Beam me to Planet Gore !
People who say this scare me; the Lady Palin included.
It's not like one cannot make a case that something called "climate change" is a real phenomenon. The problem is that what the populace at large associates with "climate change" is very definitely not real.

Sarah Palin is winning all the battles when it comes to the issues because her opponents would rather focus on personal attacks and smearing everything she says.
Keep up the good work Sarah. Everyone with common sense sees this.
Uh...umm...uh....ummm....(repeat for several minutes, with forced smiles and grimaces).
I’ll bet this is the most read Letter to the Editor the WaPo has ever published. Last I heard Palin’s climategate op/ed was the 20th most read op/ed at the WaPo for the entire year, and I’ll bet it has gone up since then.
So Palin believes in the hoax/marxist scam. She believes in voluntary carbon trading as well. Wow. Now I see why McCain wanted her as his V.P. If McCain would have won she would have been used as a tool to influence conservatives into believing in the marxist scam called climate change.
And we all know, once you accept a marxist scam it is only a matter of time before they strip you of everything you’ve worked for. So her thought that she could accept the scam but not cap and trade is crap. She would take us down the same marxist path of wealth redistribution (theft), just a little slower.
I'd like to thank Eugene Robinson for highlighting Alaska's achievements on climate change ["Palin's own 'Climate- gate,' " op-ed, Dec. 15] and for noting that I've "treated the issue as serious, complex, and worthy of urgent attention," while making "any number of pragmatic, reasonable, smart decisions as governor." But he's wrong to suggest that my views have somehow changed or that now I'll have to "renounce" my past efforts.

Palin’s Favorable Up (4%) Slightly; Obama’s Holds Steady
(Video) Michelle Malkin: Sarah Palin Is Person Of The Year
"You quit without finishing a single term, you silly woman! You have now self-identified as an expert on climate strategy. A debate, Oxford-style, would provide a platform for a comparison of your ideas and statistics and Al Gore's. We're all waiting. We won't, however, hold our breaths."
"Ms, Palin, You are an unfortunate soul trying to derail serious discussion of an issue that will negatively impact everyone on this planet. You should step out of this discussion before the facts of the matter overwhelm you. You are out of your league here."
"Actually, "as governor of Alaska" you just up and quit. You did nothing. And you're doing nothing for Alaska now."
Because we all know she quit for absolutely no reason whatsoever.
And this one's my favorite:
Ms. Palin: You are not capable or qualified to judge "what's on the table" in Washington or Copenhagen." You evince what scientists & epistemologists term "self-confirming bias," that is, a tendency to confirm--notwithstanding facts (or what more broadly might be termed "empirical truths"--& that's 'truth' with a small "t") your preconceptions (or in your case, your ideological worldview) even as your self-confirming bias or preconceptions are contradicted by observable (& replicable) facts. Your worldview, as you have shared with us over & over again, is predicated upon a belief in superstition, what would properly be termed "supernaturalism." Belief in the supernatural, as with belief in any irrational phenomena or system, is incommensurate with the world of reason, science, & intellect--the phenomenal & material world in which all sentient organisms live. You claim (as Governor) to have sought "common sense (sic) solutions" to the complex problem of climate change. However, you cannot make such a claim when your worldview is predicated upon superstition & supernaturalism: Your worldview is incommensurate with the recognition of the overwhelming empirical evidence associated with & the enormous complexity of climate change. Your belief in superstition & supernaturalism render you utterly incapable (your belief in superstition & the supernatural) of recognizing & engaging the world of empiricism & fact & responding with anything but...self-confirming bias."
Huh. Since when could we explain and understand everything without any error? Have we proven the nonexistence of a Creator? (No need to answer.)
