Rick Santorum just said "the weather has been changing for thousands of years".
Andrea Mitchell asked him about Huntsman's comment that he believed in climate change and mankind's involvement, and that was part of Santorum's reply. Immediately, I wished she'd followed up and asked him if he indeed meant "millions of years" just to see him bristle over the notion that the Earth could possibly be that old.

Santorum's core beliefs about the cosmos itself discredits any opinion he may make about climate science.

As an aside, he then directed viewers to his website to donate to his campaign. I forget the addy, so people may have to Google it. Hahahaha

Well, according to the Archbishop James Ussher and the Fundies.

4. Did you see Andrea call him Rick Sanitorium?
That was her "teaser" about ten minutes before her show began. :rofl:

His campaign funds are probably in the hole at this point.

5. He's right, it has been.
It's just been changing much faster since the industrial revolution due to all the carbon we've been pumping into the air.

That's not too difficult to understand, is it Rick?
