TELL MITT ROMNEY: CLIMATE CHANGE ISN’T A JOKE
Much of the nation is reeling from Superstorm Sandy. As families rebuild from Sandy’s destruction, our thoughts are with the victims of this horrific, fossil-fueled storm.
When Gov. Mitt Romney made climate change a punch line at the Republican National Convention, he mocked a real threat to the lives of Americans.
We can’t let Mitt get away with his laughing dismissal of the threat of rising seas caused by the carbon polluters who fund his campaign. Share this ad with friends and family to tell Romney: climate change isn’t a joke.
from: Tell Mitt Romney: climate change isn’t a joke
That cynical putdown of climate change consciousness must have looked so good on paper, and the pandering Etch-A-Sketch candidate delivered his punchline well — although biting his lip was too theatrical for my taste.
Now it just looks typically short-sighted. But then remember: Romney was a ‘vulture capitalist’ according to Rick Perry, and never a long-term investor. He’s 65, so his timeline is different. These things matter in the climate change debate.

Sometimes I don’t know where to start.
I can’t stand Romney and what we stands for. And Obama is a 2 faced Spin machine.
However, what I heard Romney say is rather than try and fix Global Warming, (which time and time again is proven to be exaggerated and used to scare the public to make money) Romney is going to look after the People directly.
Romney s right on this one the faster the Public realise this Global Warming is natural cycle this Planet takes and the public’s part of a Scam.
The less money is going to go into these pricks pockets. eg Al Gore.
Its easy to play the planet needs to be saved for our future, and sure many things can be done to help the environment and encourage Warming.
BUt the threats of constant Earth destruction is just BS and this repetitive message we need to something now before its too late. I have heard this for 10 years. Now and yet the other day I read the Ozone Hole is smaller than its been for many many years. Um so we did something No. This Planet is far stronger and more powerful than we could ever muster.
Dr David Viner, A research scientist “assured us Britons would never see snow again because of global warming aka climate change:”
Yet the following Winter, the UK had the coldest and snowiest winter in Decades and it arrived months early , its this sort of BS reporting that’s pisses me off.
NY Mayor Michael Bloomberg has endorsed Obama — partially over the climate change issue which you seem to see as some kind of scientific fraud. Oh, and Etch-A-Sketch Romney’s (surprise, surprise) “reversal of course”. I find his argument more convincing than yours, Craig.
A Vote for a President to Lead on Climate Change – Bloomberg http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-11-01/a-vote-for-a-president-to-lead-on-climate-change.html
And Bloomberg is an expert how.? Excatly becasuee its on the internet he must be an expert. Give me a break Peter.
You yet again fall for the its on TV it must be true.
Hes probably Politically pressured into being Pro Climate change.
I know I’m in the minority here with the Climate change debate.
But I’m ‘more right’ than most.
Of all the crazy things climate contrarians say, this may be my favourite. Did we do something? Yes, arguably the most effective international action on an environs issue ever.
Thanks for your comment David.
Yes, efforts to eliminating CFCs and flourocarbons as propellants and refrigerants sprung to my mind too.
Dunno for certain whether that affected the ozone hole, but good move, it seemed to me …
The removal of CFC’s is a great thing and has helped the environment with out question.
But I have a link for you
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlation_does_not_imply_causation
If your theory was true the Ozone would have shrunk year on year yet in 2011 it was larger than in 2010 and 2009. and when it grows again in the next few years because it will. You claim will be what we are using more CFC’s again.
Heres another reason.
“The decline in the size of the ozone hole this year wasn’t due to tougher environmental laws or better practices by industry and polluters. Rather, it was due to normal temperature fluctuations.
“The ozone hole mainly is caused by chlorine from human-produced chemicals, and these chlorine levels are still sizable in the Antarctic stratosphere,” said atmospheric scientist Paul Newman in a statement posted on NASA’s website. “Natural fluctuations in weather patterns resulted in warmer stratospheric temperatures this year. These temperatures led to a smaller ozone hole.”
