(CNN) - Sarah Palin is hitting back at California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's dig at the former Alaska governor over the issue of climate change.
"Why is Governor Schwarzenegger pushing for the same sorts of policies in Copenhagen that have helped drive his state into record deficits and unemployment?" Palin wrote on her Facebook page Tuesday night. "Perhaps he will recall that I live in our nation's only Arctic state and that I was among the first governors to create a sub-cabinet to deal specifically with climate change."
Palin's comments came hours after the California Republican questioned Palin's stance on climate change in an interview with the Financial Times at the Copenhagen climate change summit
"You have to ask: what was she trying to accomplish?" said Schwarzenegger, who has backed strict new emissions controls to combat climate change. "Is she really interested in this subject or is she interested in her career and in winning the (Republican presidential) nomination? You have to take all these things with a grain of salt."
The former Republican vice presidential nominee has questioned whether human activity contributes to climate change, and wrote an op-ed in the Washington Post last week blasting the cap and trade policy promoted by the Obama administration to limit emissions. She has also called on President Obama to boycott the Copenhagen conference.
On her Facebook page Tuesday night, Palin said Schwarzenegger was acting "greener than thou."
"While I and all Alaskans witness the impacts of changes in weather patterns firsthand, I have repeatedly said that we can't primarily blame man's activities for those changes," she wrote. "And while I did look for practical responses to those changes, what I didn't do was hamstring Alaska's job creators with burdensome regulations so that I could act 'greener than thou' when talking to reporters."
Palin also mixed it up last week with former vice President Al Gore, who dubbed her a climate change "denier."
Also on her Facebook page, Palin criticized the former vice president for promoting "doomsday scenarios": "Climate change is like gravity – a naturally occurring phenomenon that existed long before, and will exist long after, any governmental attempts to affect it."

Sarah Palin: AMEN!!! It's time to start putting the correct phrase back together "The THEORY of Global Warming." It has not been proven in the scientific world, only the political world. We are suffering to regulations and job losses because of it. Conservation people!
Palin: "Climate change is like gravity – a naturally occurring phenomenon that existed long before, and will exist long after, any governmental attempts to affect it."
So is diaper rash but I'll bet you didn't just let your children suffer with it. Yes, it's naturally occurring but CO2 from burning fossil fuels has escalated it.
But even if you don't believe this, you shouldn't be ignoring the fact that all of these fossil fuels are not renewal. They are being depleted at an alarming rate. If we don't invest in renewable forms of energy, future generations will suffer and curse our selfishness and ignorance.
Why is the women still giving "beauty pagent" answers to important questions such as climate control? I really believe if she wanted to help Alaska, she would have remained in office, instead of trying to get rich quick on her 15 minutes of fame. I wonder if she would stay home and take care of the kids if Todd had a job?
Please, please, please make this woman go away.
Arnold is WORKING for the People. Palin is a quiter, & unemployed.
I have respect people who WORK.
Aw, Sarah looks like little red riding hood!!!
The only thing Palin could do to help save our earth is to dig a hole into it, in her back yard, and plant some peas. If she waters regularly, she'll soon have a new supply to replenish her brain.
I cringe every time when there is a mention of whats her name from Alaska. It was a stroke of something that her name was brought to the national stage, but frankly, her expressed opinions clearly indicate how uninformed (I will stop short of saying uneducated) she is. While I understand that the news media is covering all angles, I just wish that her name just disappear from print altogether.
John McCain, I was one of your fans and I am disappointed that it was you who gave whats her name a stage to demonstrate her ineptitude and lack of common sense.
Sarah Palin is only interested in Sarah Palin and making big bucks for herself.
Ah yes, America's most hated woman. Most hated, that is, by the radical Left, who tolerate no dissent, who cannot accept criticism and who are adamant about getting their way regardless of the consequences. Palin is so disliked by the Left because she represents their worst fears; an attractive, likable potential opposition candidate who makes sense on a lot of issues and who hurls well targeted challenges at the Left's most dearly held tenets and dogmas. Worst of all, she is more experienced and qualified than the man the radical Left ramrodded into the oval office. The more visibility Palin gets and the more Obama fumbles, the more evident this becomes. Lacking facts and sound arguments, the Left has traditionally relied on ridicule, insult, misdirection and bullying as its tools of the trade. So there's nothing new here folks, please move along.
Schwarzenegger is correct on this one. I don't know where Palin gets the idea that being environmentally responsible (not polluting) is causing fiscal problems in California. I think that Palin needs to put down what ever drug she is using and take off the blinders and see what is really going on in California and her own state of Alaska. There are local people in Alaska that are feeling the effects of the tempature changing - houses built on ice are being destroyed because the ice is melting or shifting destroying the house.
She is typical of many ideological Republicans - let business do what it wants because it knows best; they'll clean up their own mess if it really needs to be cleaned up. I would figure that she would know better given the Valdez accident some years back.
Another point that needs to be considered:
If advocates for clean, renewable energy are wrong, the worst that can happen is that we end up with renewable, alternative forms of energy. As a trade-off for the cost, we have renewable energy-related jobs and energy when fossil fuels are depleted.
If you are wrong, and we do nothing to reduce the CO2 and develop cleaner energy, the worse that happen is we have no more fuel to produce energy and no more energy-related jobs, but that won't matter because the Earth will die anyhow!
So, what do we have to lose by reducing our CO2 output and investing in clean energy? This is actually not about blaming anyone. It's common sense, Sarah -Sarah? common sense? Oh, never mind.
You think Arnold would shut up by now on any environmental issue. Its a fraud and he promoting any portion of it should be labeled as a fraud. Shut up and go quietly into the night. Man-made warming is a hoax. Why do you think Al Gore switch from warming to climate change years ago. He saw the writing on the wall. If we had an honest media he would have been exposed years ago. Lets see his emails – lets go hackers – target this clown.
So according to Palin, we can pollute as much as we want and it will not affect the climate of the earth? Wow.. just wow!
I admit palin isn't very bright. I admit she isn't intelligent enough to be president. I admit electing her president would be a disaster. But she is hot!!!! Palin for president in 2012...2016...2020...2024 or till she is no longer hot.
Sarah Palin is aself serving rat. Nothing more, nothing less.
If brains were lard, Palin's wouldn't grease a 3-inch pan.
Right on, Arnold!!! It's time for Arnold to step up and lead the GOP back into the land of reality. Next, he needs to shut down Rush, Beck and O'Reilly. They are nothing but gas bags fueled by 100% organic manure, and are sitting too close to the fan. After that, he needs to make a wake-up call to the mental midget, Joe Lieberman, who is afflicted with multiple political party/personality disorder, and commitment issues.
Touche, Gov. Palin. Schwarzenegger is clearly a RINO. He has no fiscal responsibility and in some cases, no common sense.
Sarah is right. It is a naturally occurring phenomenon. Al Gore needed attention so he jumped on the climate change bandwagon and made it a doomsday scenario. Another Nobel Prize that was cheapened.
"While I and all Alaskans witness the impacts of changes in weather patterns firsthand".
Apparently you have to live in the Arctic to experience signs of global warming. I live in Columbus, Ga and after 3 years of record drought we have just experienced the wettest year on record. Republicans are so worried about the debt their grandchildren will inherit because of the huge deficits we are running that they don't seem to care about the fact that we are ruining the environment they will inherit making the mere survival much more harsh. Once again, with republicans, it comes down to their wallets. Nothing else matters.
Arnie was quoted in an interview with the Financial Times. Palin's response is taken from a Facebook page. Why is it that anytime Palin is quoted from an interview, she sounds like Bush explaining quantum physics, yet she miraculously develops mediocre eloquence when she "writes" something?
Seems to me that if a marginally intelligent person like Arnold can see that Palin is a blithering idiot, then she MUST be a blithering idiot, right?
Arnold needs to concentrate on the broken mess that California has become instead of fighting with Sarah Palin.
She forgot to say that she is also a quitter and just interested in making a name and money for herself
Palin says that climate change is a natural phenomenon. It very well may be! But that is no excuse to do nothing about it. Floods are a natural phenomenon, but do we not sand bag houses and put up levies? Drought is a natural phenomenon, but do we not cut irrigation channels and create reservoirs? Man is an awesome force that has been altering natural phenomenon for as long as we have existed. If we know that climate change is the destructive force that it is, why do we care that it is natural or man-made if we can do something about it?
I guarantee that if an asteroid were headed towards Sarah Palin, she'd be the first to try to nuke it to prevent it from causing harm. She would not say "eh, it's natural."
Seems to me that Ms. Palin exhibits the most UN-Christian-like attiitude and language than anyone I've ever heard. Her negativity, me-first, egotistical, and incendiary language is very disheartening.
Palin couldn't stand the heat as a state executive. At least the Governator is not a quitter. If you are in government and you want to serve the public, you have to be tough and thick-skinned, not a greedy money-grubber like Palin who only wants to line her pockets.
Wow!!! Even though Palin PhD thinks human activites don't contribute to climate change, I can't believe Palin thinks climate change is real! I thought climate change would fall under the same category as dinosaurs and tubal ligation for her!
Alaska is the lucky state to be rid of Sarah. The rest of us have to endure her stupidity in the news every day. Enough of Sarah.
It comes to no surprise that Palin would hide behind the computer screen to attack Schwarzenegger. Even her grammar needs fixing:
"While I and all Alaskans witness the impacts of changes in weather patterns firsthand
It should be: "While all of Alaskans and I witness the impacts of changes in weather patterns firsthand,....
She has also mixed up several facts on the cause of the deficit and unemployment that has nothing to do with climate change policies.
