 Rick Santorum: ‘The dangers of carbon dioxide? Tell that to a plant’    By Dylan Stableford
Senior Media Reporter  By Dylan Stableford | The Ticket – 4 hrs ago     
 

• Santorum holds a piece of shale as he speaks at the Gulf Coast Energy Summit in Biloxi, March 12, 2012. (AP/Rogelio …

   Rick Santorum told attendees at the Gulf Coast Energy Summit in Biloxi, Mississippi, on Monday to trust his judgment on the environment, highlighting his position on climate change—that is, that it's a liberal myth.
"The dangers of carbon dioxide? Tell that to a plant, how dangerous carbon dioxide is," Santorum said, according to the Associated Press.
Santorum sharpened his tone on the energy issue as the country's surging gas prices have come into focus.
"I didn't change as the climate changed," Santorum said. "I stood tall. Now the climate has changed and everyone's for drilling now. But understand that when times were tough, they were not and I was."
As he did last month, Santorum positioned himself as the only candidate in the GOP field that stands polar opposite of Obama on energy, calling global warming a "hoax."
On Saturday, an op-ed penned by Santorum was published on RedState.com, explaining his position in more detail.
"The Washington Establishment would rather fight global warming than fight for American jobs," Santorum wrote. "President Obama and his administration have decided to wage war against global warming and thus against the American worker. ... Those living on or near the Gulf Coast in particular know the impact these extreme environmental positions can have on the region's economy."
Santorum's GOP opponents, Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich, have flip-flopped and "supported the radical environmentalists' measures to combat global warming at the expense of American jobs."
More:
 

Romney and Gingrich have changed their views for one simple reason: to pander to Republican voters when the political heat is rising. They sought to ingratiate themselves with trendy liberal elites—despite lack of conclusive, verifiable scientific evidence ... Of all the GOP candidates, I am the only one who has not bowed, and will never bow, to this liberal orthodoxy. 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. This debate is about whether human activity plays a role, and whether U.S. emissions cuts can have any effect when China and India refuse to go along. The apostles of this pseudo-religion believe that America and its people are the source of the earth's temperature. I do not.

Gingrich, for his part, also took the anti-Obama baton during his speech to the same summit Monday. "[This is a] very anti-fossil fuel administration," Gingrich said. "The left wing environmental movement hates oil."

[nomosendero]

Well yea!!

[magooch]

I looked out the window today at the snow fallling from the sky and said, something has to be done about this danged global warming.

[SwampThing762]

I know one way to stop global warming.....take away Obama's teleprompters.

[mcwoodduck]

Clearly it is a hoax.
It does not use scientific methode to prove or disprove the hypothisis.
When they do not take the heat source into account and 75% of the data collection sites are corrupted by being close to an artificial heat source.
Nothing they say can be taken as truth.
Also when in science is a so called majority then taken as fact.
In the 1300's the majority thought the earth was flat and that you would fall off.
In a few years 3rd graders will laugh at the idea of global warming just like we did at a flat earth.  And will wonder how so many people could be that Stupid!
I also am wondering why the liberals are against bullying in school when they use it so well to quell any one questioning their money maker of green BS.

[Sourdough]

The only thing I agree with him on.  He is right on this issue.  I have always said the trees and the plants will take care of the Carbon, we just need to plant more plants. 

[ironglow]

  Basic science;
      Humans and animal life need oxygen, plant life needs CO2..a wonderful exchange plan which God designed.  If we had a super abundance of CO2..plant life would be growing all over us like kudzu..
         "Global warming" was junk science so they started calling it "climate change"...well DUH !  The climate is changing all the time.. from El nino, sunspots & flares etc. 
    Then they were caught lying and "cooking the books'.. so their credibility on global warming is ZILCH !

[BUGEYE]

If it wasn't for global warming, we'd still be in the ice age.
for a long time it was said that the sun would burn itself out in a few million years.
now, it's getting hotter.

I like Rick.  I hope he makes it all the way.

[SHOOTALL]

I like Rick.  I hope he makes it all the way.

Holy Cow we agree ! 
 
global warming , it occures over thousands of years if not moillions as does cooling . Its like saying if I go swiming in the Atlantic ocean my body heat will effect the Gulf Stream or if I tinkle while swiming it could cause flooding along the East coast of the USA.

