Sarah Palin's Op-Ed in Wednesday's Washington Post slamming the Copenhagen climate change summiteers for using "agenda-driven" global warming science has heated up critics' temperatures.
Pointing to "Climate-gate," the leaked e-mails from a British climate research center last month that suggested that scientists inflated evidence to pad their case for global warming, the former Republican vice presidential nominee went rogue in her op-ed piece about how the U.S. shouldn't pay -- literally and figuratively -- for untrustworthy science.
"The agenda-driven policies being pushed in Copenhagen won't change the weather, but they would change our economy for the worse," Palin wrote.
Storm clouds quickly rolled across the Blogosphere.
"By 'radical' [environmental movement], Palin means the overwhelming scientific consensus: virtually every major science academy in the country," wrote the Atlantic's political blogger Marc Ambinder, in a paragraph-by-paragraph response to Palin's op-ed.
Calling the Palin piece "falsehood-laden," Media Matters for America blogger Jeremy Schulman ripped Palin for distorting the nature of the e-mails from the Climatic Research Unit Phil Jones, the scientist at the heart of the e-mail flap.
Schulman pointed to The Post's own reporting, which found that the scientist used the phrase "hide the decline" to refer to substituting more accurate data for flawed, tree-ring data.
But most damning was a blog item from The Post's own Joel Achenbach: "Ms. Palin lives in the Arctic. She can see the North Pole. She has field-dressed moose on Denali glaciers. What she knows is that there's still a lot of snow out there. There's ice all over the place. Frankly, it's way too cold. Warm things up a bit and Alaska might actually be habitable!"
Conservatives, however, were quick to champion the former Alaska governor’s call to protect American taxpayers' wallets with a wait-and-see approach, that "our representatives in Copenhagen should remember that good environmental policy-making is about weighing real-world costs and benefits -- not pursuing a political agenda."
Declared the Red Hot Right blog, "Extremely well-written, factual, Sarah's article goes straight to the heart of the matter and shows that she's totally up on the real science, not the bull--- being spewed by the high priest Algore of the church of global warming alarmists."

raise your hand if you didn’t expect this firestorm today? I certainly did and think it was absolutely brilliant of Palin to get this in the WaPo again... and she is the only Republican getting in the lefts face.

Damn! Damn! Damn!. God really screwed me.
3 crosses
Because of Sarah, I'm already out. Guess I'll run down to the Piggly Wiggly and buy some more.
“3 crosses”
Considering the evil she has thrown at her on a regular basis, I’d say she is going to need every one of those crosses.
Sarah could turn Barney back to hetero, she’s that hot!
Don’t ya just love it!
They are absolutely terrified of her. They should be.
That’s OUR girl Sarah...
