Tuesday Video: Newt Gingrich has a complicated relationship with climate change

It really is thrilling to watch Newt Gingrich run for president or as it should be called his "former presidential candidate" campaign. The moment you dig into his past it's like an old sweater - you pull one one thread and the whole thing unravels. Check this commercial from 2008 with Nancy Pelosi and Newt Gingrich talking about climate change on a couch in perhaps more opportunistic times:

Below he calls it a mistake. I can't really understand his explanation. Something about the ice age, taxes, and blah blah blah.

 

But it gets better!

Here he is defending his appearance with Pelosi. He talks about clean coal, carbon loading and a lot of dirty solutions - so his position on climate change doesn't really matter. But it's just funny to see the not-so-Artful Dodger in action.
