Romney Tied to Global Warming Denier Group | Desmog Blog…….
January 15th, 2008
Seriously, someone needs to tell Romney that being stuck in the 90’s no longer cuts it as a legitimate approach to climate policy.
Aides and staffers of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney are listed among the principals of a new Astroturf group set up last fall to deny the science of global warming.
The new group advertises itself as the American Environmental Coalition - "working to keep America beautiful, strong and prosperous." But the sole focus of its expensive website is to question the science of climate change.
As for its outreach activities, the AEC seems intent only on attacking Romney’s presidential competitor John McCain, the Republican candidate with the best record on responding to climate change.