[Raptor]

That doesn,t surprise me, I bet he thinks the earth is only 4,000 years old too, Santorum doesn,t have brain.
People need to start looking at the facts more, thats what got our country into trouble in first place.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
 
  On what do you base your assumption ?  I have never heard santorum comment on the age of the earth, please post a credible source which backs your contention..

What evidence makes you think we have man made global warming?
I can show three reasons why do not.
1) Al Gore still flys on his private airplane and travels in a convoy, has multiple large houses
2) Alternate fuels are using more diesel fuels to make than they produce.  Those alternative fuels still produce CO2
3) We would not allow goods in from 3rd world countries that are creating problems like China and India.
 
Clearly this Green thing, Man Made global warming is a Hoax to weaken the US.  To grab control over people and give them fewer options.  It is a money maker for people like the academics that have to do studies on impact.  It has made Al Gore a Billionaire with his carbon credits.  Remember Al Owns a majority of Occidental Oil.  Wouldn't he have closed it if Oil was the big cause?  Wouldn't Al have taken his Billions in carbon credits and built some alternative energy source (wind or solar farm and produce energy, built a hydrogen fuel cell plant, built a hydrogen fuel cell car company.  No he continues to buy houses fly here and there and grope luxury hotel maids.
 

[Swampman]

Even the most fundemental Christians don't believe the earth is only 4,000 years old.  Get your facts straight.

[Swift One]

The earth goes through several geological changes.  Just a natural process.  I read somewhere a few years ago that we were over due for another ice age.

[lakota]

A little off topic...Who decided that Al Gore could sell "Carbon Credits"? I am sure that a "Carbon Credit" isnt a tangible good?
 
Whats to stop me from selling "Carbon Credits" myself on ebay?

[crustylicious]

His denial in the face of irrefutable facts could cost him the election if he makes it that far.

No doubt it changes , the debate is cause and effect . Guess its easier to stop gas engines instead of making cows stop passing gas  . That is the debate really    Some liberals / communist / soicalist JUST HAVE TO DO SOMETHING !
 Hey think about it people are on avg 98.6 DEG. in temp. Now consider there are more every day , a fact. So if some went away things would cool down , Right ? logical really  .

Nothing
I tried to get my Step Mother to sell Carbon credits for each tree on the farm.
You pay $10 a year for 100 carbon credits for a tree with a few hundred acers of trees,
Now the other way was the guilty bought a carbon credit to use a walkman and they then sent X$ - minus their fee to some goat herder in the Sudan not to use a walkman and that way you off set you foot print.
Huge scam.  Some say the lottery is a tax on stupid people, but those same people have a chance of winning no matter how small.  Carbon credits are a tax on stupid people that have no chance of paying off (except those that sell them) kind of the same as paying to name a star after someone.

And 98% of American Kids under 7 Believe in the Easter bunny or the tooth Fairy, when you grow up and look at the facts.  Things change and like I said before at some point the same Well Duh! attatude we have about the earth being round and not flat is what will happen with the fraud that is Man Made Global warming.  We may have global warming nad if the data collection points were not corupted by outside heat sources and that the satalite data is showing the temps are stable for the past 20 years I believe them.
On the other hand the last time we had a warming it was what ended the Dark ages and brought about the renassance ending the Viking raids, and expanding trade and exploration.  The warming of the earth by a degree or two made farming easier.  What would the world be like if we could Farm Siberia and Alaska.  Would it drive down food costs, drive down fuel costs as it would be easier to drill in warm weather?

Shoot all,
I think that is one of those Myths.
If that were the case it would not snow over NYC between the 5 to 7 million People and hte heating loads of the buildings.
I think it also follows along the same lines when China hit a Billion there was a worry that if they all jumped at the same time it would knock the earth out of orbit.  Something we have not seen when Metors with more mass than a Billion People slammed into the earth.
Makes great science fiction. Though.
Kind of like Logan's Run.  Where they kill you at 35.

I was smiling while typing , the silly ideas we use to decide our leader , Load hepl us , please . BTW when addressing global warming it seems a degree or two every 100 -150 or more years is the rate so I doubt it would slow snow fall over NYC as fast as you offered .....

[mcwoodduck]

No I ment the heat comming off 5 to 7 million people in NYC would heat the city and cause there to be a bubble of heat over it that would keep it from snowing.
You know like when the roads are warm and it is snowing in Richmond and nothing sticks to the roads but the grass is turning white.

