Huntsman Dings Perry: ‘Call Me Crazy’ But I Believe In Evolution And Global Warming

» 95 comments

Jon Huntsman is often regarded as too moderate a Republican to qualify for the GOP’s presidential nomination — he does, after all, support civil unions for gay couples, and served in the Obama administration as Ambassador to China. And his latest comments might not help fix that: Slamming Rick Perry‘s denial of global warming and non-answer on evolution.

Thursday afternoon, Huntsman tweeted:

To be clear. I believe in evolution and trust scientists on global warming. Call me crazy.

Hmm. Huntsman is running for the Republican nomination for president, and just tweeted that comment. Maybe we can call him crazy.

About one minute after posting his confidence in scientific consensus and expertise, Huntsman quickly tweeted an attack on President Obama‘s economic performance:

And also, with the jobs crisis this country faces, President Obama should be calling Congress back to DC, not going on a 10 day vacation.

    If someone dares to ask how Obama dragging ( kicking & screaming ) his family to a Christian church, after his muslim/communist upbringing actually qualifies him as Christian that someone is labelled by the MSM as a blatent racist.

    Yet when the likes of Chris Matthews and rest of the MSM douchebag squad question and make fun of candidate Rick Perry’s actual beliefs and inhabition in expressing same is somehow just ‘ all in a days work ‘.

    The left in this country is filled to the brim with racit bigots, starting at the very top, Obama himself.

    It’s just that most unsuspecting Americans still get their news from these un-American losers the truth is slow to get out.

    A science based Republican running for President?!?  He doesn’t have a snowball’s chance in Saudi Arabia of getting the nomination.

    Ironically, people will call Huntsman crazy, right TheLanterof”Truth?”  Maybe he was crazy for admitting that he has a science based understanding of reality if he thinks that is going to help get him nominated in his party.

  • Jo56

    Mr. Huntsman will not be the Republican nominee.  I guess during his stint in China he missed the stories about the fudged data by global warming scientists, the scientists who have attributed any climate swings on solar flares and sun spots and the whole host of contrarian scientists on the global warming. Evolution, of course, is a scientific theory not proven fact, but so too is the creation explanation.

    Oh wait “global warming” isn’t harmless it’s  a joy-killing, economy-killing, kid’s-brains-killing giant hoax fostered and nurtured by greedy con artists like Al Gore, and loved by left wing ghouls because the “blame humanity” part of it greatly appeals to their pathological hatred of the human race which grew from the self-loathing because theyre generally pitiful people.

    No, because the IPCC report has been “revised” numerous times because it turned out to be a load of BS. BTW, that report is the basis for Al Gore’s science fiction movie and the entire manmade global warming movement. It’s basically their Bible. And it’s been completely debunked. Let’s not forget also those hacked e-mails that exposed a bunch of “scientists” manipulating data. Enron account execs do that and they go to prison. Climate scientists do it and apparently we’re supposed to look the other way.

  • Republicans are Liars

    You’re an idiot. Global warming is happening. The incident you sighted has been proven time and time again to be false. Look idiot boy, there is a finite amount of oil in the earth. WE have to have new methods of energy. This is all encompassing. Cleaning up the air and making new sources of energy. Only morons will have a problem with this. And as far as your “theory” of evolution remark – evolution is a fact. Just like Einstein;s “Theory” of relativity it is a fact. The word theory is used to describe the process, moron. Where do you think those fossils in the ground come from. It is idiots like yourself that are just like the Taliban. You distrust knowledge because you have none.

    Because the “Climate Gatekeepers” use rigged computer code to “show” temperature increase no matter what data is input. 
    Because the “Climate Gatekeepers” used tree ring growth that “proved” their story while ignoring tree ring growth in the same forests that disproved their story.
    Because the “Climate Gatekeepers” ignore satellite data showing that far more heat is escaping from the Earth than was claimed.
    Because the “Climate Gatekeepers” make tons of money cooking up their bogus reports.
    Because the “Climate Gatekeepers” wiped away the warming from 850 to 1100 AD so they can claim warming never happened before.
    Because the “Climate Gatekeepers” claim there is to much CO2, when the optimum level is most likely 2 to 3 times the current level (the same NASA scientists mandate CO2 levels of approximately 2000 PPM for space flights instead of the current 460 to 480 PPM)
    Because the “Climate Gatekeepers” claim the sea levels are increasing, when the minor noted increase is right in line with predicted water addition from comets.
    Because there are only another 126 reasons I will save for a more appropriate time.

