Mitt Romney mocks EPA in Manchester, NH

Mitt Romney may believe that humans contribute to global warming, but that doesn’t mean he thinks the EPA should do anything about it.

"I’m all in favor of eliminating pollution," Romney told voters at a November 18, 2011 event in Manchester, NH. “Now I know there is also a movement to say that carbon dioxide should be guided or should be managed by the Environmental Protection Agency. I disagree with that."

"I exhale carbon dioxide," he also said, openly mocking the EPA. "I don’t want those guys following me around with a meter to see if I’m breathing too hard."

Mitt Romney on energy efficiency

Former Massachusetts governor and 2012 Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney shared his thoughts on energy efficiency last Friday at a town hall meeting at the University of New Hampshire in Manchester. Watch video of his comments and read the transcript below:



Mitt Romney on energy efficiency: 

… I also want to see us become more energy efficient. I’m told that we use almost twice as much energy per person as does a European and more like three times as much energy as does a Japanese citizen. We could do a lot better.

I’d like to see us in our vehicles, in our homes, in our systems of insulation and so forth become far more efficient. I think that’s happening and I believe that we have a role to try to encourage that to happen.

Mitt Romney talks climate change in Manchester (video)

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney candidate made it clear he still believes in anthropogenic global warming at yesterday's town hall meeting at the University of Manchester. Watch video and read a transcript of his comments below:

I don’t speak for the scientific community of course, but I believe the world is getting warmer. I can’t prove that, but I believe based on what I read that the world is getting warmer.

And then, number two, I believe humans contribute to that. I don’t know how much our contribution is to that because I know there have been periods of greater heat and warmth in the past, but I believe we contribute to that.

And so, I think it is important for us to reduce our emissions of pollutants and greenhouse gases that may well be significant contributors to the climate change and the global warming that we see.