Global warming is a hoax.  It has been proven in a paper.  A summary is as follows:

• Share:

   Posted on October 3, 2010 by John Hinderaker  The Global Warming Hoax: A Summary Global warming alarmism is not science.  It is a toxic combination of pseudo-religion and totalitarian politics.  To the extent that there is any debate over climate science–the alarmists run from debate like vampires fleeing garlic–the “skeptics” always win.  If you want to follow climate science controversies in a rigorous but accessible fashion, check out the Science and Environmental Policy Project’s web site.  Among other things, it features a weekly update on matters relating to the global warming debate.
 This week’s SEPP newsletter includes an excellent piece by Dr. Harrison “Jack” Schmitt, a former United States Senator from New Mexico as well as a geologist and former Apollo astronaut who currently is an aerospace consultant.  Dr. Schmitt reviews some of the basic evidence that the alarmists try to wish away. You really should read it all; here are some excerpts:
 

Policy makers at the head of government in the United States and elsewhere apparently want to believe, and to have others believe, that human use of fossil fuels accelerates global warming. They pursue this quest in order to impose ever greater and clearly unconstitutional control on the economy and personal liberty in the name of a hypothetically omnipotent government. There exists no true concern by the President or Congressional Leadership about the true effects of climate change – only a poorly concealed, ideologically driven attempt to use conjured up threats of catastrophic consequences as a lever to gain authoritarian control of society.
 There has been an absolute natural increase in global surface temperature of half a degree Centigrade per 100 years (0.9 degrees Fahrenheit) over the last three and a half centuries.  Observational climate data and objective interpretations of those data strongly indicate that nature, not human activity, exerts the primary influence on this current long term warming and on all global climate variations. Human influence through use of fossil fuels has been and remains minor if even detectable.  Claims to the contrary only find support in highly questionable climate models that fail repeatedly against the reality of nature. What, then, stimulates historically and geologically observed, sometimes slow and sometimes radical, changes in climate?
 The primary alternative hypothesis to human-caused global warming is natural climate change driven by the Sun. … As many scientists have documented, the position and orientation of the Earth in its orbit around the sun, and the Sun’s variable influence and activity, determine weather and climate.  Seasons vary because of changing solar energy input in annual response to the varying orientation of Earth’s Northern and Southern Hemispheres. … Further, variations in solar radiation received by the Earth correlate with short-term variations in Earth’s weather, based on the slow movement of loops called “Rossby waves” in atmospheric jet streams.
 Observations by astronomers over the centuries, as well as studies of tree rings, stalagmite layers, and other pre-historic and geological records, have defined an 11-year sunspot cycle superimposed on a number of longer climate cycles. Much modern research documents that the sunspot cycle also correlates with variations in stratospheric winds and ozone production, cosmic ray flux, ionosphere-troposphere interactions, and the global electrical circuit that exists between the ionosphere and the Earth’s surface.
 Correlations of records of seasonal changes, solar activity cycles, and local and regional rainfall oscillations all confirm that in some way radiation emanating from the Sun drives changes in weather and climate. Solar interplanetary magnetic fields, whose polarity varies every 22 years or twice the sunspot cycle, may play an additional role as their strength varies directly with increases and decreases in numbers of sunspots. …
 More broadly, geological and planetological observations show that major perturbations in climate relate to the position and orientation of the Earth in its orbit around the Sun. For example, as Serbian mathematician Milutin Milankovic pointed out in 1941, as have many others since, initiation of the major ice ages on Earth correlate with a 23,000-year precession cycle, a 41,000-year obliquity cycle, and a 100,000-year eccentricity cycle in the position of the Earth relative to the Sun. …
 Climate cycles related to internal solar activity are superposed on long-term orbital cycles. For example, the Medieval Warm Period (800-1300) and the Little Ice Age (1400-1900) correlate, respectively, with very active and very passive periods of recorded sunspot activity. As a fairly recent example of solar influence on climate, the Little Ice Age occurred during a 500-year long sequence of three deep reductions in sunspot frequency.  The coldest temperatures came during the last of these minima, a 70- year period of exceptionally few sunspots (the Maunder Minimum).  The Medieval Warm Period, (when the Vikings colonized Greenland, glaciers retreated, and farmers could at least survive) also correlates to repeated multi-century long, high sunspot frequency.
 Since the end of the early 1900s, peak values in sunspot activity rose steadily until 1960, leveling off at higher than normal values until apparently starting to fall about 2000.
 The 11-year sunspot cycle repetitions are superimposed on a number of long-term cycles of past highs and lows in solar activity. For example, the Gleissberg cycle has imprecisely defined periods of 90 ± 30 years in length.  More energetic sunspot activity in the Gleissberg cycle may correlate with temporary decades of warming, such as in the 1930s and 1990s with the reverse being true in the 1810s and 1910s. Analyses of tree rings, lake levels, cave deposits, tree ring variations in cosmic ray-produced isotopes (14C and 10Be), and oxygen isotope ratios record what appear to be other long period solar cycles, specifically, 2400, 1500 years, 200, as well as the Gleissberg cycle.
 Many advocates of human-caused global warming agree that solar cycles show correlations with regional climate variations; but, absent a proven amplification mechanism to enhance small solar energy (irradiance) variations, they reject nature in favor of fossil fuel burning.

