Is Arnold correct when he said, "Sarah Palin doesn't care about global warming or any issues only her career?"?
She is only interested in her career and in winning the nomination [for president]?"
WASHINGTON — California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger says world policymakers do not have to choose between a clean environment and economic growth.
Schwarzengger said "we've proved that over and over again in California." Interviewed by ABC's "Good Morning America" from the Copenhagen conference, he said he thinks world leaders may be risking setback by pushing so aggressively for an accommodation on curbs to heat-trapping emissions.
Schwarzenegger said that people worried about climate change should pay more attention to companies, universities and "ordinary folks" and not put so much emphasis on a multinational consensus. He said that type of thinking is "setting yourself up for failure." He also said poor nations have a right to demand that the richer countries help them to meet tougher pollution standards.
He also took a swipe at former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin in an interview with the Financial Times:
Mr Schwarzenegger said: "You have to ask: what was she trying to accomplish? Is she really interested in this subject or is she interested in her career and in winning the nomination [for president]?"

Clearly, she's only interested in the politics and doesn't even know what she's talking about. She can't even decide if she thinks that global warming is actually occurring! In the editorial she wrote, she claims, falsely, that there is actually a decline in global temperatures which scientists are covering up. And then, a few paragraphs later, she boasts about being, "one of the first governors to create a subcabinet to deal specifically with the issue and to recommend common-sense policies to respond to the coastal erosion, thawing permafrost and retreating sea ice that affect Alaska's communities and infrastructure". In other words, she's bragging that she's been in the forefront of taking practical actions to deal with global warming, even though it doesn't exist.

Having lived in Texas, I can see where an Alaskan might be surprised that it's cold. Most northerners do tend to think it doesn't get very cold in the South. They can also be rather sarcastic when they want to be (i.e. the "poor evidence" interjection), though, naturally, the former governor of a state whose largest resource is oil might naturally be hesitant to condemn the use of that resource.

She cares about (most of) her family and her career. It's the right wing's position to say global warming doesn't exist, that's her position as a representative of her base. At least with her you know how she's going to represent you, and unlike Obama, she's not going to collapse and let the opposing party dictate everything she will do. Nice health care bill, Barry!
Arnold is just attacking people to distract from what a miserable failure he has been as a governor. He's done nothing to help California, and he's trying to get the left wing crazies that froth at the mouth when they hear the word Palin to vote for him.

He is one to talk as every thing has been handed to him and his California is so broke in their green spending. He probably has his money invested in this cause. Let him give his monies for this cause. Palin has lived off the land and knows what she is doing. Her father taught her well. This definitely a one sided issue and it seems you will agree with every one answering this question the way the Democrats would too.

Global warming is bunk and that's a fact. So I'm glad Palin dont give a hoot about it.
And that Arnold guy is a genius. He has totally bankrupted California but his pal Obammy will bail him out.

People have their own opinions...
I could care less for Palin and Arnold to be quite honest.
Obama 2012! Woo - Hoo!
P.S. The only reason the world would end in 2012, is if Sarah Palin became president ; )

Aw poor fat old Arnold, I guess bankrupting his state which is the worst in the nation has made him bitter.
That NAzi c*nt should go back to Austria and bring his privileged bourgeoisie skeleton with him.

Ah, yes. Arnold the scientist.
I don't see how he thinks California economic model is successful. They're running huge deficits and businesses are fleeing their high taxes.

He is still learning to speak English.
