Mitt Romney reiterated his lukewarm belief in anthropogenic
global warming at a December 17, 2011 town hall meeting at the Horry-Georgetown Technical College Grand Stand Campus in Myrtle Beach, South
Carolina.
“I am not a scientist. I have not built a model of how the
environment, the earth works,” Romney said, according to ABC News. “I think the
Earth is getting warmer. I may be wrong. Number two, I think we contribute to
that. Number three, I don’t know how much we contribute to that.”
The former Massachusetts Governor also chided fellow 2012
Republican presidential candidate and one time House Speaker Newt Gingrich for
appearing alongside Nancy Pelosi in a 2008 television ad sponsored by Al Gore’s
Alliance for Climate Protection.
