Palin, McCain Disagree on Causes of Global Warming

Washington Post ^

[Chet 99]

No one, including Gov. Sarah Palin, questions that Alaska's climate is changing more rapidly than any other state's. But her skepticism about the causes and what needs to be done to address the consequences stands in sharp contrast to the views of her running mate, Sen. John McCain, and place her to the right of the Bush administration and several other Republican governors.

Although Palin established a sub-cabinet to deal with climate change issues a year ago, she has focused on how to adapt to global warming rather than how to combat it, and she has publicly questioned scientists' near-consensus that human activity plays a role in the rising temperatures.

Governor Palin is one VERY bright woman.

Of course global warming is a hoax! It says something about the gullibility and ignorance of our times that people still get taken in by something that is patently untrue... and which by definition, is not and cannot be scientifically proven!

She also said that, if they are elected, she’ll work with John on that and get his head straight. LOL!!!

I’m so sick of that tired old scam

McCain would be in the tank if it weren't for Palin.

McCain is an idiot when it comes to Global Warming.

"No one, including Gov. Sarah Palin, questions that Alaska's climate is changing more rapidly than any other state's."

I haven't heard of Gov Palin ever mentioning Alaska's climate changing. Got a link for that?

..."and she has publicly questioned scientists' near-consensus that human activity plays a role in the rising temperatures."

She is right to question this so called "near-concensus", because that is a downright LIE media keeps repeating while media refuses to give any air time at all to the MAJORITY of scientists in the scientific community who reject the claim of human caused "global warming", or that there is in fact any global warming going on at all.
Localized weather anomalies do NOT indicate "global warming" or an advancing ice age. They never have and never will.

"near-consensus"

Based on some test of statistical significance?

[gov_bean_ counter]

IIRC, she commented in the Hannity interview that she has read a lot on Reagan, Thatcher and Lincoln. I have a feeling she is an avid reader. Of course the Liberal elitists believe reading is of no benefit if you aren't sitting in one of the Ivory Towers having some pencil necked academic telling you what you have read.

“has publicly questioned scientists’ near-consensus that human activity plays a role in the rising temperatures.”

We must fight the global concern that is all of our oceans draining off the edge of the Flat Earth!!!

The big lie. Tell it often enough and it becomes established as fact. “Scientists’ near-consensus”.

And when will scientists, who are above Barack Obama’s pay grade, finally weigh in on when life begins?

[weegee]

Beyond that (determining whether we are experiencing a trend of global warming or periods of atypical warmth), it has yet to be established that mankind is (A) responsible for any climate change and (B) mankind has the ability to deliberately change climate (by changing environmental policies).

It is ABSOLUTELY CLEAR from the historical record that the Earth has undergone a series of radical shifts in global temperatures (both periods of warmth and cool “ice ages”) that predate the existence of man. There is also historical proof that the climate has undergone temperature shifts during the history of mankind on the planet Earth prior to the industrial/petrochemical revolutions.

This is the rooster claiming that he makes the sun rise every morning by crowing. Stark raving socialism in the name of junk science.

"No one, including Gov. Sarah Palin, questions that Alaska's climate is changing more rapidly than any other state's."

In other words, they take her silence to be the same as concurrence. Similarly, no one at the Washington Post questions that their news is printed on the skins of baby seals.

"No one, including Gov. Sarah Palin, questions that Alaska's climate is changing more rapidly than any other state's."

Where is there ANY proof of that? I'm so sick of media repeating these LIES that have no basis of truth whatsoever, while they show the same old tired clip of a glacier shedding ice into the ocean as it has been doing for thousands of years, or polar bears being harassed by envirowienies in helicopters, forcing them out into thin ice flows, then claiming they are "endangered even though their numbers have exploded over the past 25 years.

Nothing but LIARS, all of them, aided by media owned by their liberal elitist countertparts.

...scientists' near-consensus...

Now it's a NEAR-consensus? Sounds like the hoax coalition is breaking down a bit.

“It says something about the gullibility and ignorance of our times that people still get taken in by something that is patently untrue... and which by definition, is not and cannot be scientifically proven!”

Algore has made more than 100 million buckaroonies so far off the global climate change hysteria. Miss America (SanFranNan) has invested serious bucks in T Boone Picken’s energy plans. Dimocratz love their money.

Considering the temperature outside right now, here in Yakima, WA, I don’t believe in ‘global warming’. It is going to get down into the low 30’s tonight. Looks like and early winter.

Just when I thought I couldn’t like Sarah Palin any more....YES!!!!! ...(see tagline)