    That is your proof?

    Read the orginal scince article that the Forbes piece is talking about and see how that James Taylor guy is misrepresenting it.

    Do you not think the fact that the author constantly uses the word ‘alarmist’ suggests that he may not be entirely impartial on the matter?

    There are holes (if you excuse the pun) in every scientific theory but it doesn’t mean they are not true. If 99% of the evidence points one way, you can’t just get the 1% that doesn’t and run with it. It’s the same bullshit the far right pull with evolution.

    Why would all the left wing new outlets get as outraged as they were about the hacking of a supposedly “Public service” organisation which is supposed to be alerting the world like a true hero, like the Paul Revere of Polar bears or something, if they had nothing to hide?

    Your faith in the wisdom of “pretty much every government in the western world” is really quite touching.

    The fact is that when the kind of hard data that wasn’t previously available comes in, it contradicts the warmist’s vaunted computer models. For instance, when NASA started taking the earth’s temperatures from its satellite, those temperatures weren’t nearly as high as the data taken on the ground indicated. And just recently they found that far less heat is being trapped in the atmosphere than the computer models had predicted (especially over the oceans) and that the atmosphere begins shredding that heat far sooner than predicted. They describe the discrepancy between the models and the data as “huge.”

    Polls on the subject indicate that the percentage of Americans who believe human activity is the primary cause of any warming that may be occurring, or that warming itself is even a problem,  is steadily decreasing while the percentage of Americans who believe that some climate scientists falsify data to conform with their beliefs is increasing. In fact, each has reached and gone beyond the tipping point of 50%. I’m sure the “right wing” is gratified that its numbers are growing larger all the time.

    One need not look further than Agore’s melt down in Aspen last week to judge where concerns about AGW currently stand in the general scheme of things. Even those who still buy into the alarmism by a large margin put climate change dead last on their list of concerns.

    And is Roy Spencer, co-author of the study ” On the Misdiagnosis of Surface Temperature Feedbacks from Variations in Earth’s Radiant Energy Balance,” misrepresenting his own work when he says in a press release that “Earth’s atmosphere is apparently more efficient at releasing energy to space than models used to forecast climate change have been programmed to “believe”” and that “the result is climate forecasts that are warming substantially faster than the atmosphere?”
     
    Dr. Spencer: “The satellite observations suggest there is much more energy lost to space during and after warming than the climate models show. There is a huge discrepancy between the data and the forecasts that is especially big over the oceans.”
     
    He states further that climate models assume that the climate “should continue to absorb solar energy until a warming event peaks,” while the data shows the climate “starting to shed energy more than three months before the typical warming event reaches its peak:”
     
    ““At the peak, satellites show energy being lost while climate models show energy still being gained,” Spencer said.”
     
    He states there are a myriad of factors that “might make it impossible to isolate or accurately identify which piece of Earth’s changing climate is feedback from manmade greenhouse gases.”

    That’s quite a hole in the theory of AGW, wouldn’t you agree? But maybe Dr. Spencer is just another in a long line of far right cranks trying to pull the same bullshit they do with evolution.