As usual she cannot stay on topic. she has to find something else to put down. Well I am sure if she wants to go there.. and Arnold wants to stoop as low as her he could bring up quite a bit!!
She just needs to sit down and shut up.
On this one, she's actually correct. Emissions contribute to warming, but, they also contribute to cooling. After 9/11 when the airspace over the US was devoid of contrails for three days, the temperature range actually increased. Less pollution (emissions) higher temps. This is known as global dimming. I'm all for a cleaner environment and cleaner air and have taken steps to decrease my carbon footprint by using passive solar heating in my home. But, the arrogance of politicians to think that signing a piece of paper will alter the laws of nature is absurd. In addition, to hamstring our economy by placing an enormous increase in production costs at this time is not the most prudent step forward while trying to get Americans back to work. It would be easier to stomach the current Copenhagen meetings if the participants could have figured out a cleaner way to get there and conduct their meeting. Rather than flying hundreds of jets and renting thousands of limos, perhaps a large video conference using carbon-neutral technologies such as cyber space would have been more appropriate.
Al Gore, in his usual fashion, also made hysterical claims that the scientist whose research he was quoting wouldn't even stand by. That should be red flag #1.
Ahh Sarah............ On what do you base your opinions and why should anyone listen to you? When did you become THE expert on climat change???? What a joke!
I think my respect for Arnold just went up a few.
Its nice to see some Republicans are not all idiots. If more were like this I would consider voting for them.
Arnie, Arnie, Arnie - look, I don't live in California. I don't know if you've been a good governor, a bad governor, an effective governor, whatever, but there is one thing you have to remember. YOU have a brain and you actually THINK. Palin doesn't even have two working brain cells. Her opinions don't hold water and she's a loon (with all due respect to that particular bird).
Wonder if Palin can see California from her back door?
Yeah, about as naturally occurring as a GIGANTIC ASTROID HITTING THE EARTH AND CAUSING IT TO COOL. I'd call that one heck of a doomsday scenario...
Thank god there are some reasonable Republicians like Arnold, and luckily, they, like Arnold, cannot run for head office in this country.
Seriously, this lady is whacko...she might as well go find Bubbles the Monkey and do a double act.
Thank you Mr. Schwarzenegger. I agree with you completely. This woman does not know how to stay out of the limelight. She is an addict to fame.
What in the hell does Sarah Palin know about climate change? Woman: Please shut up! You look like a fool talking nonsense.
I know the truth hurts. There is no such thing as man made global warming. Sarah Palin tell it as it is.
I never ever ever ever thought I'd say this but I actually agree with Palin on this one. There just isn't enough evidence to mandate the types of restrictions being discussed in Copenhagen. If we've learned anything these past few months, it's that the climate scientists had their own agenda and manipulated data to sell that agenda.
With that said, we should do anything REASONABLE to keep our environment as prestine as we can. Tighter emission standards should be applied everywhere, but let's not over do it.
Arnold is wrong on this one. "Climate change" is not related to human activity, but to natural occurrences (sun's activity) and natural cycles (alert! weather changes! zowie!)
Gorbachev, years ago, "Red has become Green," and the "Green Movement" is being used to bring us into a police state.
Arnold: THINK!
Please go away palin!
While I don't know without a reasonable doubt that climate change is or is not affected by man, I would not put myself out there to deny either side. Given Palin's lack of education and logic, she doesn't have a good leg to stand on with this topic. I do agree with the "Al Gore's" and say we should cut back on emissions, as it does lead to air pollution (this fact is proven in major cities around the world). So unless Palin can provide scientific evidence, and not just theory, she really should keep her mouth shut on the subject.
The lady is in need of a brain transplant. Sarah needs to be careful. there is a little known exclusion in the proposed healthcare bill that will specifically exclude coverage for terminal stupidity, chronic lying, and non specific dumbness. contagious bigotry will not be covered either. If her lips are moving, she's lying.
SARAH AND FLYS I do despise one spreads germs and the other spreads lies. The more Sarah speaks the more I like flies.
It's funny because Sarah Palin is learning about cap and trade as she tries to promote herself. She proved during the presidential election that she is definitely not an intellect. However, she is trying to learn buzz words and catch phrases as quickly as possible because she is trying to promote herself. She quit the governorship of Alaska so she could sell books and make lots of money. It was never about Alaska but about Sarah Palin. She wanted to capitalize on her fame. This person is a loose cannon because of McCain. McCain was the person who believed woman were idiots and would vote for Palin since Hillary lost to Obama. McCain is the same person who said Iraq was safe even though he had a mile long security team and helicopters over head. They all lie!
Do we really believe these words come from this twit? Does she have a ghost writer for this as well? Numbskull! Go back to play with the kids in Alaska your moron housewife (sorry for offending the housewives).
Arnold, you don't have to take her with a grain of salt, but I think a coupld shots of tequila would help!
Sarah Palin walks around with her foot perpetually in her mouth. Where would her state be (the one she abandoned) if it were not for the oil reserves it possess? One hint.....In worst shape than California.
Fight on! Come on!
Wow, Sarah Palin would refer climate change as "a burden". I forgot Sarah Palin is a scientist also, and she knows that man has not helped climate change along. Sure it might be "natural phenomenon" but how fast it's happening, and how much damage we do with our population to our limited resources, I think it's worth "the burden" on humans to change a little. That's just common sense, everyone would be a fool to not think a little bit about it. The changes are obvious, not just in her artic state! Just the weather alone in all states (which the scientist said would happen) has happened. And leave it to a republican to not want to change for the better. Cutting emissions sure it's a change and it's not easy but it's a healthy change and it couldn't hurt for the future. How can she defend something that she doesn't know about for sure? It's definitely a possibility that's why it's laid out on the table, and the people that don't want the burden of changing are trying to claim it's a natural phenomenon instead of looking at all the information. They'd rather ignore what's going on and take a risk that could kill us all.
Right on Governor Schwarzenegger. Exactly what her concern is.
Gee, and this is coming from a Governor that has a state technically bankrupt, people fleeing the state in droves because they are over taxed and over-regulated. If you want to see pollution, look and LA and San Francisco. He wants to have his moment in the spotlight by slamming Governor Palin, He should look at the huge branch sticking in his OWN eye.
I suppose Palin believes she knows more than the science experts on climate control and she's willing to risk us destroying the only earth we have to live on based on her esteemed knowledge. Give me a break!
But Sarah,gravity doesn't change, does it? Perhaps for a lightweight like you, but for the rest of us it's always been a constant. Maybe you should Goggle Isaac Newton.
The action movie actor and the pageant queen arguing about climate change. Well, that's about right for the Republican party.
"Palin criticized the former vice president for promoting "doomsday scenarios""
Hold on... isn't Palin's Pentacostal belief system all about the "end times" coming soon to a hick town near you? On one hand, you have actual end-of-the-world scenarios, on the other, biblical dogma. Sounds like a great president to me!
If the sub committee that you created and all the other policies while you were governor of Alaska meant so much to you Palin, why did you quit? Doesn't say much for you as a person who claims to care so much about anything that has to do with anything. What you do care about is promoting yourself and your far right ideologies. Get out of the public limelight Sarah.............................................
I wonder if she ever read her sub-cabinet's report, which shows rising temperatures, to average above freezing in the tundra areas, over the next decade. Any thinking person in charge of a state would not deny this research, but embrace it and find ways to make changes. Not Sarah. She'd rather take the easy route, quit her job, and then go around the country bashing scientists and people who have been studying this phenomena for decades. But hey, it gets her back in the news over and over again. And since her followers don;t seem to care whether or not she knows what she is talking about, they just agree and paint another Palin 2012 sign. Good luck with that. She can run, but she cannot win.
arnold is correct, her agenda is differnt and she proved that over and over again. palin do relaiity show or something. i just don't even think she knows what she is talking about most of the time..well i don't ..she just wants to have opinion that never make sense...please go away
Alas, maybe we have finally found someone who can Terminate our friend Ms. Moron Ex-Governor.
Good for you Arnord!!! Finally a republican who is willing to call Palin for the fake that she really is.
It is obvious to all of us that humanity has some impact on our climate. But these highly educated individuals forecasting doom should remember that the earth has experienced great shifts in it's climate before. Anyone hear about the ICE AGE. Or the Dark Ages brought on by a volcanic eruption. Like Mrs. Palin, I believe we should look at all possible ways to satbilize our impact on our world but not suddenly blame humanity for every woe and make decisions based on fear and conjecture.
Palin isn't the brightest buld on the tree when it comes to understanding politics. The biggest mistake made in 2008 was adding Palin to the ticket. As an independent, I was willing to vote for McCain until he added Palin to his ticket. If McCain wanted an amateur, he should have asked me to be on the ticket. I'm not sure why Palin thinks she is so important.
And Palin wins again.
wow man has tossed tons of greenhouse gasses every day into the atmospher and she claims man has no impact on climate,what a compleat bafoon that one is. Apperantly she does mot have a clue beyomd alaska when it comes to pollution and climate change and the effects on our brothers and sisters around the world.
And this from the person who chanted " Drill Baby Drill".
Go ahead Arnie, you are ill-informed and irrelevent. Palin is running circles around Obama and all you lefties out there. Her approval is actually above Obama's right now. We'll see who comes out on top.
She is unqualified to issue an opinion on global warming. As such, I wish she would shut up.
Who did she get to write her comments. She doesn't have enough sense to put three words together.
LOL Good lord that woman is a joke!!! She acts like a first grader...always something smart to say. I mean seriously can you imagine her as president or any leadership postion in our goverment??? LOL LOL LOL
Ken from Houston
Yep, because you are from Alaska it makes you an expert on the environment because you can see the weather change just like your an expert on foreign policy because you can see Russia from your backdoor. Man I wish all of our leaders were from Alaska!!!!
