Curious that she completely avoided the main reason to opposes this abominable legislation; it’s based on a hoax. Not a good sign, in my opinion. You can’t implicitly concede a clear fallacy as fact, and then win an argument on how to approach a non-existent problem by talking about other issues.

As I suggested Sarah may not be ready at present to take on the global warming-environmental wacko lobby. Perhaps she needs to do more research. Rome was not built in a day. Give Sarah some slack. She will get better. This is a great debut.

Gotta disagree. The “it’s a hoax” argument is being carried by many many clued in conservatives. Beating that same drum would be redundant. She’s taking a different and novel attack. It’s yet another flanking maneuver. Cf. Sun Tzu (spellings differ).

One of the things I admired most about this surpassed-my-expectations piece by Palin, is that she wisely refrained use of the term "global warming" at all. It was wise because down deep, anyone with a industrial-world education knows Global Warming is a hoax -- reason and sense have nothing to do with their belief in it; it is entirely emotional, and it is wise to sidestep it and instead put the real issue into terms people identify with one-on-one. Dirty, polluting use of fossil fuels by other nations from which we'd get our energy at five times the price and held hostage to those nations' whims, or clean use our our own resources here in America for the prosperity of Americans.

Any child who has learned the basics of dinosaurs knows without knowing it that global warming is a hoax. Minds compute the numbers -- dinosaurs dominated the planet for about 150 million years, and the last extinction of them happened about 65 million years ago. There is NO WAY JOSE that we humans, in our paltry little existence on this planet (we don't even know much at all about what we were doing a measly, puny 10,000 years ago) and our smidgen of knowledge about climate change except as seen in increments of tens of thousands of years, could ever identify, let alone prove, significant climate change over a period of several hundred centuries, let alone a few hundred years. It is ludicrous on its face. Every one of us who has ever been near any coastline has seen, if not recognized, the clear and obvious signs of ancient sea levels, and simple regional geology books can even tell you how long ago they were "current."

One of thousands of examples: drive from Orlando to Tampa and you can clearly see the old Pamlico Terrace coastline from about 125,000 years ago, when sea levels were 25 feet higher than they are now. What were humans doing 125,000 years ago? WHO KNOWS! But 125,00 years, as any 9-year-old boy who knows his dinosaur history, is the equivalent of about half a second in relative time. This is why, I believe, that intelligent American children, the "cool" kids in class, instintively reject Gore and snicker at him and call him "Sponge Bob." They don't know how they know he's full of sh*t, but they know for sure that he IS full of sh*t. God bless them.

A bit of basic knowledge of earth geology and common sense is all it takes, really, to understand what an enormous hoax it is. People buy into the hoax not because they believe it, but because they want to believe it for whatever self-gratifying reasons they may have, so it is a waste of time to even give lip service to "global warming."

Sarah Palin deserves an A-plus-plus on this piece. Atta girl, Sarah!!!