It is worth noting that the alarmists are inconsistent, in that their own theory, that carbon dioxide is a sort of thermostat that controls Earth’s temperature, is plausible only if all objective effects of CO2 in the atmosphere are multiplied by “positive feedbacks” of various kinds.  The difference is that empirically, Earth’s temperatures correlate closely with solar activity, while they correlate hardly at all with the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere, which has varied widely over geologic history.
 

Specifically with respect to the last 120 years, the correlation of measured solar energy input variations with global surface temperature and sea surface temperature is very strong.  The statistical correlation of solar irradiance with air temperature has been about 79%.  In contrast, during the last 50 years, the correlation of measured carbon dioxide increases with global surface temperature has been only about 22%. This directly contradicts the assumption that carbon dioxide has had a large influence on climate in the last 50 years. …
 Additional support that an amplification mechanism exists comes from recent observational data on variations in stratospheric water vapor concentrations over three decades. These data suggest that decreases in water vapor have contributed to amplified sea surface cooling since 2000 while increases between 1980 and 2000 accented surface warming.  This relationship may correspond with stratospheric cooling and lower water retention due to lower than average solar energy input since 2000.
 Climate change driven by the Sun constitutes a strongly competitive, purely scientific hypothesis to the climate modeling-political hypothesis of human-caused global warming advocated by climate modelers and their acolytes in the science, media, and political establishments. … The current decade or longer period of cold winters in the northern United States and Europe coincide with a relatively prolonged reduction in sunspot activity below even the norm for a minimum in the 11-year cycle.
 Actual observations show that climate varies in response to natural forces and that human burning of fossil fuels has had negligible effect over the last 100 years.

Global Warming Hoax
It is not the responsibility of ‘climate realist’ scientists to prove that dangerous human-caused climate change is not happening. Rather, it is those who propose that it is, and promote the allocation of massive investments to solve the supposed ‘problem’, who have the obligation to convincingly demonstrate that recent climate change is not of mostly natural origin and, if we do nothing, catastrophic change will ensue. To date, this they have utterly failed to do so.

[Swift One]

Global warming is real- but not in the sense that polititians want you to believe.  Its' a natural occurance that has happened many times over on earth

[ironglow]

His denial in the face of irrefutable facts could cost him the election if he makes it that far.
More Americans Now Believe in Climate Change

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
 
  Some truth in the foregoing.... "Ignorance can be fixed; stupid is for a lifetime" !

[magooch]

But, but, but, does that mean there is no "consensus?"  Does this mean that real science isn't settled by consensus of liberal ideologists?  Does this mean that non-weather scientists with a hand out agenda have been skewing the data and they can't be blindly trusted?  So many questions, to consider, but why do the believers continue to abuse the fragile environment by exhaling CO2?  They should all stop this irresponsible practice to save the world.
 
I favor warming, so I will continue to do whatever I can to bring it on.

[ironglow]

  Right Magooch !
 
     I think I will borrow from Obammy..  The warmies should do their "fair share" to combat global warming...and simply quit exhaling all those noxious, CO2 fumes..
   Great Idea !           

[mcwoodduck]

Global warming is real- but not in the sense that polititians want you to believe.  Its' a natural occurance that has happened many times over on earth

And that is the RUB.
The difference between Global Warming and MAD MADE global warming.
When they are talking and creating regulations that kill jobs and increase prices they are talking about man made global warming (the Hoax)
When they defend their position they talk about natural global warming.
 
And so far over the last 20 years we have not warmed according to the salite data.  The ground collection sites are mostly corrupted and are influenced by outside heat sources.