Sarah Palin is doing everything she can to stay in the lime light.... Go away Sarah Palin. Nobody cares what you do but your twisted base.
It is always easy to criticize from the sidelines when your only job is to take jabs at the ones that keep digging in and working. It is harder to work day after day even though things are tough.
Sarah, you quit your job why? How long did you supevivse your 'sub-committee' ?
Sarah Palin...go back to the hole you crawled out of
At least Palin can respond better than Schwarzeneger at actually understanding verbaly!
finally, to stay relevant, palin has had to engage in some of the policy debates on which her position was non-existent and/or unclear. in that process, she is being exposed as the sloganeering simpleton she we feared she was.... keep on posting, baby!
Woot...
Palin vs. Schwarzenegger...
I think we got the making of an another epic action movie
AJ
Why wont the "experts show all the data , why do they evade the freedom of info act ? If it's true show the work! Or is it fake . Even NASA shows cooling for 6 years. But we need to tax the rest of the life out of the middle class to stop something the they contrived.
I have to stand with Arnold: why should we have to listen to a quitter like Palin who can barely read and has no idea of where the capital of the Phillipines is located (duh....).
Palin believes in anything as long as it gives her an edge with ultra conservatives, even when it does not make any sense.
Republicans fighting over who's greener. My God is this really happening?
Waw finaly somebody is telling us the trueth ! I am a red hot fan of palin,
Palin always makes me laugh whenever she opens her mouth and lets the manure fly free.
a Facebook reply? What are we, 12?
fyi Palin... California's deficits/unemployment have little/nothing to do with California's climate change/environmental policies. Besides... is destroying the environment less important than deficits? If so, enjoy your mercury/lead polluted drinking water!
She schooled this loser and thankfully "he won't be back".
She IS NOT saying there are NO issues, but the FACT is that the world has had warmer periods, colder periods and the e-mails that were recently put out proves that the "geniuses" can't explain everything and OTHER scientists say they are full of it and the e-mails state "how to silince them".
That's all.
He has ruined "callyfornia" and that is a fact as well.
If you sheep want to ruin this country by believing the SAME GENIUSES that in the 1970's we HAD GLOBAL COOLING and the KILLER BEES were going to kill us all (and there was supposed consensus for those LIES as well), go right ahead.
Not a denier, but a realist.
And, to think that 2 million idiots bought her book? No wonder people think most Americans are dumb! What a waste of news space!
Sarah never knows what she talks about and that's what makes it funny and interesting. Instead of a morning coffee, her irrational talk and speeches substitute mightily for my caffeine need for the week!!
I personally don't care how you define the causes of global warming, but I do think you need to be clear on your position. The president should boycott a conference talking about ways to deal with climate change because why, Sarah? You don't know what options are on the table and you deny all ideas to deal with warming.
I guess if it's natural we should do nothing and pollute ourselves silly until the planet's unliveable.
So a sub-committee was your reply...not bureaucratic at all..
Or also...
"Evolution is like gravity – a naturally occurring phenomenon that existed long before, and will exist long after, any governmental attempts to deny it."
Funny how Palin understands neither. – j
You go girl! Let them have it. It was these 'environmentalists who put restrictions on Nuclear power 30 years ago. And now that the rest of the world is ahead of US in this area, they are saying 'oh it would be great if it were not so expensive'. It is the regulations that you all put on Nuclear Energy is what makes it so expensive. Now they are after the entire economy. I am so glad we have one woman in this country who has the courage to go toe to toe with these people.
palin is full of nothings.
Dear Dear Sarah:
I thought you quit! Now go away!
Thank you.
Wow, Palin says another stupid thing in her attempt to gain some sort of relevance. I also did not know she was a climate change expert. It is obvious now, as it was when she ran as VP, she lacks the knowledge, ability and language skills to lead on the national stage.
"Perhaps he will recall that I live in our nation's only Arctic state and that I was among the first governors to create a sub-cabinet to deal specifically with climate change."
I think that was his point. You took it seriously for the 2.3 years you were governor, but now you don't because it's politically advantageous for you not to. Wow, you really are dense.
The State of California is on the verge of being the first state to declare total and complete bankruptcy..........why would anyone listen to anything Schwarzengger has to say.
The only thing the Governor and the California State Senate have successfully done is make California the poster child for what NOT to do.
One other thing...apparently Palin's porch is some sort of 8th wonder of the world. You can see Russia and global warming from it. She should sell tickets.
In my haste to verbally dismember Palin, I succumbed to her level of intellect and spelled "stupidity" without two T's in my first post. My bad.
She sure likes to bring God into everything. So many believe the words written by men 2000 years ago warning us to obey God who we should love unconditionally . With so many people on this planet needing love and compassion why do so many only give it to an imaginary being? The bible=hate plain and simple. The Pope and others like him should be charged with crimes against humanity.
This woman believes that men walked with dinosaurs and advocates creationism. Anything that comes out of her mouth is for political and financial gain. Her beloved Alaska has been heating up for decades and she still can't see it.
There is nothing unusual about leaders not agreeing with everything, none do...as with any close team, concessions are made for the good of what/who they represent. In parenting you also have a very close team effort of the parties involved to make the best informed decision for the child they look after...it is not absurd that they obtain input from the child (third party)...and it is not absurd that the decision they make isn't always the right one. At some point we must continue to let our leaders know our feelings and have trust them to make the best decision. Sure it is disappointing when it doesn't pan out as we would like, but we know it was done in good faith...so let's learn and move on. Governors, Senators and other leaders, thank you for trying.
Stupid is as stupid does.
Seriously folks, this is what you get when you underfund public education in your country for decades. Now you have a whole generation to work through before you can even see an improvement.
Decline of the empire....
Sarah Palin would stab Mother Nature in the face is she thought it might sell more books.
Incidentally, what's with Palin wearing a Fidel Castro cap?
Palin is a gold-digger and will and is NOT qualified to be President of U.S. maybe a Mayor....... she trying trying to run on her looks alone and there better be smarter AMERICANS than that!!!!
I noticed that when Laura Ingram asked her about debating the issue she quickly backed out of that deal. As far as dooms day scenarios her party is the clear leader in that field.
Why doesn't CNN just black list failin palin and not ever mention her name again, let her take her bridge to nowhere so we never hear her name again – her point of view on anything means nothing
Now children...don't make us put you in time out.
Arnie: there is not enough evidence to prove conclusively that man is responsible for global warming, just as there was no proof in the 70's about global cooling. we all know Al Gore is a liar. He didn't invent the internet and he produced a sloppy, dead boring powerpoint presentation that has little or inaccurate facts.
Sarah: Arnie is right...what are you up to? I am asking you NOT to run for public office again...if you have to quit being a governor, then you have no business in the white house. Stick to what you are doing now.
the only green the quitter from wasilla believes in is her bank account
What makes her a climate change expert? She gets scarier and scarier every day. Please NO in 2012...
Obviously climate change is affected by naturalky occuring patterns, but to deny that man has caused damage with the advent of industry, increased emmissions etc is extremely ignorant. You do not need to be a brain surgeon to see that it does.
If Palins thinks that we shouldnt do things to stem the tide because in teh short term it will cause us to change the way we do things is silly.
This of course is the same person who caters to religious nuts who believe the world was flooded and the only ones who survived were on an ark. That you believe..but climate change and how we cause that if far beyond your comprehension. Fascinating
Palin has the common sense approach
Goverment will not change nature
Will only styme progress during a recession
Shame on Al Gore and his decietful propaganda.
As for Arnold/ just look what he has done for California/
nuf said
I know you won't publish this, but I do question your use of a glamour shot of Palin and a standard tough looking picture of Schwarzenegger.
You don't think that influences people? Of course it does. Palin certainly doesn't need to make snide remarks about acting holier than thou, or pointing out how others are scaring people. What about her remarks making it seem like all elderly people are headed to Death Squads, and her mean insinuations about Obama. If we wanted CNN to turn into FOX, we would ask you to do that. How about focusing more on the 22,000,000 and counting emails that went missing???
Why don't you write about that, Mr. Mooney?
Well Sarah, while California has suffered economic strife and who is at fault is open for debate, at least The Governator has stayed the course and is trying to lead his state out of it's malaise and has to make some hard, unpopular decisions in the process. So for The Governator, the term "When the going gets tough, the tough get going." seems to apply. However, the term "When the going gets tough, it sends her running." best describe yous and your bailing on your home state a few months ago.
'nuff said you quitter!
Clearly, Sarah did not write her Facebook remarks all by herself. And where did she get that fascist hat she is wearing?
Doomsday scenarios? Do tell lady Chicken Little, do tell... What were those socialist nightmares you ranted and raved about over a 3% tax increase on the wealthy, the same percentage that was enjoyed under Reagan?
How about the guilt by association, "pals around with terrorists..." fear tactic when you and your ilk feverishly tried to find some dirt on Obama himself?
Can you still see Russia from your house? Cause you clearly can't see the forest for the trees.
They deserve each other: Palin with her slippery equivocations and Schwarzenegger (and his wife) with their fleet of Hummers that they cannot seem to do without.
Yeah, it's kinda funny having a CA gov telling a former AK gov what's what (with CA bankrupt and all that!). Palin is so great–a cool, confident, educated, experienced politician who relates to common people and holds conservative views (so irksome to libs who are the ones who think women should "stay in their place" as liberals.
