GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney has riled his partymates with his assertion that the planet is warming and humans are (at least somewhat) to blame.
It's pretty much the only thing Mitt hasn't flip-flopped on so far. As I reported last month, though, the former Massachusetts governor is not the only 2012 candidate with a green "problem."
Now, rather than risk being labeled a heretic, former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum wants to make it absolutely clear that he definitely does not have any green skeletons in his closet.
In an appearance on the Rush Limbaugh's show, Santorum—noted climate scientist that he is—declared the idea of global warming "patently absurd."
The exchange was both woefully ignorant of basic science and delved deep into the realm of conspiracy theory, with Santorum calling the scientific consensus a "beautifully concocted scheme" to institute global governance.
