Palin blasts 'arrogance of man' in Copenhagen By Michael O'Brien - 12/19/09 10:06 AM ET

The now-finished climate change summit in Copenhagen marks the "arrogance of man," former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) said this weekend.

Palin, who had urged President Barack Obama not to attend the conference in Denmark, blasted the agreement world leaders made late on Friday to begin stemming emissions that contribute to climate change.

Palin tweeted early Saturday morning:

Copenhgen=arrogance of man2think we can change nature's ways.MUST b good stewards of God's earth,but arrogant&naive2say man overpwers nature

Earth saw clmate chnge4 ions;will cont 2 c chnges.R duty2responsbly devlop resorces4humankind/not pollute&destroy;but cant alter naturl chng

Those tweets and previous skepticism the 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee has expressed toward global warming science has led some to label her a climate change "denier."

But Palin has maintained that she does not deny that climate change exists, and that she only questions the extent of the change and what sort of policies should be put in place to address it.

Obama hammered out what the White House has called a "meaningful agreement" with China, India, and South Africa to stem the forces behind global warming late on Friday evening.

Twitter should allow more characters per tweet. It looks silly trying to type with numbers instead of letters.

Right. Back in the '60's we had "meaningful relationships" too. And about for the same purpose.

Climate Change Denier.

What a RIOT.

The *REAL* Climate Change Deniers are the Cult of Global Warming, because they *DENY* that the ongoing changes in climate are nothing new, probably not catastrophic, moving in a direction OPPOSITE of what they have been predicting, and there’s nothing we could do about it anyway.

THEY are the Deniers.

Constraints of character limitations of twitter. We know the routine, shoot the messenger.

That’s how you type on Twitter. People who use it can read it just fine.

Obama is going to stem forces behind global warming? How stupid are the people who believe any man can stem the forces of our solar system? Any person who believes that man can change the cycles of the sun is not only ignorant but is delusional as well.

Brief messages that get straight to the point.

Some notes don’t need to be in emails or facebook when they only are short.

I get info about the weather to gas prices, to brief comments from Glenn Beck or NASA, and it doesn’t clog my Email inbox.

That's not how I type on Twitter. If someone is typing one way on FR and another way on Twitter, they're doing something wrong. Break paragraphs up into sentences, for example, and do multiple tweets, rather than trying to cram everything in one tweet.

No, it’s the arrogance of liberalism.

This is how kids (under 25) are now also writing school assignments and themes. They’re using text messaging/ twitter style ‘writing’ as their brains and common sense continue to devolve.

Think of twitter as a stripped-down, texting version of Facebook, centered more topically as opposed to individually. Valued commentators rise in popularity, and their “feed” grows. The speed and locality of it can be of great value, especially in an overly controlled traditional media environment. No filters whatsoever, man on the street, nearly instantaneous, where ever anything is happening. That’s why Twitter became popular.

If CO2 is causing the destruction of the world why are we ripping down hydro-electric dams?

And why don't we have a crash program to replace coal with nukes?

Well if as you say these people really do believe in this ‘’global warming’’ stuff then it’s not a stretch to think they believe in Santa Claus. And if they do and if they’re out there ‘’watching the climate’’ or whatever and they happen to see Santa I would ask them to please ask Santa for that pony I wanted when I was five. Never did get that.
