Has Sarah Palin read a book about Global Warming?

Astoundingly, Sarah Palin has denied that climate change is man-made--not in 1996, not in 1998, not in 2000, not in 2002, but in an interview posted on August 29, 2008.

In response to this question: "What is your take on global warming and how is it affecting our country?" Palin answered: "A changing environment will affect Alaska more than any other state, because of our location. I'm not one though who would attribute it to being man-made."

In making this statement about one of the central issues of our time, Palin has rejected the view not only of the overwhelming majority of scientists, but also of the Environmental Protection Agency (under George W. Bush) and John McCain.

Should she stick with beauty queen speeches about World Peace?

    She's a BS artist and she's in with the oil companies. Her husband works for BP(non-manager). She has a record of corruption. She's only been abroad twice(one to Ireland, and the other to Germany and Kuwait) no foreign policy experience at all.

    Oil companies have been found to fund films like "Global warming or Global governance", "The Energy Non-Crisis", and "The Great Global Warming Swindle." You can't say that our actions have no effect on our environment.

    The majority of the scientists are not climatologists so you are incorrect to assume they all agree the earth is warming due to human activity. The same scientists tell us the globe is warming up today were telling us it's cooling down 20 years ago and they all had "proof" of their claims. Each time it seems safe the far left comes out with some thing new. Bird Flu, West Nile Virus, Ozone Holes, Global Warming, Y2K Bug, Global Cooling and the super flu have been just a few things the scientists have said would kill us all.

    Sarah Palin is just like a fresh breath of air on a cool summer autumn morning. Her exhibition of good common sense are enough for me to consider her as a front runner in the next presidential election. I really believe that no matter how they try, the Washington politicians can not corrupt her. We now have a extremely well educated idiot in the office. Now we need to go back to a person of integrity sitting in that chair. Obama proves that a Harvard education does not necessarily assure the graduate of possessing intelligence.

    Global warming is not a fact and it is definately not man made! This planet is larger that any of use and even the ego of the worst tree hugger. The Earth goes through cycles reguardless of our sorry little existance! The dinosaurs were killed off by global warming, but I am pretty sure they didn't have cars, SUVs, and coal burning electric plants!

    Well, considering that many scientists disagree about global warming (hence why the Dems have changed the term to "climate change" because many, many areas of the world are actually getting COLDER) I think she realizes that sometimes, we human beings aren't as "important" as we think we are. However, I do agree that we must be good stewards of the resources given to us. However, I don't see any of Al Gore's multiple houses for sale nor see him flying commercial airliners nor making all his homes more eco friendly. Hypocrite to the max Al Gore makes.

    Bush's Administration fires NASA scientists who believe that climate change exists at all. Governor Palin at least looks at reality and plans to adapt.

    There are those of us that have done our own research and not listened to all the crap we are told, and found that there are a great deal of scientists that disagree with good old Al Gore. Maybe you should start thinking for yourself instead of following corrupt people blindly.

    To acknowledge that humans have contributed to global warming would be to admit that she has contributed to global warming. And a woman having her fifth kid at 44 and proposing opening up ANWR can't afford to do that!

    Have you?

    Or are you just swallowing, hook, line and sinker, a problem that leading scientist around the world can't agree upon?

    Should you just stick with uninformed pre-opinions and cast stones at those with open minds?

    Wait....I thought the RNC had cornered the market on closed minds...

    Source(s): I've learned to read. I've learned to think. And I've learned to assess. And I'm hoping that catches on sooner or later...
