Global Warming Is 'Very Real for Us,' Palin Says
Associated Press ^ | April 14, 2009 | Kim Murphy

Posted on 04/14/2009 8:33:13 PM PDT by Free ThinkerNY

(AP) — ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin acknowledged Tuesday that global warming was harming her state but said stepped-up natural-gas production could mitigate its effects.

Speaking at a hearing before Interior Secretary Ken Salazar -- the third of several he is holding to consider renewed oil and gas leasing on the Outer Continental Shelf -- Palin said that relatively clean-burning natural gas could supplant dirtier fuels and slow the discharge of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.

"We Alaskans are living with the changes that you are observing in Washington," she said. "The dramatic decreases in the extent of summer sea ice, increased coastal erosion, melting of permafrost, decrease in alpine glaciers and overall ecosystem changes are very real to us."

"Show me where I have ever said that there's absolute proof that nothing that man has ever conducted or engaged in has had any effect or no effect on climate change. I have not said that..." --Sarah Palin in her interview with Charlie Gibson.

Looks like she's gone from defensive waffling to sell out.

I am going to go by the Couric interview where the handlers were as bad as Couric and one of many reasons Gov. Palin is writing a book

LOL. That was cited as one of the most grossly edited interviews of the whole campaign and yet Freepers still cite Couric and CBS as a fount of authority.

Proves that many Freepers still are slaves to the worst of the MSM.

There is a long list of speeches, writings, etc. where she states against global warming.

Please cite the long list, with links, please.

I have long suggested that Palin needs a good dose of Inhofe.

“...it will be too late to meet the mitigation goals for reducing CO2 that will be required under most credible climate change models, including the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) modeled scenarios.”

And the IPPC is as credible as Al Gore himself.

The video of the interviews were hacked when shown to the public.

I posted from the transcript.

Show me where Palin or McCain ever challenged that transcript, that has been published for 6 months now.

You can’t? That makes you the slave, IMO.

Nice attempt at diversion but I'm not interested in sanford.

You said: "There is a long list of speeches, writings, etc. where she states against global warming. "

Now, Please cite the long list, with links.

If you can't, then quit posting stuff you can't back up.

While you’re waiting for him to try to support his assertions:

“Things are getting warmer. Now what do we do about it? And John McCain and I are gonna be working on what we do about it.”

Not when it is so much easier for you to fabricate self-serving and dishonest paraphrases.

Thanks for posting the full text of her statement.

That was only an excerpt, although more than the AP piece. Here is the full text:

http://www.gov.state.ak.us/pdf/GovPalinRemarks-SectSalazar_Apr14-2009.pdf

... and I wouldn't put her in the Arnold category. I contributed to the McCain campaign only after he chose her. I saw her on the campaign trail in person. Stood in line for hours in Findlay, Ohio to do so.

I still may vote for her... I'm just disappointed that she either thinks she has to pander, even in the slightest, to the Left or that she doesn't really understand how global warming is a hoax in the fullest extent. That it was created only to push an economic system via another means because the fallacious concepts and the factual and historical disasters wherever it was tried was too embarrassing for liberal/progressives to promote explicitly in an upfront manner. Global warming is their current 'workaround'. It was Global cooling before that and it will be something else in the future.

No, not when it is CBS.

If you're still believing outlets like CBS and the AP I see why your thinking is so stunted.
