FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda “Unlike the Earth, we’re intelligent, and we can actually manage things,” Santorum said at a campaign stop in Ohio on Monday, criticizing liberal environmentalists who he said advocate a motto of “Earth above man.”
“When it comes to management of the Earth, they are the anti-science ones,” he added, referring to liberals and conservationists.
Earlier this month, Santorum put a Biblical spin on the climate change debate, stating that God has created the Earth for human beings to use regardless of the “Earth’s benefit.”
“We were put on this Earth as creatures of God to have dominion over the Earth, to use it wisely and steward it wisely, but for our benefit not for the Earth’s benefit,” he said during a campaign address to a crowd in Colorado.
The former Pennsylvania senator called climate change “an absolute travesty of scientific research that was motivated by those who, in my opinion, saw this as an opportunity to create a panic and a crisis for government to be able to step in and even more greatly control your life.”
Many scientists and academics have dismissed the denial of global warming by Santorum and other US conservatives, like Oklahoma senators Tom Coburn and James Inhofe, as “right-wing fantasy.”
“Given that these senators… have received huge campaign contributions from oil and gas interests, this kind of rhetoric is perhaps to be expected,” said Rodger A. Payne, who is a professor of political science at the University of Louisville.
Joe Romm, a climate expert at the liberal Center for American Progress, said, “Neither Obama nor any environmentalist thinks man is here to serve the Earth. That is a right-wing fantasy.”