As a colonel in the military, I served in Alaska for two years while Sarah Palin was governor. I even met her a couple of times. She is pleasant enough, but......she got one significant piece of legislation passed, and it was significant, setting the rules for a gas pipeline. However, in spite of, or perhaps because of, the ignorance of folks in the Lower 48 regarding Alaska, she has successfully managed to portray herself as Alaska's best governor ever. Not really the case. She polarized (forgive the pun) the State just as she has the nation. Even then, she had a bad habit of blaming other people for her problems and pouting when things did not go her way. The problem is not that she is not smart. She is smart, though not well-read, and if you read anything she writes, you will note she speaks only in platitudes. The problem is she believes there are two sides to an argument: her side and the wrong side. And when things don't go her way, she quits....just like she quit (what else can you call it?) her job as governor. Say what you will about Arnold. Say he ran for governor as something of a joke for late-night television. But in spite of his low job ratings, the awful fiscal mess California has become, and other challenges.....he is staying at his post.
Does Palin have any sort of research to back up her bold statements concerning climate change? Labeling it as "a naturally occurring phenomenon" without sufficient evidence is dangerous.
Palin is a joke, she did not even finish her term as Gov. of Alaska, it is easy for her to speak to crowds (for large $$$) and state her views but it appears it is hard for her to accept a position like the Gov of Alaska and try to enact her views. Lots of talk, little action (thank goodnes, she is a nut)
"Perhaps he will recall that I live in our nation's only Arctic state and that I was among the first governors to create a sub-cabinet to deal specifically with climate change."
Sarah, Sarah, Sarah, you were for it and now you are against it!!!!! Anyone taking this woman seriously must be idiot.
I'm pretty sure Palin's environmental knowledge comes from all the time she spends playing Farmville on Facebook.
Because she's from Alaska – you would think she would have a much better understanding of the whole issue/reality of global warming and it's unequivocal relation to things man is doing. Her statements on global warming show little regard for reality and as Schwarzenegger points out part of a separate 2012 political agenda... The problem here – is that she's simple minded and opinionated in ways that greatly hurt the national interest – whether it be death panels – or the melting ice caps – or her thoughts on energy.
And let's not forget this is the Sarah who couldn't finish the as Governor – and the Sarah who's running around the country right now peddling a book someone else wrote for her.
So now Palin is a "climate encyclopedia?"
She believes in gravity now? I guess that's a start.
Why does the media continue to report on every inane comment that comes from this dimwit. She should have been relegated to the ashcan of history a very long time ago. The media should be reporting on the factual basis of climate change and on the commentary of people with knowledge and understanding of the science involved (llike Al Gore), not on this dingbat.
How anyone can take her seriously is beyond me. Yes Climate change is natural but the whole issue with Copenhagen is to discuss how human action is ACCELERATING that change. Let's not go around pointing fingers and accusing doomsday scenarios when you still haven't justified your 'Death Panels' BS.
Well, Palin is SO knowledgeable about the importance of climate change. After all, she reads everything she can get her claws on. Yeah, right.
I think climate change is a huge issue. I think Arnold hit it right on the head with his comments.
I think everyone needs to get on board with this and work together. And those that deny it should be completely disregarded and prevented from holding any political office.
I try to respect everyone. But this issue is too important to the future of all living things to pay attention to those who would deny it.
Of this threesome, Palin comes out, hands down, on the right side of this very bogus issue. Gore is an alarmist of gargantuan magnitude; Arnold is becoming an out-of-touch politician from an out-of-touch state. Palin is absolutely more credible because of her reasoned position and her EXPERIENCE with climate change! Go Sarah! Can't wait for 2012!
Schwarzenegger slamming palin. An interesting film....
She obviously never heard that old saying about not opening your mouth and proving yourself a fool. We all know her theory, since she is a deep thinking intellectual force and a climate scientist, is that global warming is just a natural part of the end of days. For those of us who live in the reality based community, like Arnold, it has a little different meaning.
While climate changes does occur, it usually takes thousands of years. We are seeing rapid changes in the last 30 years. So stick you head in the sand if it makes you feel any better, but anyone with an ounce of sense could figure out that this humans are contributing to this rapid warming. In Palin's case, the dumb, just get dumber. If only there was a 'smart' pill she could take...
Arnold, like Newt, is at least an intelligent republican.
Sarah is just plain dumb and can only spout slogans meant to inspire her conservative base full of equally dumb lemmings.
Is that a picture of Sara Palin or is it the Mattell Christmas sensation "Vice-President Barbie?"
She tells it like it is. Those who want socialist policies can't stand her. Those who want women to forsake family values and aspire to being selfish career-seeking individuals despise her. She is their worst nightmare. Since they have no legitimate argument against her and her success as Alaska's Governor, they have to tear her down by demeaning her. That, my friends, is shallow but I've seen it time and again from the liberal bases. Cry,cry,cry about her but she is resonating with a conservative base that is going to rise up at the polls in November of 2010. You libs will remember this statement for a LONG time!
I'd rather be told what could happen to the earth by Al Gore than have Palin telling me the government is going to kill my grandma.
I am a scientist and I think the following is a load of BS:
"Climate change is like gravity – a naturally occurring phenomenon that existed long before, and will exist long after, any governmental attempts to affect it."- Sarah Palin
Seriously America, she needs to not be elected. We cannot stand another idiot. We are trying to fix what has happened with the last one. This idiot is also a racist and major hypocrite.
She needs to get her facts strait about what we are doing to our environment. She is more concerned about drilling more oil in Alaska and getting a Republican Presidential Nomination.
On top of that, I think republicans are wasting some serious space in government these days. Talk about being conservative, they need to step down so as to minimize government. I think it would be a good series of lay-offs for the American Taxpayers.
No Republicans in Government = Major Tax breaks + Faster Smarter Decisions + Budget Surplus
Gotta love the Govenator.... And, I am from California... and liberal Democrat.
There is not stopping it. We should focus on how to survive and shelter our meek instead of "creating" new green jobs and co, stock deals, portfolios–get rich ala Al Gore. Its a waste of man power and money to try to stop the planet...we should be spending our resource on how to adapt.
If there is debate on beauty queens or the best recipe for Moose Chili, I would listen to her.. On anything else , she is a complete neophyte.
Palin is out of touch with reality. When the Atlantic Ocean covers New York City then maybe, just maybe, the GOPer's will see that they were wrong... and, as usual, they will be a day late and a dollar short!
While I appreciate Arnold taking time to deal with Silly Sarah, I hate to see anybody with a serious thought in their head wasting effort on that twit. The right-wingers set the bar for their idols so very, very low.
I do understand the tremendous industrial base that Alaska has, and adding any additional burdensome regulations to Alaskas clean air requirements may hamstring the many thousands of jobs that may not be added because of these regulations.
I applaude the forward thinking of Sarah!
Ahnold has it right – all she is interested in is her career – it's all about Sarah – at least in her eyes... Isn't it time for her to go wolf-hunting or something?
Okay, the only time she opens her mouth is to switch feet! She is the quitter, the hater, she prostitutes her children to the press and then complains about infringement on her privacy. She barely finished college and yet now apparently she's an expert on energy policy because the McCain campaign had to come up with some kind of excuse for selecting her (Hint: Dick Chaney told them they had to!). Remember she quit that energy regulation job in Alaska too. Probably too stressful. Mrs. Palin needs to go back to Wasilla and manage that REALLY expensive community center she had built!
Seriously Palin......get lost. You're a tired person with nothing intelligent to say.
I hope this nimrod Palin does attempt to run for Potus in 2012 , so everyone can really see how much of an idiot she is , at least Arnold didn't quit his job as govenor , Palin is nothing more that a blue-eyed devil trying to get rich from her minions with a book full of lies , at least some in the republican party knows she's a self-serving idiot , If she were ever to get near the White house this country is truely doomed ......
Sarah, please don't talk about your experience as a "Governor". You can not complete even one term of a backward state ; and that Alaska has huge natural oil revenues is not an accomplishment of yours in anyway!!
This must really be a slow news day. Who cares what caribou barbie thinks or says. In over fifty years of observing "public" people, Palin is the most uniformed and uneducated of any public person I have ever seen or heard of. The most frightful thought though is that the religious right wing of the republican party actually thinks she is at least semi-intelligent. God help us if this faction of the republican party every takes power.!!
This person is all of a sudden an expert on climate change, and just a few months ago she could answer a simple question. "What magazines do you read?" Wow!
Palin Facebook and Twitter pages should not be news.
Let's get a focus on real news and the responsible people that make it.
Your reporters need to get a life and stop publishing the senseless ramblings of a political has-been that came and went in a flash that was all she deserved.
Let's get our eye on the ball. There are serious issues and people out there that don't hide behind social networking sites to say things.
Are you going to report on every Facebook or Twitter comment out there? I am sure if you go to some of the hate-mongering sites there is some pretty juicy stuff to cover. Why ignore those? Why is Palin's pallid opinion so important to you?
Or does CNN have a hidden agenda to keep her face in the news cycle?
Why is she wearing that hat? Our abuse of earth is he cause of climate change. God created this beautiful place and man is slowly destroying it
Sounds like the Washington two step Sarah, say one thing and do another. If you truely believe in climate change and claim to be the 1st to add a " sub cabinet position" Why are you calling for President Obama to boycott the confrence ? Sarah baby read the newspapers you claim you read. In it there is a picture of an iceberg, near New Zealand. Thats a warm region of the world. Do we need to draw you a picture. Global warming does exist, can we predict when or how it has happen , who knows but it does exist.
Yikes! It's scary that somebody like Sarah Palin has any influence at all when it comes to the complicated issue of climate change. We ought to go ahead and let her practice brain surgery, too.
Please do not talk about your "experience as a Governor". You failed to complete even one term !!
Sadly, I find myself on the same side of the "climate change" debate as Failin' Palin. The "accepted" science is largely junk and scientists with legitimate data that contradicts the currently accepted view are ignored and vilified. Still, I think that I'll go home, take a couple of Tylenol and hope that Gov Palin is gone when I wake up.
