Sarah Palin, climate expert?
Publishing her op-ed about global warming has caused big trouble for the Washington Post
Sarah Palin has created controversy for one of Americas most esteemed newspapers with a recent op-ed urging President Obama, in light of revelations from the Climategate scandal, to boycott the Copenhagen summit. The Washington Post has in the words of one its top editors been ripped for the decision publish Palins piece, which critics maintain distorts well-established scientific facts on climate change, including ones reported in the pages of the Post. To add to the humiliation, they say, Palins opinion piece was just a warmed-over version of a recent Facebook posting. Did the Post lower its standards to justify printing Palin's views on global warming or is this just another case of the GOP stars remarkable power to rile up her political opponents? (Watch an NBC report about Sarah Palin's climate change comments)
What was The Washington Post thinking? "George Will's fabrications" on Climategate in the Post are bad enough, says Tim Lambert in ScienceBlogs, but in publishing this wildly inaccurate hit job from "climate expert Sarah Palin" the Post's own reporting "directly contradicts" what she's written the once-great newspaper is proving it "simply does not care about the accuracy of the columns it publishes." It "can't go out of business fast enough."

And they fail to see the irony of “Al Gore, Climate Expert” being acceptable.
Al Gore
Climate expert??
Really??
Al Gwhore has a degree in GOVERNMENT.
Oprah - Climate Expert?
Nancy Pelosi - Climate Expert?
Any numb-skull that comes out and says Global Warming is true instantly becomes an expert.
“the once-great newspaper is proving it “simply does not care about the accuracy of the columns it publish”
Wasn’t the Washington Post one of the many that were glofirying everything Obama?
The type of problem listed above doesn’t just happen over night.
Then let them explain how it is possible for the oceans to rise enough to completely cover NYC. Is there enough ice to melt to cover our planet (surface 75% water) with enough water to make the sky scrapers into underwater reefs? Gore said it, his krazy kids repeat it, let them explain it.
I’m amazed at the obsession with credentialization the Left insists on when it comes to this subject. Not that Algore — who got a ‘D’ in one of the few college science courses he took — knows anything more about climate science than Palin.
I guess only the so-called “smart boys” get to opine on the subject of whether or not possible climate change is a result of anthropogenic input in the main or whether it might be due to other input factors.
Not a single word in defense of the subject. They know they have been caught, exposed and they are scared to death.
Palin 2012.....
” which critics maintain distorts well-established scientific facts on climate change,”
Those “well-established scientific facts” are based on well-established scientific fraud.
And he flunked!!
“And they fail to see the irony of Al Gore, Climate Expert being acceptable.”
The same way they attacked her alleged “lack of experience” to be Vice President, while ignoring the complete lack of qualifications for the current president.
Liberals would continue to call AGW skeptics deniers if advancing glaciers were scraping them off the southern end of Manhattan Island.
Sarah Palin probably isn’t a “climate expert”.
But she IS an “elitist expert”, and knows that the agenda of the “global warmists” is independent of the fraud or reality of “global warming”.
“Al Gwhore has a degree in GOVERNMENT.”
He has a doctorate in SCIENCE from the university of life.
Besides, he’s going with the majority, which as we know is what determines who’s right in the “invisible college” of science. That’s why we still think that objects remain at rest until acted on from outside and time is absolute and everything, right?
I will look, but I’m almost positive that WaPo posted a Leonardo DiCaprio editorial on so-called “climate change”. I will look for it. But, if Leo (a kid who may only have a GED) is qualified to write about climate change, Palin certainly is as well - to say nothing of course about D-science student, ALGORE.
They have set things up nicely for themselves.They live according to one set of rules based on no principles and we are expected to live according to our principles. Most of us abide by it seeing as most Republican’s suffer from Stockholm Syndrome. It’s worked nicely for them thus far.
But then they know that they can say that there has never before been a climate change unless caused by humans and their SUV and breathing.
The ice in the south is over 1 million square kilometers larger this year than in 1979 and the north is getting deeper by the day and the lie that 2009 was one of the warmest times in Europe is a total lie as I was there for over three weeks and it was the coldest I had seen in over 40 years.
The so called science people who claim climate change is a fault of humans are idiots are totally liars
