was still doing well in the primary polls. The GOP needs an electable candidate so they might push him through the primaries just to avoid the embarrassment of a historic landslide of running Cain, Trump, Palin, Bachmann, Ryan, Christie, Ron Paul, etc. I’m not sure there’s much of a choice.

That’s why they need to nominate Caribou Barbie or someone equally as stupid, then get trounced in the 2012 election. That way, the GOP can jettison the base and the base can’t complain that the candidate was a librul or a RINO.

Today my husband and I had to take our cars in to our insurance adjuster for the hail damage to our cars. We were his last appointment. We were talking about the tornadoes and changing weather patterns. Which eventually brought us around to global warming. He said the insurance company is preparing for it. I asked him what did that mean. He said
“Premiums.” It figures.

That is all fine and good until you end up with religious fanatics and people who value magical susperstitious thinking science who are taking over a major political party.

Your democracy is only as good as your polity…and that is why our Founding Fathers were so suspicious and afraid of pure democracy. The ghost of Oliver Cromwell was certainly hovering over the drafting of the Constitution.

You would think most of the right would embrace AGW and the opportunities in having to deal with it.

All kinds of new business opportunities and potential, wealth creation, job creation and enough tax revenue to help reduce the deficit- all things they claim to care about.

debunked right wing tropes

if we featured one every morning, like a joke-of-the-day, we still couldn’t keep up

i was pondering one i read today about how the health insurance mandate financial support for people making under such and such an amount would - through market forces, natch - lead people to seek to earn less income in order to qualify:

In other words, it’s “from each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs.” If you don’t like how much being able is costing you, just become less able, i.e. more needy. When large numbers of people decide to follow this thinking, you will have what exactly? Ask the USSR. It failed. Good thinking.

Well, hopefully this instills some reflection in the republican machinery to perhaps encourage a more educated electorate or ‘base.’ I think the internet and the 24 hour news cycle have in some ways created a kind of transparency, and for the first time a lot of republicans are trying to put into words their political worldview when it fact might not even be a rational or existent one. I believe this is why a lot migrated to the Tea Party - at least it looked like an ideology (some kind of mix of libertarianism, social conservativism, nationalism and a hint(?) of xenophobia).

At the very least, its a push back against the current state of american plutocracy. Romney, Huntsman (and most ‘establishment’ republicans) are exemplary examples of plutocratic politicians. Children of the top 5 or even 1 percent.

Many right-wing thinktanks did embrace it, and they were the original creators of things such as carbon trading. Its essentially an entirely new market. As an environmentalist, I’m glad idiotic conservatives have essentially derailed such programs.

Only if there are incentives. Note the Tuna markets in Japan. As prize bluefin tuna become more rare, the price goes up to obscene levels. Instead of trying to conserve some to guarentee a profitabe future for all fisherman, the incentive at this moment is to get the remaining few as quickly as possible for short term profit…even though that means you wipe them our forever.

If he doesn’t recant from this pro-science position soon, he’ll also lose the GOP’s astroturfing sugardaddies (i.e. the Killionaire Koch brothers).

I predict the GOP nominee will be whomever they most approve of, but at this time, I can’t guess who that is.

Moreover, Dick Morris (mercenary jerk though he is) actually had a good point about Palin: Unless she actually runs (he doesn’t think she will) the effect she’s having right now is to pull the spotlight away from any others who might run for the Republican nomination. That sucks away the oxygen from all the other candidates except one: Mitt Romney. Romney doesn’t need the spotlight as much right now because he already has money, organization and name recognition. Thus, the longer Sarah Palin flirts with running, the better it is for Romney. Unless Palin actually runs, in which case the primary season could split the GOP.

Japan has a very strong chauvinistic streak, which sometimes manifests itself in a refusal to listen to the rest of the world. Many Japanese don’t want to give in to Westerners, so advice on saving the Bluefin is rejected because they don’t like the source.

This is the Internet, it’s full of them. No surprise. I’d rather you spend the time writing a post about national security or foreign policy. That’s where your brilliance shows and why I came to this site in 2001. I know you’ve moved into political news since then but can’t we have some of the old stuff?

I went to the link at Hot Air and found their community fascinating if not convincing. They have a long discussion there criticizing the car company bailout. That is an odd position to take. They say bankruptcy would have helped the most people and made the car companies BETTER off, which seems even on the face of it ridiculous.
