Palin denies global warming is manmade.
In an interview released today by Newsmax, Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK) — Sen. John McCain’s (R-AZ) newly minted running mate — was asked for her “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,” Palin said, adding, “I’m not one though who would attribute it to being man-made.” DeSmogBlog notes that NASA and the National Academy of Sciences disagree:
The first greenhouse gas demonstrated to be increasing in atmospheric concentration was carbon dioxide, formed as a major end product in the extraction of energy from the burning of the fossil fuels–coal, oil, and natural gas–as well as in the burning of biomass.
UpdateDan Weiss and James Kvaal note that Palin is a "champion for Big Oil." They write, "She supports more drilling in protected areas of the Outer Continental Shelf and the Alaska Natural Wildlife Refuge, once attacking McCain for his 'close-mindedness on ANWR.'"

Woman-made?
August 29th, 2008 at 3:24 pmPalin is an oil-bimbo.
Of course, she supports "drill here, drill now, drill everywhere". How else is she going to continue sending out the $1,200 per head bribery checks to all Alaskans after she returns to her governorship after the shellacing she and McNumbNuts suffer on November 4?
August 29th, 2008 at 3:25 pmNo surprise here - a science denier who doesn't believe in evolution can hardly be expected to believe in environmental stewardship.
August 29th, 2008 at 3:26 pmBy the way, I'm glad to see that she is already giving interviews. Her non-existent record is a blank slate right now. She needs a week or two of media exposure to stick her foot in her mouth.
August 29th, 2008 at 3:27 pmPalin denies global warming is man-made.
Like this Creationist believing ignoramus would claim otherwise ?
Is this the best the GOP can muster ?
A senile old fool and a religious whack job who is against a woman's right to choose and science .........Quite a combo.
August 29th, 2008 at 3:27 pm"She supports more drilling in protected areas of the Outer Continental Shelf and the Alaska Natural Wildlife Refuge, once attacking McCain for his 'close-mindedness on ANWR.'
Ok,the DNC needs to make this into an immediate advertisement.
August 29th, 2008 at 3:27 pmSarah Palin is going to be soooooo sorry she agreed to this. Will she still have her Governor job to go back to?
August 29th, 2008 at 3:28 pmJust what the world needs - another science skeptic.
Go play in the shallow end of the pool, Palin. The women of this country aren't impressed with McStain's pick just because you have a vagina.

That's a part-time job, anyway. About as challenging ad being Justice of the Peace in Crawford, TX.
But maybe she can volunteer as Teddy Stevens' parole officer when he gets out in 5 years.
August 29th, 2008 at 3:31 pmDid the Entire Republican party sign up for lobotomies and rubber-padded rooms? I frequently quote Lincoln and say that you can fool some of the people all of the time, but this is Absurd! Perciving reality is a biological necessity, but not as Ms. Pain percieves it. Hitherto I'd hoped for Lieberman as the VP nod, but this is a fully acceptable freak for this particular sideshow.
August 29th, 2008 at 3:33 pmImpeach Pelosi, Cheney and Bush and Save the Constitution!
Please pass the popcorn, this is a Great Show!
Oh, No. 1 commenter, you beat me to the punch. Sarah Palin is very cute, but she is not very experienced in foreign affairs, to say the least. McCain is way too experienced in war-mongering and war-crimes: Vietnam (bombing Vietnamese civilians: a war crime), Afghanistan: US continuing imperial occupation is a series of war crimes, Pakistan: more bombing of civilians: these people are no threat to anyone who lives outside of Pakistan, his infamous bomb, bomb, bomb Iran (advocating mass murder of Iranians) and encouraging the little Stalin: Saakashvili to slaughter South Ossetians and Russian peacekeepers.
August 29th, 2008 at 3:33 pmOnly the dumbest of rats are still on the good ship GOP.
August 29th, 2008 at 3:33 pmUm...OK. Anti-abortion -- check. Pro-drilling -- check. Pro-creationism -- check. Global-warming-isn't-manmade -- check.
Yup. That's going to attract the Hillary supporters in droves. They are SOOOOOOOOOO much alike.
/snark off
August 29th, 2008 at 3:33 pmHussein @9, she won't be Mayor of Alaska, but will, most assuredly, be the Mayor of Crazy Town!