This is absolutely bueatiful, people like Arnold and Al Gore are exposing the extremely childish attention craving person that we have come to know as Sarah Palin......
These topics like "Climate Change" is a serious topic that should be discussed by serious people...
Someone like Sarah Palin has no business attempting to inject her child like actions....... this woman is ONLY interested in being talked about, and crowds of dumb people screaming her name.....
John McCain must want to crawl under a rock everytime this dispicable person shows the country how childish and devious she is, the constant bickering with ANYONE that exposes her is the proof in the pudding.....How many serious Politicians you know that argue with Comedians and Entertainers......?
I think frost bite damaged Ms Palin's brain. Palin says ""...I was among the first governors to create a sub-cabinet to deal specifically with climate change." I'm glad to know you're on top of it Palin, just like the Tobacco companies are on top of preventing teen smoking with their anti-smoking programs. Some people just join a cause as part of damage control, if not for an attempt to all together sabotage it... I'm looking at you Palin. When the oil dries up in Alaska, and you've strip mined the mountains and hunted wolves to extinction, tourism will be your final form of revenue, and good luck getting tourists to come to Alaska for the crappy weather. Good thing Alaska has a lot of space, because Palin's a waste of it.
She now agrees with the climate change folks but disputes the cause. Big deal. She's now flops due to undeniable firsthand evidence witnessed in her state. She first claimed climate change is a hoax. She now says climate change is real. Who's right? You decide.
Why is Governor Schwarzenegger pushing for the same sorts of policies in Copenhagen that have helped drive his state into record deficits and unemployment?
Because life on earth matters more than money.
all of you fighting with Palin, it accomplishes nothing
well, except that she sells a few more books
One Ex, and one Soon-to-be Ex, Governors yipping at one another. While mildly entertaining – they are both entirely irrelevant.
Come on Sarah, you quit as Governor of Alaska, Arnold runs the largest state in the nation. I don't think you get to slam him.
I wish we could all move on. The climate data is bad, the earth may or may not be warming, it may or may not be caused by human activity (like breathing). But, regardless, having clean air and water is a good thing and you'd think an outdoor oriented person like Palin would be pro-environment, which in fact is very much a conservative position.
If Palin is going to complain about Al Gore creating "doomsday scenarios", then Palin needs to stop complaining about "death pannels", and how Obama is destroying the economy and the world.
But could Sister Sarah protect Americans from the Predator? Or would she just quit when things got tough?
Still baffles me why reporters have a need, nay, a compulsion to publish anything this moron (foisted on us by mccain) says or writes. I guess she will eventually be known as "McCain's Curse"
Neither is a bastion of intelligence, but GO ARNOLD!!
So is this how Palin is going to going to effect positive change in our country – the reason for her quitting as governor? It boils down to her make postings in Facebook?!? How brave. She is a quitter, a whinner and one uneducated mouthpiece for small minds. At least she has her looks. Have some dignity Sarah, enjoy your book profits and go hide away. You have no second act from here forward.
I'm curious. Just how did Sarah Palin accomplish so much in an shortened term as governor? Could it be that she is taking credit for the actions of other , more responsible civil servants. You know, those folks who didn't cut and run!
Palin, Schmalin......go away, wreak you havoc another day.
I find it hilarious that Palin criticizes California for being in debt, when Alaska takes in what, $2.50 for every $1 the feds get from it? California is the best as far as it's ROI for the government. In other words, Palin's state is a pathetic leech.
They had to change the name from "global warming " to " climate change . " Does that tell you anything? Typical libs , change the name of the same animal and say it's different just to win.
How can anyone take Sarah Quiter Palin seriously? She should not even be given the platform to weigh in on anything. Just because she "wrote" a book (she didn't actually write it) she now thinks she can be up there in the forefront on the political stage. Well, Arnie is still the gov, he hasn't quit the job that the people gave him to do and he is working hard to bring California into the 21st century, while Palin is wanting to keep us in the dark ages forever.
I wish she'd just back to Alaska and stay there. By the way, nice hat. So, how did you like the Ewoks on Endor?
I'd say Schwarzenegger scored a direct hit.
Is she implying that environmental policies are the cause of our deficit? Wow.
Haha. that is a great comeback for Gore's gravity. Is it just me or is Palin getting better and better as the months roll by? Maybe the libs should start dissing her on her personal life instead of her policies. that way they might have a chance of winning.
OK now let's think, not "feel". We can not control the sun, we can not change ocean currents, we can not prevent a volcanic eruption, nor can we stop a a hurricane, a tornado, or even a gust of wind for that matter! One thing we can and WILL stop is socialism....let freedom ring! A tidal wave of common sense conservatism is coming in 2010 and 2012!
Sarah belongs to "The World is Flat" lineage of thinking. Much like the ultraconservative rebute of ozone depletion facts, she is trying to satiate the ultraconservatives and is a minion of corporate America. Wise men have the to ability to see what lies around the next corner. Sarah's inability to see past her own nose however will continue to weather away any remaining credibility she might enjoy.
Palin should be ignored. She'll say whatever gets her in the news to sell books and promote her career. No person could actually be as consistently poorly informed as she sounds.
This woman is always in conflict with something or someone. Then, when people question her on the real issues, she plays the victim of "liberal media". She's not going anywhere and might as well give it up. The day she runs for President people will look at our Government as one big joke.
You also quit your job.
Palin says she "was among the first governors to create a sub-cabinet to deal specifically with climate change." Typical Republican strategy. They waste money on creating departments that don't work– because they don't think government should do anything. What a waste of money.
It seems many people are missing the point entirely of the conference, Sarah. it is not about pointing fingers at human beings or any particular cause. It is about preparing ourselves for the inevitable, while at the same time being honest about our wasteful lifestyles. Developing countries have less impact than developed nations, yet they feel it the most. They are trying to find solutions to their problems. The conference is not all about blame, but about preparing ourselves for major changes, human caused or not.
A narrow world view will not get us anywhere. The economy that you keep referring will be in more peril in 50 years if we don't have frank and honest dialogue about it now. Without a healthy climate you might as well kiss your economy goodbye because the resources it depends on will be more scarce down the road and the very framework you are attempting to protect will be more vulnerable.
Looking at the bigger picture here is like looking into a crystal ball, it shows you the future......
Haley Barbour and Eric Cantor were asked recently if they believe that Sarah Palin has the experience to be President of the United States, neither one would answer the question.....
In fact, their Non-Answer is really their True Answer, anyone with a clear conscience and reasonable intelligence, can say without a doubt this woman is in no way qualified to President of anything, let alone of the United States of America......
People that have Presidential qualitys, do not argue and bicker with anyone and everyone that critcizes them, this woman even bickers with Comedians and TV personalitys, she's extremely childish in the way she deals with criticism....
Her supporters have to be as shallow as she is to support such an embarrassing person like Sarah Palin, all she really cares about is seeking and getting Attention.....!
Why these public officials continue to respond to the comments and allegations of private citizens is still beyond me. If you like her or not, Palin is still a private citizen and should not warrant all this attention.
Sarah Palin continues to prove why she is not capable to even entertain the idea of running for President. She is ill informed on most if not ALL subjects. Besides, she have to take a pay cut as President. I continue to blame John McCain for foisting her on the american public! One day I hope to hear him apologize for choosing her as his running mate.
It is a good thing that just about everything that is done Palin is right there to say "I did that"..
Palin isn't doing the commenting. The postings are in full comprehensible sentences (even though the concepts behind them may be incomprehensible). She should debate people (all of them) LIVE, just her, with no ghost writers nor posters. We'd then see how her synapses "work." Why is she commenting anyway? Hey, CNN, I'm smart and I have opinions - interview me!
Wow, a debate between Arnold and Palin. Who could possibly moderate such a clash of intellectual titans?
I wonder if Larry the Cable Guy is available?
Of course Palin left HER state running perfectly when SHE QUIT as governor....right.
Arnold got it right...why would someone quit their political job, then go around bashing all the other politicians unless they DO have a hidden agenda?? Then when Palin gets attacked, she resorts to 'Bible' retorts (i.e. 'geener than thou???') thinking it gives her credibility.
Finally...."doomsday scenarios"?? Palin is the one who 'invented' the death panel misinformation in her hysterical effort to deride health care reform and deny millions of Americans access to the care they deserve!
Evidently having nothing to do all day except push her book and twitter away has given Ms. Palin some false smug sense of superiority.
how much longer can we bear her ignorance? Really! How does she get away with it?
Amen Sister Sarah.
People like her will never learn the easy way. Unfortunately its our children and their children will pay the price. Lets not focus on people like her. Its like talking to a wall. Lets look at all the facts and do what is needed and do our part.
Why does the press keep giving this woman the time of the day. Really? There is nothing better to report on?
Like Palin or not, I see nothing wrong with her comments. They are accurate. California IS in serious trouble and their legislature did everything they could to put them there.
"Climate change is like gravity – a naturally occurring phenomenon that existed long before, and will exist long after, any governmental attempts to affect it." Stupefying in its lack of grasp of science and reality. I have another one for you: "Self serving hack politicians with egos as large as Denali are a naturally occurring phenomenon that existed long before, and will exist long after, education and personal ethics attempt to affect it." By the way, super hat darlin'.
Go Sarah, or should I say Going Rogue. Great Book. Sarah is simply toying with Arnie who is still upset his wife was texting while driving. In the meantime, the White House is trying to run a country while uninvited guests, it is reported, have free access to the White House. Seems the CNN reporting is lopsided, but who cares.
