'Energy Expert’ Palin Can’t Name Any Man-Made Causes Of Global Warming

[DeeDeeNY]

Shortly after Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) chose Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK) as his running mate, Palin said she is not one to attribute global warming to being man-made. Since then, she has walked that statement back slightly, saying that indeed, man’s activities have contributed to climate change but adding the caveat that “weather patterns are cyclical.”

When asked to name some specific man-made causes of global warming yesterday during an interview with a local NBC affiliate in Las Vegas, Palin couldn’t name one, and instead reverted back to her new talking point that it doesn’t really matter:

1. Sure she could, but elects not to so the rest of us won't feel bad.

2. What you thought a repiglicon would admit to a man made

gobal warming cause? Remember they think it's god's will not anything man did that the weather has changed and the planet is warmer now. And really they see no problem because Santa Jesus is going to fix the problem if they pray hard enough for it, besides, it also is a good thing, those in the north have shorter warmer winters so it saves money too. :crazy:

3. She doesn't BELIEVE it is man-made. She thinks it is

a matter of natural cyclical change. Just saying.... not defending. At least that is how it came out in the VP debate.

5. she can't say, because if she utters a single word about it being caused by fossil fuels...

her alaskan gravy train comes to a screeching halt.

I can't wait until the election is over and she has to go back home to face the music of possible felony charges for witness tampering. Oh man, that will be some must see tv.

6. I would like to ask expert Palin a couple questions.

Drill Baby Drill?

Ok then, do you advocate selling domestic oil in overseas markets? Oh goodness, you do. hmm How will this reduce domestic prices and consumption?

Oh, it would create a surplus that could be used for the national reserve?

Ok then, why not use untapped resources as our national reserve instead of buying it from oil companies, transporting it, and then pumping it back into the ground?

7. Why should she?

Lee Raymond, the former CEO of ExxonMobil, can't either. Or won't.

8. The fact that this woman (and her supporters) think she's ready to be the President

says a lot about both Palin and her supporters. They apparently think reality doesn't matter-- that only ideology matters. She really is like a distilled GW Bush in a skirt.