I hope hillary supporters are reading this.
August 29th, 2008 at 3:35 pmCome on ask her SERIOUS questions: who does her hair and make-up? And those shoes!
August 29th, 2008 at 3:35 pmFor all it's worth, "She's a good Mom." CNN contributor.
August 29th, 2008 at 3:36 pmDon't the Republicans have ANYONE left . . . II mean ANYONE that isn't a loony toon? My god if they thought god told them so they would claim that the sun doesn't shine. I'm not tired of conservatism, I am tired of utterly stupid.
August 29th, 2008 at 3:38 pmAlmost forgot....she's also a creationist/Anti-science.
August 29th, 2008 at 3:38 pmFor every one who is thinking about leaving the country is McInsane is elected, I have some bad news...New Zealand has an age limit...55....crap...I'm screwed.
August 29th, 2008 at 3:40 pmDon't forget, when Obama was looking at Democratic Gov. Tim Kaine of Virginia as a possible running mate, Karl Rove, the "architect'' of President Bush's election campaigns, dismissed his experience - a governor for three years and ex-mayor of 103rd largest Richmond.
August 29th, 2008 at 3:46 pmJohn McCain. Sarah Palin.
Republicans, I ask the following with all sincerity:
Are these two people really and truly the very best your party has to offer?
August 29th, 2008 at 3:48 pmPro-religion? huh? Only about 10% of the country is anti-Religion. Moot point. Try again.
Obama supports limited drilling in conjugation with alternative energies and renewal fuels. Try again.
You lost.

They are counting on Bigotry to win the election.
August 29th, 2008 at 3:51 pmReal conservatives are sort of whack but still they must be freaking out big time. Poor folks...
August 29th, 2008 at 3:53 pmObama Camp Responds: "McCain Put The Former Mayor Of A Town Of 9,000 With Zero Foreign Policy Experience A Heartbeat Away From The Presidency"...
August 29th, 2008 at 3:53 pmHey! She's been the mayor of a town of 5,500 people.
That's almost as good q presidential qualification as being shot down over...Oh. never mind.
August 29th, 2008 at 3:55 pmThe more I hear about this woman the more I like.
As if we needed this extra shitstain on the GOP to ensure victory. This will just make it that much of a drubbing.
Can't we just call it now and swear in President Obama in September? At least that would keep the Chimpfck from digging an even deeper hole.
August 29th, 2008 at 3:56 pmOnce again, KemDiller pops up like the mole that it is, spews crap, and scuttles down it's hole.
Do we get six more weeks of summer?
August 29th, 2008 at 3:56 pmPalin denies global warming is man-made.
Of course she does, because that would be an inconvenient truth. And we know how conservatives deal with truth.

August 29th, 2008 at 3:46 pm
Obama is pro-drilling, and pro-religion….and supports capital punishment for rape…is he much better?
____________________________________________________
No comparison. Obama has suggested limited drilling under a multitude of special conditions as part of a much larger comprehensive energy program. His position is nothing like the "drill, drill, drill" mantra of the big oil sycophants.
As far as capital punishment for rape, Obama has hardly mandated such a thing. He supports the right of states to decide the matter in extreme cases, and only when the rape victim is a small child -- a position I personally disagree with (since I am against capital punishment on general principle). However, this issue isn't sufficient for me to vote against him.
And "pro-religion"??? Are you kidding me? What's the opposite position -- "anti-religion"??? Obama is a Christian and his faith is an important part of his life. However, he has no desire to impose his religion on everyone else. I can respect that. Do YOU have a problem with that?
August 29th, 2008 at 3:58 pmI wonder how a creationist thinks the oil that she wants to drill for got their in the first place?
Did God sneeze, or just eat a whole lot of prunes?

August 29th, 2008 at 5:33 pmSorry ACME Democrat but that makes no sense. I asked you what you based your weird assumptions of me on not whatever weird shit you were just babbling about.

