Copenhagen's Political Science (Sarah Palin Climate-Gate Op-Ed in Washington Post)
The Washington Post ^ | Wednesday, December 9, 2009 | Sarah Palin

Posted on 12/08/2009 4:20:48 PM PST by kristinn

With the publication of damaging e-mails from a climate research center in Britain, the radical environmental movement appears to face a tipping point. The revelation of appalling actions by so-called climate change experts allows the American public to finally understand the concerns so many of us have articulated on this issue.

"Climate-gate," as the e-mails and other documents from the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia have become known, exposes a highly politicized scientific circle -- the same circle whose work underlies efforts at the Copenhagen climate change conference. The agenda-driven policies being pushed in Copenhagen won't change the weather, but they would change our economy for the worse.

The e-mails reveal that leading climate "experts" deliberately destroyed records, manipulated data to "hide the decline" in global temperatures, and tried to silence their critics by preventing them from publishing in peer-reviewed journals. What's more, the documents show that there was no real consensus even within the CRU crowd. Some scientists had strong doubts about the accuracy of estimates of temperatures from centuries ago, estimates used to back claims that more recent temperatures are rising at an alarming rate.

This scandal obviously calls into question the proposals being pushed in Copenhagen. I've always believed that policy should be based on sound science, not politics. As governor of Alaska, I took a stand against politicized science when I sued the federal government over its decision to list the polar bear as an endangered species despite the fact that the polar bear population had more than doubled. I got clobbered for my actions by radical environmentalists nationwide, but I stood by my view that adding a healthy species to the endangered list under the guise of "climate change impacts" was an abuse of the Endangered Species Act.

Slaves to the EPA
sung to the tune of BORN IN THE USA

Born down in a normal town
The first crime I did was when I exhaled air
My parents criminal act was using heat too much
Till they spend half their life just paying up

Slaves to the EPA, We are owned by the EPA
I owe my life to the EPA, Owned by the EPA

My SUV is a little homegrown jam
So they put a golf cart in my hand
It was made in a foreign land
To pay back bill to the yellow man

Slaves to the EPA, We are owned by the EPA
I owe my life to the EPA, Owned by the EPA

Come back home to the refinery
Hiring man said we are closing see
Went down to see solar man
He said son, don’t you understand

I had a brother at EXXON
Drilling wells that last so long
They’re not there, plugged and gone

He had a pickup he loved in Houston
I got a picture of it in Gov hands now

Down in the shadow of the penitentiary
Gas fires out in the refinery
I’m ten years burning down the road
Nowhere to run aint got nowhere to go

Slaves to the EPA, We are owned by the EPA
I owe my life to the EPA, Owned by the EPA
Owned by the EPA, I’m a fool sucking victim of the EPA.

Good article. But check the comments on that site. Those liberals are frothing at the mouth with vile. And they are too stupid to see that this hoax is about the elite making money and controlling their foolish lives.

Kudos to the Washington Post for printing Sarah Palin’s right-on-target message andto Sarah Palin herself for putting into words precisely what the majority of Americans believe about this subject. Obama seems gung-ho to obligate Americans in a time and way that defy logic, common sense and concern for anything but his own agenda and the possibility of his own acceptance by globalists with whom he wants credibility who have a lot of potential investment (money) and control (world) issues invested in the greatest scam of the century. Oh, and it pleases his green czar to no end.
