Santorum Denies Global Warming
March 15, 2012
Even for a party that wears its anti-science label almost with pride, the GOP has recently been outdoing itself on global warming.
"The dangers of carbon dioxide? Tell that to a plant, how dangerous carbon dioxide is," presidential contender Rick Santorum said at the Gulf Coast Energy Summit in Biloxi, Mississippi, on March 12.
And to prove that this wasnt just off-the-cuff rhetorical excess, Santorum penned an op-ed for the conservative website Red State. He portrayed a belief in science as part of a deficient, anti-Christian, anti-American mindset.
Of all the GOP candidates, I am the only one who has not bowed, and will never bow, to this liberal orthodoxy, Santorum wrote in a March 10 column. I did not pander when global warming seemed cool to the press and to Hollywood. We know that climate changes over time, that the Earth warms and cools over time. The apostles of this pseudo-religion believe that America and its people are the source of the Earths temperature. I do not.

We need to abandon science based explanations and go for dramatic ones. If we let CO2 rise much more, you're gonna need a tougher mower to deal with the plants in your yard before they eat you.
