Sarah Palin denies global warming is man-made

[Douglas Carpenter]

sorry about using such a terrible source. But given that it is a short interview, I think it is worth reading:

Palin Speaks to Newsmax About McCain, Abortion, Climate Change

http://www.newsmax.com/headlines/sarah_palin_vp/2008/08/29/126139.html

And your stand on abortion?

I'm pro-life. I'll do all I can to see every baby is created with a future and potential. The legislature should do all it can to protect human life.


Politically, how would you describe yourself?

Fiscally and socially, I am a conservative. My respect for the three different branches of government and the balance between them has been my guide.


If you were running for president, what causes would you champion?

I would push for a strong military and a sound energy policy. I believe that Alaska can help set an example on energy policy.


Speaking of energy, how much oil and gas does America really have?

We have billions and billions of barrels of oil and trillions of feet of natural gas. We have so much potential from tapping our resources here in Alaska. And we can do this with minimum environmental impact. We have a very pro-development president in President Bush, and yet he failed to push for opening up parts of Alaska to drilling through Congress — and a Republican-controlled Congress, I might add.

I thought when we hit $100 a barrel for oil it would have been a psychological barrier that would have caused Congress to reconsider, but they didn't. Now we are approaching $200 a barrel. It's nonsense not to tap a safe domestic source of oil. I think Americans need to hold Congress accountable on this one.

What is your take on global warming and how is it affecting our country?

A changing environment will affect Alaska more than any other state, because of our location.

I'm not one though who would attribute it (Global Warming) to being man-made.

2. Figues.

She also believes Earth is just 6,000 years old.

If this ticket wins, America's credibility in the world is completely destroyed. Permanently.

4. Yeah, when your hubby works for Foreign OIL...you're in that

Upton Sinclair quote.. "It is difficult to get a man(or woman) to understand something when his(or her) salary depends upon his(or her) not understanding it."

5. The truth certainly doesn’t suit her needs.

Sarah Palin is one of the nation’s strongest advocates for oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Move along, nothing to see here. :sarcasm:

6. Eh, I doubt it also.

9. She should have been here last night and maybe again tonight!

Hurricane force winds in AZ 78 mph recorded at the aeropuerte. Trees, fences, walls blown over, shit flooded everywhere. Guess it was just a freak of nature according to the moose.

10. OMG

This answer should be distributed in every coastal area and in every area that will become uninhabitable.

What is your take on global warming and how is it affecting our country?


A changing environment will affect Alaska more than any other state, because of our location.

So, it's no longer what's good for GM, is good for the country - It's what's good for Alaska is good for the country? Does she want to be VP just for Alaska?

[Jennicut]

11. Uggg, I cannot stand this woman. We do not have enough gas to cover our consumption

I thought Gov. Schweitzer made that clear a few days ago. What utter crap. I guess Polar Bears are low on her list as well...ah yes, I just found out she tried to sue the government for putting then on the endangered species list. Lovely. So much for "maverick" McCain's global warming views now.

[PA Democrat]

12. Just what we need. Another anti-science idiot.

I hate stupidity and I especially hate willful stupidity.

16. DUers should fear her because

We only found a shitload about her in 12 hours where

and folks............ I used that term first.
