Poll: Republicans Coming Around on Global Warming

I am sorry to read that Gov. Romney believes in global warming and has faith in the political climatologists. Does he really think that NOAA, NASA, and other bureaucrat and university scientists whose salaries depend on propagating the carbon hoax will say anything different? Get real Governor, you are listening to extremists who realize their jig is about up.

This was a real dumb and biased poll because it didn't deal with reality. It assumes that humans ether caused or did not cause global warming. The reality is not one or the other. Of course the CO2 released has had some effect but the question is how much?
Few Tea Party people say there is no global warming but question the amount that humans contribute and whether or not it has leveled off since 1998. We think it is crazy to spend trillions on preventing global warming when the money spent may have little or no effect. We may be better off spending the money to prevent the next asteroid from hitting us.

Gosh, LUTHER of LA
You are certainly right in your analysis of overpopulation and global warming--although there are even more complicated variables involved by way of corporate CEOs and politicians who fail to include Human American citizens in their plans for the future of America--and NOT good plans, by the way, for the benefit of the majority of U.S. citizens. Politicians and corporations working together, intend to use, without remorse, America's last drop of oil, last water well, last farm, last animal, last forest, last mountain, and all in the name of corporate power and profit.
Global warming is something that corporations want to repress, and DID repress in the George W. Presidency, and continue to pay politicians to go along with them. If we would just believe there is NO global warming, corporations will never, again, be obligated to clean up the mess they make, (and already made) on land, sea, and water. These corporations call for "less government" not because we are repressed by regulations. Federal regulations became necessary because of the unethical practices of corporations and unethical business practices.
These corporations, now called "Citizens" of the U.S.A., and the politicians who corporations "bought," are loaded with corrupiont, are certainly self-interested, and feel entitled to commit unethical actions to our beloved Country, in the name of profit and greed. As I commented before, and I am quoting a stockbroker I know personally: "Corporations are not in the business of patriotism; they are in the business of profit." Corporate power, too, is a major cause of global warming.

Most laws passed for the environment at all levels have come from the Democratic Party. Perhaps Republican politicians have figured out there are more green votes out there as well a business opportunities. Or perhaps they are objectively looking at international evidence rather than skewed surveys put together by interested parties.
And then we have the oil sands!

Nobody said the Tea Party was smart, and now the Republican are coming around, someone must have made a mistake and given the Republican a smart pill, that will change when they find out about the mistake they made with the pills.

Global warming is real based on the facts and has been definitely proven by elite scientists from throughout the world. If you don't believe that it exists at all then you are either dumb or just don't want to face the sacrifice and consequence that will come from it.

Global Warming hasn't been the issue, the issue has been “do you believe in man-made Global Warming”. Your article title is misleading and supports your own beliefs. If we could every get some honest scientific data things might change, but producing data just to support your belief, is junk science and no policies should ever be made on junk science.
Everyone knows that the earth has cooled and warmed over its history, even before man walked the earth. So what is causing it this time, a maybe it is the distance from the sun, maybe its mankind, NO knows yet.

All environmental problems have as their basis overpopulation, and Washington is still intent on exploding the population with historic levels of immigration and support for illegal immigration. The Jukes of population denial meet the Kallikaks of global warming denial in a confluence of hereditary taint and onanism.