    This guy is an absolute joke, First off, there is NO scientific consensus on MAN MADE global warming. To say that you believe in global warming–that is natural. non man made, global warming, is to believe in a scientific fact. To say that man has an affect on climate is to disagree with the facts. There has been so much evidence that Al Gore and Co. were lying and distorting but most libs dont know because the government media complex hasnt let you in on it. The lack of integrity amongst left leaning scientists is incredible. There are MANY scientist that have disproved Al Gores pseudo science and all of his sheeple are too dishonest with themselves to even look into it. Its incredible to me. You are all led blindly. Its the blind leading the blind. I dont expect any of you liberals to search for the truth. After the truth is your nemesis. Instead, you are going to make some comment about me not knowing anything or listening to so and so. The thing is, your wrong, I get my information from research. I have researched the issue. I have come to my own conclusion. I too once believed Big Al about MANBEARPIG(see Southpark). Then I ran into the facts and realized that MANBEARPIG(see Southpark) was all a lie. There is no consensus. The only reason you believe there is a consensus is because you are all sheep being led to the slaughter. Even NASA has put out information recently that says MAN MADE global warming is a fraud. Al Gore and his left leaning scientists are frauds. JOHN HUNTSMAN IS A FRAUD! Why the hell is he even running on a Republican ticket? He is a liberal democrat. This article is a joke. It describes him as too moderate. If he is a moderate then Al Gore is still relevant. Obviously thats not the case.

    “Breaking the law” is lying to the public. Spreading lies over the airways…web, tv, etc. Anyone who does so should be tried and convicted for treason. Get over yourself, educate yourself, actually use your brain. 

    But just in case. Allow me to repeat myself. If you can’t accept the scientific fact that global climate change is choking this planet and if not changed will be the downfall of the human race. IF YOU DENY THIS FACT YOU SHOULD BE HUNG IN PUBLIC AS A WARNING TO OTHERS. (I used Caps so the Teabggers could understand me)

    Talking about refusing to see what is fact…  Global warming models put forward by alarmist and chief, good friend and co-investor with Al Gore,  James Hanson predicting the end of civilization are unable to be reconciled to the real world data that has been collected over the last several years.  Hanson’s models just don’t hold up, as in his theory was wrong!

    “Hansen was NASA’s bright-eyed scientist back in 1988. The eager climate modeler appeared before a Congressional Committee and prophesized that mankind would kill the planet if it continued to burn coal and gasoline at modern industrial rates.
     
    Kalmanovich explains, “When you look closely at the climate change issue it is remarkable that the only actual evidence ever cited for a relationship between CO2 emissions and global warming is climate models.”
     
    Hansen made unfounded and highly alarmist claims based on his computer forecasts. He predicted doomsday scenarios that panicked Congress and that wave of fear stampeded the world into believing in a non-existent crisis. Global temperatures have never rocketed as Hansen forecast. In fact all five global temperature datasets show zero net global warming over the past decade in spite of record increases in CO2 emissions from fossil fuels (climate scientists have now grudgingly conceded no statistically significant rise in temperatures has occurred since 1998 from their doomsaying). ”
     
    http://co2insanity.com/2011/05/12/global-warming-fraud-creates-third-world-food-crisis/

     
    NASA satellite data from the years 2000 through 2011 show the Earth’s atmosphere is allowing far more heat to be released into space than alarmist computer models have predicted, reports a new study in the peer-reviewed science journal Remote Sensing. The study indicates far less future global warming will occur than United Nations computer models have predicted, and supports prior studies indicating increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide trap far less heat than alarmists have claimed.

    It must be hard to be the sane one among all the crazies.

    Nah….If you don’t believe in Evolution I just feel sorry for you and hope you don’t breed. 

  • Xlawnman

    I really believe he hates American or maybe he is a closet racist

  • Xlawnman

    By who????? Rush Limbaugh???? You guys are a joke.

  • Exgoper

    You’re right that he must be clown to think that Republicans would actually nominate someone sane. What a waste of time.

  • Exgoper

    And your lie ain’t a “fact.”

  • Exgoper

    Blah, blah, blah. For every one scientist that you can put forward who’s skeptical of the data we can put up 100 who aren’t. The bottom line is that there’s near unanimity on the fact that climate change is real, we’re experiencing it right now in extreme weather patterns, and man has played a role in this.

    What I don’t get about people like you whose minds are closed to data is why you think it’s actually bad to be working towards a better environment, burning fewer fossil fuels, conserving energy, making the water and skies cleaner and more livable, relying more on renewable resources. The fact that you fight this fight tooth-and-nail makes you look like a ridiculous ideologue. You may not give a rat’s ass about making this a better place to live, but we do.