I have to believe that Senator McCain wishes that he had never picked up that empty bottle, rubbed it and released this Geni. This woman is a complete nutcase. I thought Rush Limbaugh was a flake, he now sounds like a rocket scientist compared to Sarah. Will someone out there please put her back into that bottle.
Sarah's a scientist! She understands the historical background of climate change! It has nothing do with human activity!
She's absolutely clueless. I can't wait until she's president. God help us all then. Just what we need– the dumb leading the dumber.
Sarah... do you really think the governor of California is going to worry about criticism from an unemployed, professional Facebook user?
Ms Pailin may live in a state that does experience melting of the ice buy is Alaska burdened by a large population? Has Alaska experienced industrialization to the same extent as California? Ms Palin can only think in linear and not dimensionally. Has she seen the LA basin so smoggy from sulfer dioxide emmissions that her eyes burn and its hard to breath? Do they, in Alaska, have major traffic jams 20 out of 24 hours? They have a bridge to nowhere but do they have hundreds of bridges crisscrossing all over the state to move traffic?
Alaska has not and never will experience the same impacts that California has. Ms Palin, STFU and go back to your backyard and watch Russia, you can be our first line of defense against an invasion!!!
What was Palin's sub-cabinets findings or stance on global warming? Did she quit before they were able to investigate anything. Anyone can =say they did something, but you actually have to point to the real accomplishments.
I still have very large doubts about her abilities and accomplishments. She was governor of one of the smallest states, population wise. The state budget was fully funded by oil and gas revenues from the states trust fund. She also had one of the smallest prison systems in the nation when she was casting judgement on Romney.
She has never had to answer the hard questions that governors from larger states have had to answer, tax revenue shortfalls, diverse population (75% caucasian, 18% Inuit/native american). And my personal favorite. If it takes you 5 different universities to get your degree, I'm not putting you at the top of my list. No matter what.
I may not have supported Arnold for Governor, but I'll take his opinion over that of Looney Toons Palin any day of the week. Geez, does this moron ever shut up? She's an embarrassment to Alaska, women, and the United States.
Two things:
1. Palin didn't write this
2. Didn't she quit the job her ghost writer is bragging about here? Her idiotic opinions matter why?
Oh, and yes, I'm scared to death of Sarah Palin blahblahblah.
Just more of a common sense approach, especially since the leaked e-mail scandal. While I like Arnold, I think he got slapped down pretty good on this one. One question, why are the warmers trying to suppress and deny dissenting scientists views? As for Al Gore, after his speech at Copenhagen how can anyone in the world take him seriously? If you "follow the money," it goes directly into Gore's greedy pockets.
Arnold shouldn't get too excited. After all, it's Sarah Palin and no one expects her comments to reflect any depth.
Arnold has 50 cars, several mansions and a bigger "carbon footprint" then even al gore does, but he wants all of us little people to live like serfs. People like him, the kennedys, pelosi, gore, kerry, edwards, make me sick. Limosuine liberals and RINO republicans are exactly what has caused us to lose our financial status in the world, and Sarah Palin is EXACTLY what America needs to get us back to where we once were.
Boy, Republicans–don't you want her as your nominee? Look how well she gets along with everybody!
She questions whether climate change is being caused by man. She is using political scheming and rhetoric to attack people and defend herself, but notice that she isn't using science. That's because there is no science that proves her point. All the deniers do is find a few elements they disagree with of the overall science, but they really don't have a more plausible alternate theory that stands up to scrutiny. Why does she get any attention from the media? What justifies her celebrity at this point?
Lets see, former body builder, actor and now governor vs college graduate, certified school teacher, various real working jobs, various elected positions, ex governor of Alaska, gee, tough choice, now if she had only been a community organizer only she could be president.
I wonder how much stock Arnold has in Al's company.
What a coward this woman truly is. She refuses to validate ANY of her comments and simply hide behind Facebook posts like a teenager. At least Schwarzenegger stands before the people and reporters when he makes his comments and takes questions to back up his statements.
This woman did nothing for Alaska except clear the way for more oil exploration and drilling. The oil companies design the economic outlines for Alaska and then tell the Governor how it's gonna go down.
I honestly think the "right" believes she is their "Savior" LOL
If there were more Repubs like Arnold, then the party would not have lost the respect of the country. Blowtorches like Palin, Limbaugh and Beck have thrown the party of Lincoln back hundreds of years, which may be where they want to be... flat earth.... earth is center of the universe... church in charge of government.....
BTW.... Arnold is right on about Sarah; she chases the camera and is interested in nothing more than making money. I guess Levi was right about that part. She has nothing substantive to offer about climate issues, energy policy, foreign policy or financial policy. But I bet she's fun to have a beer with....
Hmmm...chicken little. Guess she can only reply on her facebook page instead of a legimitate comment. Figures...
Just make her go away. She is unabashedly divisive for, it appears, no other reason than her own promotion. She sure is loose with spreading misinformation. It's sad, really, that someone who could harness her "popularity" to do some good chooses not to.
Why don't we just put gloves on both of them and let them duke it out? Then we could put it on ABC as another "reality" show, and have a replacement for "Dancing with the Stars."
It would be a fair fight. Arnold's athletic build is more than compensated by his advanced age and time behind a desk.
If Palin does not believe in climate change, why did she form a sub-cabinet position on the subject (if in fact she actually did do that).
"Climate change is like gravity – a naturally occurring phenomenon that existed long before, and will exist long after, any governmental attempts to affect it."
Very well said. The sun burns hotter at times, that's all. Man has nothing to do with it. If you want to work on pollution, fine. Just don't tell me the sky is falling and Al Gore is the only one who can save us.
Only democrats think they can control the sun.
The rest of the 49 states should get oil kickbacks. Alaskans are subsidized by big oil companies. We already know Palin is waist deep in oil.
I support and rejoice in healthy debate.....though the psuedo intellect of SP kill me sometimes......The fact that we can't point to the last 200 years of awesome innovation, but unprecedented pollution due to her belief that we can't primarily blame man's activities for climate change, is an insult to facts in plain view......I'm a christian, who believes God is in control of all.....however in my beliefs it is also a fact that man was left to be stewards, and caretakers of the earth.......so yes it is man's job to keep the earth as descent as possible.
Everywhere this woman goes she creates animosity. Can you imagine what kind of bipartisanship would be created with her influence? I mean, I would think that she would at least try to get along with Schwarzenegger, who is a fellow republican. I think he nailed it when he indicated that her number one priority is achieving the nomination. Alaska was left to flap in the wind so she could pursue her "priorities". Scary woman.
How does the former governor of Alaska know that the climate change is just nature doing its thing? She couldn't even answer a simple question like "what do you read".
This from an elected official who didn't have the back bone to complete the term she was elected to fill. Reason MONEY, MONEY.
I'm sure 'Pain'lin knows all she knows of climate change from sitting on her front porch and watching what's happening across in the Soviet Union. As long as Alaska was making money from the Oil Boys she was very happy to let them do what they wanted.
This backwoods bimbo should go back to her front porch and stay there.
She sure does look good in that hat doesn't she? It's always nice to see a woman who's not afraid to just lay it all out there, and look good doing it. Way to go Sarah!
am i the only one disgusted by everything this women says.
Sarah Palin can write?
What exactly IS Palin trying to accomplish by being OPPOSED to to something like global warming prevention measures?Are you kidding me? Is this all republicans can think of? Just take the opposite stance on EVEY issue just for argument sake? This woman clearly is still the moron we've all grown to know and love... even the "Gover-nator" calls her out on her nonsense.
Sarah Palin is not a scientist or an expert on climate change in a stretch of the imagination. The media needs to stop giving her unfounded and unscientific beliefs equal weight when compared to the research of the world's experts. Just because her opinions are popular with a small segment of the population does not make her an expert. CNN has lowered itself to sensational celebrity reporting at the level of the National Enquirer.
Failin Palin is awful good at Facebook comments. Think she could run the country that way? LOL!!!
Palin you keep talking about "when I was governor"? Do you remember how you resigned that post? The only people who resign from an elected office are people are one's who have something to hide or avoid or scum like you who really don't care about serving the public if there is an opportunity to get rich (book tour?).
At least Arnold is trying to resolve tough problems. You are typical Republican filth. Deny what is good to the many as long as Big Business continues to profit.
I pray you run in 2012 as a 3rd party candidate. Then we can thank you the way Republicans thanked Nader in 2000.
Palin is a joke.
Mrs Palin always seems to be able to come back with a good response whenever someone criricizes her motives.. She "sounds" like she has done a wonderful job when responding to critics..Which of course we can easily check on her statements.. Oh That's right ,that's how we discovered other "spins" of hers in the past... I find it odd she responds on Facebook which I use, while the Gov. spoke in public.. But that's right, Mrs Palin gave up that privilegde when she "quit" her job as Gov.. It just seems to me she hides behind certain avenues.. She always comes out smelly like a rose
From Anchorage Daily News – -
Link: The Washington Post Post columnist Eugene Robinson revisits Sarah Palin's creation of a climate-change subcabinet while she was governor of Alaska: "Palin mentioned having created the climate change unit in an op-ed she wrote last week for The Post. What she didn't acknowledge was the contrast between what she says about climate change now and what she said - and did - about it as governor of our most at-risk state. When she was in office, Palin treated the issue as serious, complex and worthy of urgent attention. Now that she's the iconic leader of a populist movement that reacts with anger at the slightest whiff of pointy-headed, 'one world' intellectualism, she writes as if the idea of seeking ways to mitigate climate change is a crock."
Arnie was correct in questioning her. The blatently dismissive and pandering comments she made needed to be called out. She is not interested in any kind of climate control since that is "voodoo" to the red meat base that worships her
I apologize if this is very rude.