August 29th, 2008 at 8:57 pmdeliver us from people like this right wing nut.Pro oil pro gun,prolifer,anti polar bear,anti global warming,and the McCain picked her because?? If he thinks this nut case is going to bring in disgruntled Hillary supporters,then he knows absolutely nothing about Democratic women and the two Republican women in America who are 360 degrees opposite!She supported that other brilliant Republican,Ted Stevens,under indictment and his infamous "bridge to nowhere" and then said she didn't! McCain,who turned 72 today,is out of his mind picking someone with NO EXPERIENCE in international affairs,the one thing he drills Obama on all the time.McCain proves once again that he is a hypocrite and a flip flopper in his stupid choice for VP.
August 29th, 2008 at 9:44 pmJust like the Bush administration in their years' long obstacle setting, obfuscating censorship of governmental science findings that human activity was indeed the trigger for global climate change and needed to be addressed, Sarah Palin thinks this is an issue of "belief." She has shown in the case of her advocacy of teaching Intelligent Design in science classrooms which a recent case in relation to the Dover, PA school board was adjudicated by a conservative judge and found in clear violation of church and state, that Governor Palin has a myopic blurring of the difference between faith and science, church and state, which is not only unconstitutional but in the 21st century irresponsible to the long term financial, intellectual, and cultural standing of our nation in the world. Such a confusion about the nature of scientific inquiry would not be acceptable in any of our European allies or emerging rivals Russia and China. This tunnel vision is more emblematic of nations that have fundamentalist religious laws written into their constitutions.
August 30th, 2008 at 5:46 pmConsidering that global warming will affect the polar regions first and most dramatically, I find it amazing that any politician from Alaska would deny what's staring them right in the face -- or in this case, what's melting the permafrost right under their feet ... selecting Governor Sarah Palin as a running mate may be John McCain's undoing, at least as far as his presidential ambitions lie ...
August 30th, 2008 at 9:53 pmWhat an awesome lady! She understands the difference between science and hype, and knows that science isn't a matter of consensus.
I like this person more every day.....

MMGW is a scam. Sun activity causes warming. Warming causes CO2 levels to rise. Not the other way around. This is going to be fun. History will be made, one way or another, and it looks more likely now that it will be the right history.
Even more Hillary supporters will go for McCain now. Obama is no longer a near certainty. Heaven forbid something happens to McCain, but I believe Palin would rise to the occasion. She has the right attitude. Everyone knows Obama is NOT ready for POTUS, Palin is only for the VP. Look at Dan Quayle.
YEY SARAH PALIN! YEY John McCain! Great pick! The 1st woman for the GOP VP? SCORE!
She's conservative! SCORE! She's a Governor! SCORE! She's pro-drilling! She's a hunter! SCORE! She's a hockey Mom and played basketball in school! SCORE! She's pro-life! And she respects women! SCORE! She fights corruption! SCORE! She's high-energy! SCORE! She's tough! SCORE! She's got 5 kids! SCORE! Her son is going to Iraq in the Armed Forces! SCORE! She's married to a Blue-collar professional! SCORE! She's smart! SCORE! She's young! SCORE!
And she's a Hotty to boot! SCORE! The Left is going to go nuts! SCORE!

science! What a joke. You people have no idea what scientific experiment actually requires. If you're theory is correct, then in fact, Greenland must have always been snow covered except, IT WASN'T. And those Alps; they once were being mined.
October 2nd, 2008 at 11:30 pmNo snow folks.
Must have been those cars driving around a 1000 years ago.
If you actually did an ounce of research yourself you'd know that CO2 does not cause rises in the earth's climate.
There is a direct correlation between CO2 and temperature. But if you look at any graph (for instance Al Gore's Inconvenient Truth graph) you can see that temperature rises and CO2 FOLLOWS by a few hundred years. Meaning that temperature rises and CO2 rises as a result a few hundred years later, and not the other way around as you have been led to believe.
Where the correlation is exact is in sun activity. As sun activity increases the temperature follows EXACTLY. So, increased sun activity causes climate increase which causes CO2 to rise.
There have been times throughout the Earth's history when CO2 has been 10X as high as it is now, and the earth has survived; even the polar bears have survived.
The notion that global warming is manmade is absolutely ridiculous. Do your research.

I would have expected a true Bushie would have been more careful about hiding obvious lawbreaking in such a way that even when you know the truth, you can’t really prove it because the Bushie pleads the 5th or ignores a subpoena or “can’t recall” or just lies. Video evidence? Amateur mistake. Rank amateur. Definitely not the professionalism I’ve come to expect from the Bush administration.
