I just found out on treehugger.com that low-man-on-the-totem-pole Republican presidential candidate Jon Huntsman, Jr. has begun to sound like a climate change denier. The former Utah governor and ambassador to China has been referred to as the only true moderate Republican amongst all the candidates. While he is definitely fiscally conservative, he has tried to get the Republican party to become more socially moderate. He has been quite vocal on letting climate science speak for itself, noting that he is not a scientist but that he respects and believes the science.
The treehugger post details the recent answer that Huntsman gave to a reporter when asked about climate change. I will let you read the article and judge for yourself. The post's author, Brian Merchant, also wrote the thoughts that serve this bit of news best. It is a huge disappointment, and if Mr. Huntsman has truly changed his position, it really does show how awful the Republican Party is. Instead of a party that caters to a majority moderate, it is a party that caters to the minority radical extremists. It's time to send the Republican Party packing. You can't take them seriously anymore. They don't deal in reality, only in delusions for themselves. I would rather a pandering Democrat be in control than a Republican. At least the Democrat would bring a sense of moderation to the table and will make attempts at enacting solutions to global warming.
