Romney: “We Contribute” to Global Warming
In this clip, Mitt Romney says he believes the globe is getting warmer and that humans are contributing to climate change.
He later retreats from this position, but in this video, he says, “The planet’s probably getting warmer, I think we’re experiencing warming, that’s number 1. Number 2, I believe that we contribute some portion of that. Number 3, I don’t know how much, it could be a lot, it could be a little.”
This footage was captured by an American Bridge tracker in Mancester, NH, on September 28, 2011.