    I’m sorry to disappoint some of you on this subject, but no there is no global warming and no we were not evolutionized from apes.  For those of us who do believe in the Bible….we know what to expect from this world. If you do not…then you naturally are going to believe this stuff. Some of you just want to be contriversal for the sake of being so. Whatever you chose is your business; just as mine is to believe in the Bible. This earth was created by God and will be distroyed by God….in His time. Believe it or not…again your choice. Therefore, Christians believe that global warming does not exist because God is in control.  Evolution does not exist because we were not created from apes.  If that were true..why are there still apes????

    Actually Pablo.  Science doesn’t compromise.  Science is proven. With Huntsman giving this statement…he will not get my vote and I would dare to say probably not the vote of many others. We all know that Al Gore’s stunt was nothing but a money maker for him.  He has become a millionaire by promoting it.  For a president to believe in evolution in today’s society would be as bad as believing in gay marriage.

    A book of fairy tales written by drunk monks. That is credible stuff!!!

  • CLTStraightGuy

    Wow, you two really have an axe to grind don’t you?
    Mona, we could say the same for Darwin and his theory, but I look at objectively on both ends.  Your “Reason” stops with you… and that is where your ideology of science falls flat on its ass.

  • CLTStraightGuy

    Sorry if that bothers you but I’ll stop calling you “Guy” when you stop calling people who have a difference of opinion Teabaggers, and stupid just because they disagree with you and your Socialist Cronies.

    Your idea of being enlightened is your first mistake an enlightened person reasons and debates in a balanced manner, they don’t tongue lash, make threats at people and be little them.
    They win them over, and don’t war them over.

    3 Socialist Economies in the World that are the most stable?? Okay I’ll bite, what the heck are you talking about?

    Your Science Fact, is more like Science Fiction.  You have a lot to say but don’t take any constructive criticism seriously.  Your lack of knowledge in the Bible is likely laughable so don’t even go there.
    You demean people as just a Liberal Reactionary usually does so that shouldn’t surprise anyone.
    You likely got wounded by someone in the Church, or it doesn’t agree with your particular lifestyle so that is likely why you are so hateful towards it and people of faith.

    Here’s how you argue…

    “If no one believes You…well, they’re all stupid.”

    I’ve got news for you, Pal.  You don’t know everything, and yeah, there are a hell of a lot more people smarter than you and I out there, and by the way, many of those believe in God, and the Bible.

    So if you are deriving that you evolved from a primate then by your reasoning I am inclined to believe you.

    Eat a banana and relax, or if you want to Join Al on the Road and prove your point, just don’t expect those of us who can think for ourselves to believe you when you or your reactionary alarmist pals call everyone who doesn’t subscribe to you and Al’s slide presentation and rantings as brainless or deficient.

  • CLTStraightGuy

    On the other hand I would hope more that people would actually try and understand each other.  Your view above would be like saying ‘We wouldn’t want people making up their own mind about things, when you can make their mind up for them…hey, isn’t that control?’

  • CLTStraightGuy

    As opposed too … Because Al told you so?

  • Anonymous

    I don’t need to understand idiots. It’s not worth my time. One would think you would have picked that up by now. 

  • Anonymous

    You feel better now..I loved your stock Righty argument up there. Yada, yada, yada, science fiction. Yada, yada, yada, my bible. Yada, yada, yada, Al Gore. Yada, yada, yada, why check your facts I’ll just make up my own. Here’s a pat on the head….Good Boy. 

    I don’t demean people because I am a “Reactionary Liberal” 
    I demean people when they are F#$%king stupid. 

    PS. I knew you wouldn’t get the buddy/guy/pal reference. Way to intellectual for the likes of you.

    Perry graduated from Texas A&M University in 1972 with a 2.22 GPA, earning a bachelor’s degree in animal science. Perry does not have a degree in Global warming, economics or anything else and therefore isn’t qualified to speak on these issues! Rick Perry became a millionaire on Texas taxpayers quarter! Rick does not have an economics degree but he and the TEA party-ers have been doing everything they could to do away with Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid! TEA party members are working to inhibit or destroy! The TEA party has subverted any sanity, the once proud and now defunct GOP had, and made them irrelevant!