Arnold had to deal with California's issues dead on. He had to deal with a $30 Billion USD Deficit, and he had to deal with many disasters that plauge the state, economically, and naturally. Palin, in her own state, was her own disaster in the making.
Palin needs to shut her mouth, as she is the very essence that is ruining the GOP. Arnold, however, is the one person BENEFITING the GOP, he doesn't complain at all about what the President is doing, and he is working his tail off. Palin couldn't do any of that, and Palin has no right to talk since she quit her position.
This is precisely why Schwarzenegger shouldn't have said anything about Palin. She just uses comments like his to attract more attention to herself, which is all she's really interested in doing. Same with Al Gore. Neither of these guys should make public remarks about Palin, even if they're right. The people who support Palin don't care about facts. They don't care that this response from Palin is a classic example of her two-faced, self-contradictory stances on many public issues. She doesn't think the activities of humans has caused global warming, but she brags that she set up a "sub-cabinet" to deal with it. If it's not caused by human activity, what was her plan? And, if it was that important to her, why did she quit her job 18 months early? The woman is a vacuous idiot. My guess is that she has never spoken to a single credible scientist about global warming, yet she talks as though she is an expert on the subject. The definition of stupidity is not knowing your limitations.
She's so funny. If climate change is like gravity, then why would you need to create a sub-cabinet position to deal with it. Did she also have a sub-cabinet position for the Sun's rotation around the Earth?
No offense to Palin supporters, but can't you see her for the huckster she is?
Arnold's just jelous that he can't run for President
Climate change has been happening since time began. Whether man affects it is debatable, but why? Why not do the right thing for our habitat? I like the expression"think global act local". Pick-up trash in your yard then go help your neighbor with his. This exercise may do us all some good.
My goodness Palin picks a fight with a different person everyday. She is a media hog. CNN give us a break. I really think this woman needs to be medicated.
Interesting that Palin refers to "when talking to reporters" and yet CNN continues to broadcast her Facebook rants which may or may not be written by her and never demands she talk to them. Lousy journalism once again.
Palin is always hiding behind the facebook page because she's not smart enough to make a non-scripted public comment.
Honestly, who does she think she is? Firing at anyone whom she doesn't like?
Sarah Palin is not a politician anymore.who cares what she says?Her giving her political opinion is no different than one be given by your local gas station attendant.Thats what happens when you quit your position and abandon your state.
I love Sarah Palin. She is living proof of the virtues of America – that even the stupid can reap success with hard work and determination.
I agree with Palin. Certainly, we can do more to clean and protect the environment, I don't think anyone really disagrees with this concept. But to claim humans are the root cause runs contrary to science and history. When I was a child in th 1970s, so-called experts predicted a coming mini ice age. Heck, the past 10 years have actually evidenced a decrease in temperatures.
Palin is impressive. Her scientific background, driven by her political views, is very accurate. I'm glad that she is there to educate the rest of us who listen to actual scientists. I always thought that industrial pollution and combined emissions were bad for the environment, but I guess it's ok because one of the greatest scientific minds of our time seems to think it's ok. I mean it's not like she has anything to gain by helping Big Business out by letting them pollute us, right? hello?
I'd like Palin to site results/benefits of her Sub-Cabinet, does she know?, not that she created another government entity that may not have been needed.
Her stance on climate change seems based on a lack of understanding.
It's called climate change now because so many things are happening that need to be brought into the fold of concern. Man's impact is not just Global Warming, it is also the massive area of trash floating in the middle of the Pacific that is growing rapidly Or, the dead zone of water in the Gulf that forms each year that is thousands of square miles that continues to grow, and how about the fact that we can't eat too much fish because of all the Mercury that is a result of pollution man has dumped into the oceans. How about the de-forestation or over-fishing to the point some species of fish we rely on are threatened.
Even if she is right and man is not the predominate climate change catalyst how about we address what we are responsible for because it's pretty bad. And, if she is wrong and we continue to not address the issue we're all, future generations too, going to lose.
We can live in harmony with planet, we are smart enough and advanced enough, so stop making excuses just because your backyard looks fine or you are benefiting from the state of imbalance we are currently capitalizing on.
Bottom-line on Palin for me is that she has a historical and repeated lack of understanding/knowing the facts, crashes under pressure, blames others, and quits.
Drill Drill Drill baby. And Alaska will become a giant mud hole as the snow will be melting faster that the oil we will burn from her impressive global warming initiative. What you say, she doesn't have one? But let's all boycott the international meeting that is trying to put these issues on the table so that we can start to mend the damage we are causing. This woman becomes more moronic at each opportunity she has to think. That's it Sarah, just stop thinking and we would all respect you a little more.
What did Arnold do with his gas guzzling Hummer? Cap and tax is a bad idea, raise utility bills out of the park, destroy jobs.........all for another Obama experiment that is totally unproven. Just ask the scientists in the middle of Climategate.
Sure, she's a fascinating (not in a good way...) character and I wouldn't care if she got her own talk show or even sitcom on Fox.
But I will never take her seriously as a politician.
Neither of them have leadership qualities. Arnold has run California into a ditch just like Bush did to America. Palin is intellectually challenged and a quitter. The only thing she has going for her is she's not bad looking and she's a good sheepherder.
Palin – A good example of the "Separation of Church & State". Some people believe in the separation of church and _________. Whether the blank contains a politically motivated separation (i.e. "State") or a physical separation (i.e. "Religious convictions should not influence a persons decisions") doesn't matter. "Church" or "Religion" is nothing better than a club if we, the people, are expected to separate our "Religious Convictions" from the things we do in life; personal or political. What Mrs. Palin is really saying is this; 'Since God created this world and His prophets predicted current events (i.e. The decline of earth, middle east conflict, etc.), what's the point of fighting a losing battle at the expense of the people and jobs?' Palin is a good example of how ridiculous it is to expect us to separate religious convictions from our political decisions. If that were possible, then our religion is worthless; nothing more than a "club affiliation" – no matter what the religion! Palin is using Wisdom behind her decisions. So far, all the 'Separation of Church and State' laws have done nothing more than harm free will and progress. The former USSR vs. the USA in the 1900's is proof that good ideas don't come from one who is restrained where a nation of freedom prospers. People are so blind.
Maybe the "news" media will get on this story now. Climate change is a sham. The people that push it are due to make millions each, including the sham artist Gore. Until the media starts reporting actual news instead of spinning an agenda they will have as much credibility as the Nobel Prize organization after their last 3 nominations. Keep up the "good" work guys.
Some of the comments made by this woman are laughable.I have to wonder who is she really that stupid ?
The "Quitter in Chief" or Lightweight Sarah is heading for a knockout when 'mixing it up' with Arnie! I hope he knocks her lights out, and anticipate he will!!!!
She is such a loudmouth liar, has no credibility and no political platform to speak from other than the platforms on her shoes..... She is inconsequential and irrelevant!
Gov. S should shut up and try to get his state back on track before he makes Michican look like a gold mine. California is a perfect example of what happens when a government is allowed to over regulate. Sarah is no genius but she has a point on this topic.
hey Palin, why don't you find a real job ? you gave up the governorship so quit acting as if you were still a governor. pathetic
Palin: Climate policies caused California's budget crisis! (Um OK – 'ya sure?)
Alaska's highways are buckling from melting 'permafrost' (oxymoron) while Sarah shouts 'Boycott Copenhagen!' The fossil fuel PAC does great in Alaska! 'Insightful Sarah' (another Alaska oxymoron...)
Go Palin! The terminator is now finished by the Palin!!!
Palin 1 Al Gore 0
Palin 2 Arnold 0
Gosh Sarah, if 100 years of industrial CO2 emissions isn't responsible for contributing to climate change, then what the hell do you think you could possibly accomplish with a "sub-cabinet" devoted to climate change? This is like saying that pre-marital sex does not cause pregnancy, but forming a committee to promote abstinence and condom use.
I have to go with the Govenator on this one. He took over a state in crisis, and has filled-out Davis’s term and was reelected and is now term limited out. Palin took over a state that was booming and then when it got hard she cut and ran.
I think that Arnold just asked a tough question, and Sarah didn't have any answer so she attacked the messenger. I don’t think pointing fingers, and dodging questions is what the American People want or need. They need to get back to work, and they need to policy that is both environmentally and economically friendly, and they want someone who will take responsibility and make it happen. They want leaders that will not quit on them because they don't want to be a lame duck.
I think she is the international expert on Global warming as she lives where it is cold, can see Russian snow from her window, and wants to boycott the international conference on Global Warming. I guess she wasn't invited. Sarah, time to shut up, go back to Alaska, and stop becoming a non-entity pseudo celebrity.
Why does Sarah feel the need to rebut EVERY single thing that anybody says about her? If you ever want to be taken seriously then stop issuing a response to every little issue that comes your way. Let you words and actions speak.
Honestly, who cares what is on Sarah Palin's facebook?
Unless Ms Palin has some sort of credentials of which I am unaware, she is not qualified to comment on global warming any more than Governor Schwarzenegger. On the other hand, Governor Schwarzenegger has helmed the world's 6th largest economy for the past 6 years and done an adequate job considering the challenges facing him. More people live in one corner of Los Angeles than live in the entire state of Alaska. Ms Palin as ever has a dose of colossal gall and and equal amount of ignorance to address something of which she has not even the remotest understanding or experience.
Palin remind us why you stop being the Gov of Alaska? why you let all those folks down? Why did you call it NO MAS before your term came to an end.
Sarah we dont trust you.. You can't finish what you started yet you had time to pocked 7 Million from your book? Sounds that all you wanted was fame at any cost. How about "The Moose Hunting Palin Household Reality Show."
