Beam me to Planet Gore !
After reading the first comments on this thread, all I can say is, “with friends like you, who needs enemies”. People who are now changing their minds about Governor Palin are doing so because they read something in the AP or LA Times, etc. Forget about going to the source and finding out the truth behind those headlines and minced words.
Disgusted in Alaska with idiots.
Well I wasn’t expecting perfection in any candidate. Guess what. Sarah isn’t perfect, especially on this issue. When she starts touting Kyoto, massive changes to American corporations, etc., THEN I’ll be worried.
Sea Ice Ends the Year At Same Level It Was In 1979
Daily Tech ^ | 1/1/2009 | Michael Asher
Rapid growth spurt leaves amount of ice at levels seen 29 years ago.
+ Thanks to a rapid rebound in recent months, global sea ice levels now equal those seen 29 years ago, when the year 1979 also drew to a close.
Ice levels had been tracking lower throughout much of 2008, but rapidly recovered in the last quarter. In fact, the rate of increase from September onward is the fastest rate of change on record, either upwards or downwards.
The data is being reported by the University of Illinois's Arctic Climate Research Center, and is derived from satellite observations of the Northern and Southern hemisphere polar regions.
Each year, millions of square kilometers of sea ice melt and refreeze. However, the mean ice anomaly -- defined as the seasonally-adjusted difference between the current value and the average from 1979-2000, varies much more slowly. That anomaly now stands at just under zero, a value identical to one recorded at the end of 1979, the year satellite record-keeping began.
keep in mind... global warming is NOT the same as man-made global warming
one is weather, the other is liberal hype
She did NOT say what the AP headline implies. If you folks would simply READ then article you would have seen that.
A pleasant-enough woman, one who would make a fine PTA chairman, but definitely not presidential material.
Well, “global warming” has not been disproved. In fact, I would say that “global warming” is a pretty well-established scientific fact. So, Sarah Palin is correct..., God bless her...
And so is global cooling a pretty well-established scientific fact.
What is *not* an established scientific fact and is, in fact, scientifically proven to be *wrong* — is — “Anthropogenic Global Warming”...
*Very obligatory* AGW (Anthropogenic Global Warming) post..., and yes..., we can make the quips, cracks, snide remarks, obvious statements, statements of protest, of common sense and so on — but — they’ll never convince anyone else..., like our neighbors and friends and relatives.
—
BUT, folks..., this is the *one* to see.., you can forget about all the other books, all the other articles, all the other movies... just see this one... LOL...
It’s one thing to gripe and complain about these things and disagree with it, but it’s quite *another* to convince your friends and neighbors and relatives and coworkers...
THEREFORE..., it’s also absolutely necessary for people to know the information in the following documentary. If there were simply *one* video that you could see and/or show people you know... this would be the *one*...
The following is an *excellent* video documentary on the so-called “Global Warming” I would recommend it to all FReepers. It’s a very well-made documentary.

Never could figure why so many here adored her. Just another political hack.
I have no doubt in my mind that Governor Palin is at least a “sceptical environmentalist”, and we must read between the lines on anything she says on this subject. Given that she has to deal with a Federal regime that into this crasy stuff, her response is both clever and pragmatic. It’s saying that “whichever theory is correct, this is the way to go”. And we need to remember that Alasaks was the first state to set up a cabinet su-committe on this subject and to dformulate a sophisticated programme for renewable and hybris energy. Think about it. Palin has been politically very shrewd.
I have generally found that any report about Governor Palin, published by Associated Press needs to be extensively doubled checked for accuracy and distortion. My experiences is that they are to be absolutely distrusted.
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.”
And she is absolutely correct. This has been going on, more or less, since 10,000 b.c. Remember that back then glaciers covered Chicago and more.
Damn that global warming.
WHY SARAH??? WWWWHHHHHYYYY!!!!!!
Alright... I’ll buy it. The only way to cure “Global Warming” is to stop up all the animals and kill off all the humans.
SHEESH!!!
The old adage still holds true..
Never fall in love with a politician. In the end, they’ll break your heart everytime.
She is eligible for re-education too tho.
You can bet your bottom dollar that Sarah Palin knows the difference between Global Warming and Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW)....
Global Warming is true; Global Cooling is true; Anthropogenic Global Warming is not true...
