Santorum Questions Climate Change

Republican Rick Santorum campaigns in Ohio


Former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum, who’s running for president, weighed in on climate change during a campaign appearance in Ohio. From the AP:

Santorum told voters in eastern Ohio on Monday that science is on the side of those who want to aggressively produce more oil and natural gas in America. He said the notion of global warming is not climate science but “political science.’’
Santorum said Obama and his allies want to frighten people about new oil-exploration technologies so they can get your dollars and turn it over to politicians to win elections “so they can control your lives.’’
