Newt In 2008: We Should Lower Carbon Because It’s Conservative To Avoid ‘Stupid Risks’ | “It’s probable that carbon is a risk, and I argue in Contract With the Earth that because I’m conservative in the traditional sense, which means avoiding stupid risks, I think we should lower the carbon impact on the earth because we don’t know for sure,” Newt Gingrich said at a climate symposium in Philadelphia on March 20, 2008. Over his career, Gingrich has held just about every possible position on manmade global warming.
