In addition to her frightening lack of qualification to be vice president (much less president) of the United States, Palin is an evangelical, anti-choice, pro-gun, right-wing conservative who wants creationism taught in schools.
Although in the past two years the Arctic summer sea ice shrunk to the lowest levels ever recorded, Palin apparently does not believe it is human-induced or cause for alarm.
Oil and gas drilling. Palin has supported oil and gas drilling plans anywhere in Alaska, including in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, the central Arctic, the entire Arctic Ocean, and in fish-rich Bristol Bay and Cook Inlet. On her watch, regulation and government oversight of Alaska oil facilities is terribly lacking, and she has declined to establish a citizens' advisory council to provide more effective public oversight of the expanding oil and gas operations in Arctic Alaska.
The pattern is clear. On the environment, Sarah Palin is essentially George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and perhaps James Watt rolled into one, but with a more pleasant demeanor.

Yes! Where do they think funds for their beloved wildlife refuges come from? Hunting license fees!
“Gov. Palin has a great record on the environment: Cut, kill, dig and drill.”
That covers it all!!!!!
oh brother! Do moonbats REALLY believe in this “environmental” crap, or do they just try to convince others of it in order to use it as political gain with their idiot followers?
Geez. She says this like its a bad thing, or something...
Guy would appear to be a political parasite. Latest deal was he wanted a tug boat posted out in the Aleutians to tow away any ship that got too near in the wrong place (at a cost of untold millions, and for something that might not ever happen).
No doubt the people in Seattle are impressed with his credentials. Maybe they should bring him down there to rescue seals in the Columbia or something.
Hey, some of those $5 cups of coffee taste really good.
They’re probably still combining a lot of issues here...animal rights and environmental stewardship into one category.
I don’t see why anyone can honestly believe the lower 48 should have any right to dictate to Alaska how to manage the wildlife in its state. Honestly, who in Washington knows anything about Moose, Caribou and Grizzly Bears.
Why not redistribute all the various bureaucracies from DC out to small blue states like Oregon. We’ll probably save 75% of our payroll costs!
“Fish-Rich” This psychopathic liberal has more sympathy for sea creatures than human beings (”anti-choice)
I don’t think I can stand it anymore.
Hey! The Mariners got a Moose.
Oh, maybe you meant the OTHER Washington :>)
Palin should have waved her magic Gore wand, and made Global Warming go away. Off with her head!
Barack Obama’s record on opposing terrorism foreign and domestic is downright terrible.
What a crock. It’s not human caused and it’s no cause for concern. She’s right and the rest of them are wrong, LOL.
Maybe because ITS DUE TO THE SUMMER!
No it's because Sarah Palin is hot! Send her to Washington and the ice will return
“Although in the past two years the Arctic summer sea ice shrunk to the lowest levels ever recorded”
And for just HOW long have we been recording this, compared, to, say, the cycles of Ice Ages?
She just keeps creating more reasons for me to like her.

Maybe because it’s a lie. The ice caps are significantly BIGGER this year. A must-visit site, to pass around to everyone you know : http://icecap.us/ (sorry, I’m having trouble making that a hot link). Shows the satellite photos of the ice caps on any two days of your choice, side by side; by default, it shows today and a year ago today.
WE ARE BEING LIED TO, AND WE HAVE TO FIGHT BACK!!!!!!!!