    Then judging from your primal response I would agree with that synopsis vice versa.

    Hard to believe though, what about John Lennon ‘Imagine’ , Brotherhood of man and all that coexist stuff?
    I guess you goofy atheist types believe in only one thing… yourselves.  Heaven help anyone who is stupid enough to trust you and you alone.

    You seriously think this guy will be running against BO?  You and your cronies are the ones that are living in a delusion.  

  • CLTStraightGuy

    You demean people because you are full of yourself, and likely full of it too.
    I’ll give you credit I am sure in those dregs of conscience there is some sort of forging for truth.

    You couldn’t comprehend any of my accolades nor do you even have an understanding of reasoning, let alone intellect.

    And you have definitely proven yourself as a Reactionary Liberal.

    Glad you loved something though especially if you thought it was Right…
    Yada, Yada?  What are we on an episode of Seinfeld, or are you just inducing Yiddish slang into the conversation just to skip over the topics?  Inducing sarcasm is no way to reason nor come to an understanding or balanced synopsis.

    I’ll come down to your level on the next line…

    I do believe you are an intellectual as much as your primate relatives, and like them you sure like to throw your shit at other people.

    (Back to the topic)

    You want to believe Global Whining?  Go ahead you and Al can go around proselytizing and claiming it to be true, You can pay for it all too unless you have already done what Gore has done and invested millions into this crock to turn a profit off fear mongering.

    The rest of us will just smile and nod while you continue your crusade.

    Just don’t throw a hissy fit or call people haters or say they deserve death when they disagree with you…
    That’s about as Reactionary as you can get without crossing the line (But getting close enough) to dementia.

    You sure like the word demean….Might I suggest buying a thesaurus? 

    Also your posts are valid, they are moronic. Once again, F#$K John Lennon….you should be stoned for your stupidity. 

  • CLTStraightGuy

    You forgot the part and has done more for the State of Texas than BO and his cronies have done for the entire Country…

    You don’t just look at a persons education, you look at their leadership and track record before you make an uniformed decision on what they are capable of.
    Many of our Founding Fathers never had college degrees most believed in the Bible for governing and were self taught and this Country turned out to be a Super Power.
    Sure there were other factors, but I say this to prove the point.
    True intellect is formed by experience and understanding of the boundaries of mankind, and forging ahead for truth and freedom.
    Education is mans way of trying to understand the World around him, and discerning meaning from passed down historical experience and understanding, while later debating via the experience of others to form a synopsis.  History, science, liberty, nature, and morality all factor into education, but today many of these cornerstones have been re-written and now for the most part schools have taken out something the Founding Fathers never would not have been happy about and that is the moral structure understanding the spirit and being accountability to something higher than ourselves.
     
    Believing in God is not passe like some of you pseudo intellects would try and placate I have said it before and I will say it again;  There are millions of more wiser, greater leaders than any of these people running or now in power that believed in God.
    So lay off Perry.

    As always, this debate doesn’t fall on a persons Ability to Lead, rather it falls on a debate as to how a person believes, and if this belief is not a deadly threatening thing and has peacefully coexisted in the 20th Century than leave it alone.  Regarding Christianity in particular it has done this Country just fine from the beginning of its history.

    The Left always worries that people who believe in God will set up a Theocracy but that’s never been the case in America, and most Christian’s don’t want that to ever be the case.  You have to accept God on your own understanding and your eyes have to be opened.  To beat you into submission is not what true Christian belief is about.

    Look at it this way, if the Christian Church didn’t exist, then the Pilgrims wouldn’t have come to America in the first place by (Yes, encouraged by persecution in their own ranks because they were more staunch in their belief structure)
    Now of course you can derive whatever you want in theorizing what would have happened, but history is history.  The main reason we have a Country is because other Christian sects got kicked out of their own.
    Yes, there were others that came, but the Pilgrims are a huge part of American history.
