Sarah Palin: Cause of Global Warming 'Kinda Doesn't Matter'

Back to blog

saving the earth

I guess kinda sounds good to me since everyone else is so narrowminded- I think sarah is refreshing to the system instead of the old menusha we have been recieving for decades. People think she is not qualified to be president is a very poor judgement- its the person that surrounds themselves with people who gives advice to correct problems in our world. If you think obama is more qualified i guess your right- but havnt there been woman in other countries who were prime ministers- england thatcher, israel golda- for gods sake if she is so terrible how did she get elected to the govenor of alaska- so in real terms the people of alaska should not vote because they are not qualified to choose the right person- tsk tsk tsk - shame on you for condemming- sounds like the spanish inquisition. I have also heard that other woman are jealous of her for many reasons i will not mention- I am also sure that detectives are out there trying to find some smut on her

you should be ashamed of yourself for calling yourself americans- The qualifications to be president of the united states is age and birth- THATS IT! If im not mistaken harry s truman sold hats before he became senator and then president- no lawyer- have at it

global warming

well my first thought is that gore has asked all americans to change there lifestyle and use less lighting and change to the low flourescent bulbs- hummm! yet when you drive by his mansion every light on the house is on- so he says for us to do this but its alright for him to maintain his lifestyle- how selfcentered. now about global warming - I have read many articles about the human causing this warming trend and if we dont stop what we are doing our environment wil change. ok- now i would like a response about this scenario- after the melting has started in greenland there is now land that has not been seen ever before because of the icepack. since it has started to melt scientists have found fossils and evidence of trees that flourished there before the ice came- so now isnt it possible that we are witnessing a change in nature just as the ice age came and went.why are there trees under the ice pack or are we to also be blamed for the ice age? I dont even think we were here when that happened. This could just be a natural thing that happens within natures cleansing of the planet. Restaring itself the way it always has done. We think of ourselves of such importance. The way i see it is that we are fleas on a dogs back and when the earth gets tired of us it will just flick us off its back and find a differant species to be at the top of the food chain

Sarah Palin

I've heard comments from respected? journalists that she did pretty well. If a monkey can learn sign language certainly a ditsy human being can learn enough facts to stand up there, avoid questions directed at her and get credit for being knowledgeable.

Sarah is the House!

Palin was 100% right when she stated that the cause of climatic change is Not Solely Manmade ,but that natural factors which have been at work since the earth began i.e. "cyclical" have been proven by studies from the international scientific community (predating the politization of the concept referred to as Global Warming ".Palin acknowledged this Inconveneient Truth -to her credit & Joe Bidens' shock .LOL.It was Biden that appeared chained to the one dimensional belief laying blame on the United States for every thing wrong in the world. A mantra Obama & the World View Orchestra chant in unison.C'mon Joe we know it should be have been you running for President.Palin passed on a opportunity to parry Bidens zinger (she gave him a huge throwdown line re: Chaneys' precedent setting role)- but Bidens' Achilles is, that Like Chaney , Biden Will Have to be in the Loop on most every Major Policy Decision to keep Obama credible.I don't know if I'd call it a draw, but you can be sure that Ahmadinejhad just made a "poopy".

Women's right to choose what?

The correct phrase is womens' legal right to choose abortion, to take human life with no legal penalty.

What kind of matters is that Palin obviously has her own religion and hasn't converted to Al Gore's.Great story on the wires today about an eco-moron in LA who stores garbage in his house to reduce his "carbon footprint". A perfect representative of his co=religionists

Lies!

Sarah Palin believes that global warming is just god hugging us closer, and that's good enough for me! Yee-haw!

The Cause of Global Warming is NOT relevant

Global warming IS NOT a man made thing. Global warming and global cooling are artifacts of the Earth's life cycle. We have been through a number of ice ages and ice age melts (aka "global warming").

So the cause is only relevant if we are going to attack the root cause of the problem: the Earth. Chances are we won't win that battle with the Earth.

Now that isn't to say that Humans aren't accelerating global warming. So technically we shouldn't be concerned with the *cause* of global warming, since that dates back billions of years, we should be more concerned with the cause of the acceleration of global warming.

So in my opinion, Palin's comments aren't too off. She does admit that there are problems and we need to do something about it, which is much better than the complete denial by some conservatives.

Global Warming

This is what Sarah Palin was unable to say because of the interview setting: "We are working against nature and its purposes to satisfy a right way of responsible living. This is why the climate is turning against us. The earth is alive in a way we do not realize because we are too blinded by our collective narcissism to be humble enough to take care of each other as we were designed. In our pride we feel we have the right to be wrong and refuse our right to be right in our responsibilities. There is a structure of authority that is mostly cast aside as we go about our self destructive ways. Our egos and the pride of emotional intensities brings us to ignore our places unto ourselves and others. We have forgotten to be humble enough to appreciate the reasons for the various functions of our existence and we have passed the misconceptions onto our children."
