Romney hedges on global warming

By Stephanie Ebbert, Globe Staff | May 7, 2004

As he introduced a new state policy to combat global warming, Governor Mitt Romney had a surprise for the environmentalists gathered along the Charles River Esplanade yesterday: Personally, he's not sure global warming is happening.

During a news conference at which he formally announced the Massachusetts Climate Protection Plan, Romney said he decided not to take sides in the debate about "is there global warming or is there not, and what's causing it."

His hedging on the issue surprised some activists, who had praised the state plan for accepting greenhouse gases as a significant cause of global warming, a connection that the White House and Republicans nationally have sometimes tried to downplay.

Though the new state plan points to a "consensus of climate change scientists" who agree that an increase in greenhouse gases is causing global temperatures to rise, Romney attached a letter to the plan's final version suggesting he remains unconvinced on the issue at the heart of the proposal.