Nobody in the USA can't see your name next to Washington, Abe Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Eisenhower, JFK, Reagan, Clinton... Palin????
I like Sarah's Mao Tse Tung hat. Very fashionable, very becoming.
Go rogue, baby!
What Palin seems to be ignoring is whether climate change is manmade or natural is irrelevant. We're the first generation capable of potentially mitigating, or at the very least reducing, its effects. So the chicken or the egg question really isn't what things like the Copenhagen summit are supposed to address – it's how do we deal with the situation, whether we caused it or not?
Gravity is not a naturally occurring phenomenon.
A natural phenomenon is a non-artificial event in the physical sense, and therefore not produced by humans, although it may affect humans (e.g. bacteria, aging, natural disasters, death.) Common examples of natural phenomena include volcanic eruptions, weather, and decay. Most natural phenomena, such as rain, are relatively harmless so far as humans are concerned.
There are various types of natural phenomena, which include (and are not limited to), Meteorlogical phenomena, weather, including hurricanes, thunderstorms and tornadoes, and geological phenomena , including volcanic activity and earthquakes.
Here comes the Sarah bashing.
Fact is, Cap and Trade does not "clean up the enviroment." Cap and Trade is a TAX that will make electricity, home heating, and gas MORE EXPENSIVE TO USE.
Arnold gets the science and attempts to put that science to work to rein in human contamination of the planet - Palin doesn't even understand the science, quits every elected job she's ever had and asks witch doctors to mumble spells over her for personal safety. Now, who do you think we should be listening to on this subject? The elected official of the largest state who listens closely to the what the best minds in the country have to say and hangs in there when the going gets tough? Or little Sarah from Wasilla who's knowledge of science doesn't go beyond the third grade and bales from office when the kitchen gets a little too hot? DUH!
Because of her faith in the Creator, Sarah Palin will always love the planet, as it is only one of God's best gifts to us. She understands bad
science when she sees it. Some of these 'green' people, are believers in the 'big bang' theory. Talk about bad science.
Look at your fingerprint and tell me, how that uniqueness that is you,
got 'banged' into existence.
We should all do our part to take care of this great country. But the
'greener' the leftists get.... the less we listen to their JUNK SCIENCE.
Green and Dumb as dirt.
I can only hope that the nut cases in the Republican Party nominate Sarah Palin for president in 2012. It will be a total cake walk for President Obama. Can you imagine a debate where in Palin recalls being able to see Russia from her front porch and comparing that to the real life achievements of a sitting President? Keep talking Sarah; the entire world is listening to your inane babbling.
oh sarah, sarah, sarah......keep on tryin' to get that press time......
no matter how................
ya know, ......... she thinks she is all that.................
ya, bettcha........
when do we tell her she is not?
nah...........let her keep on diggin' that ole'hole................................
ya know that ole' rouge thing...................................
Maybe we'll also recall that when Mrs. Palin couldn't "take the heat", she quit. Quitters shouldn't criticize doers.
Who does one believe? 80,000 scientists or Sarah Palin? Years of documented research or some e-mails Fox got hold of? Sen. Inhofe or the global community?
One does get a little tired of the lack of truth from the party of hate.
How is it that a beauty queen that went to five colleges to complete a bachelors degree in journalism, quit her job as governor of a remote state with the lowest population density in the US, knows how emissions and air particulates effects the health and economy of the largest, most densely populated state better than their own governor?
To say this chick is whacked is a disservice to those that are really whacked.
I have no use for the policies of Sarah Palin ..... except this one. I too believe that Global warming exists but do not feel it is the result of mans activities but rather a continuing natural phenomenon from the previous ice age. The Cap and Trade legislation would have a very negative impact on our financial recovery and will have very little impact on our carbon impact. Please study Germany and the results of their Cap and Trade before assuming its benefits. My opinion is that CLEAN COAL Plants are the answer to our polution problem.
Arnold is a hypocrite. Anybody who drives a humongous SUV by himself have no business asking people do sacrifice one for the environment. And there are sure many now in Copenhagen that fit this mold.
Obviously, Palin is looking to stay in public view so she can make a run at the Republican nomination (fat chance of winning an election I would think) after walking out on her last job (doesn't look good on a resume). Problem is she's making herself look foolish on a number of issues but to make yourself look uneducated, especially regarding climate change and its readily verifiable consequences which we can see NOW, just seems counter-productive to her goal.
Who in their right mind could vote for her to be the most powerful person in the world. GOOD GOD!!! But.....look who somehow got to the White House for 8 years and couldn't put 2 sentences together without screwing it up...to say nothing of the economy, the military, etc. etc. I 'd love to see some of those "now found" e-mails.
wow. palin is such an idiot. i like how she only fights from her facebook, and won't actually debate anyone with any scientific facts or actual knowledge concerning climate change. being an idiot from alaska does not automatically make you an expert on climate change. this is my favorite part: "While I and all Alaskans witness the impacts of changes in weather patterns firsthand..." does she think that only people who live in alaske witness the impacts of weather patterns, while the rest of us in the contiguous states do not? i hope she keeps talking her way out of relevancy.
Mrs. Palin is a Christian who believes that we are living in the Last Days, and this makes her environmental views very anti-conservation since we need not go to the trouble to avoid polluting the Earth when The Earth and its people will not be here all that long anyway.
I am not a Christian, and i suspect that those who act like we are living in the Last Days may actuall help make something like this a reality.
I worry.
W.
Does this woman even know what she's talking about when she speaks? It's like someone gave her a bag of words and she just rearranges them into different sentences. Health care, jobs, unemployment, spending, wrong, Obama...what an idiot.
It's easy to figure out why Palin is against Arnold's green policies: Like Bush she's from a big oil state.
I think America is hopefully fed up with BIG OIL and the snake-oil politicians that are linked to it.
I can't believe that I'm responding to another one of CNN's Palin moments, but this woman knows less about climate change than my dog. Arnold is right when he says that you have to take what she says with a grain of salt.
Her Facebook comments are meaningless.
Yep, Arnolds state is a fiscal mess and the global warming scheme has been derailed thanks to Climate-Gate. It's amazing that Sarah says exactly what the majority of people in this country think with regards to the global warming.
Keep hammering 'em Sarah!
We all could have gotten rich if we all voted that Sara Palin was going to hit back at Schwarzenegger on her Face Books. She is so childish. Sara Palin at less Schwarzenegger isn't a quitter like you even though he is a lame duck status like you said your were and the reason why you quit your governor job. He still have one up on your QUITTER!
Why does the press continue to follow this woman and report on her? Enough already!!!!
Yes, Sarah Palin Strikes Back, this is just the sort of entertainment i was hoping for. And even though Sarah's response didn't really have any substance to the current arguement, it's good to know that she is reminding people that she used to be a Governor. Anyone remember what happened to that gig?
Personally, i think the fact that Governor Schwarzenegger didn't quit on his state, despite the fiscal crisis, speaks highly of his sense of duty and responsibility to the state of California. It's a shame the same can't be said about the half-term Governor Sarah Palin.
"Is she really interested in this subject or is she interested in her career and in winning the (Republican presidential) nomination? You have to take all these things with a grain of salt."
I think the CA Gov is wrong about one thing, I think she is more interested in making money than winning the Republican Nomination in 2012. Arnold can you terminate er? LOL!
Tuesday night. "Perhaps he will recall that I live in our nation's only Arctic state and that I was among the first governors to create a sub-cabinet to deal specifically with climate change."
Sara Palin all this is irrelavent know that your quit in the middle of all your so called projects you started.
I remember not long ago Sara was saying "death panels". Now she is accusing someone else of "doomsday scenarios"?
Palin puts all Democrats AND Ahhnold to shame with her smart GREEN politices.
Should we put the two in a runoff?
But Sarah knocks the socks off of everyone with her conservation and GREEN Smart policies. She also was the boldest after creating the sub cabinet in increasing her energy from renewable energy by 50 percent by 2020. No other Governor or Democrat can claim that.
Yes, Arnie's hurting and he's trying to build his cred. But Sarah is showing how you can be smart and green at the same time. and increase opportunities, not take them away.
Go Sarah!
as i've always said, if you deny evolution and think the earth is just a few thousand years old, you dont get to have a scientific opinion on anything. you shouldnt have ever been a governor, and in fact you shouldnt have even graduated high school.
Is there anyone else left for her to disagree with? She is a little lightning rod of controversy. It seems foolish to believe that billions of human inhabitants burning wood, coal and gas, and cutting down rainforests aren't somehow affecting the planet and its climate in some way. Even the least scientific mind should appreciate the footprint that we leave behind. Who wants to admit to the human toll we take on the planet while ignoring the overpopulation of the planet. We have countries that are grossly overpopulated, and no one in those countries is talking about it academically at a policy level in the government. Sarah seems so far removed from me here in Houston, Texas where it snowed last week. Was that a blip in the weather or a naturally occurring thing? Most lifelong Houstonians couldn't believe what they were seeing.
Let'em duke it out! My money is on Sarah. She's been breathing cleaner air.
Is Palin for REAL? She states that she was "first governors to create a sub-cabinet to deal specifically with climate change" ????!!
Palin IS a conservative, right? Aren't ALL conservatives against Climate Change?
This is weird. So she is claiming to be greener than Arnold? Strange.
AND...she can see Russia from her house.
Why does she consistently think that her living location has any bearing on issues presented by top officials or scientists? This only decreases her reputation and potential of becoming a high level polititian again.
Firstly she stated her proximatey to Russia gives her the edge with foreign policy....
Secondly she stated her proximatey to cold climate allows her to understand climate issues more accurately then the top scientists of the world....
These are bogus claims and she makes herself look bad consisently...
While I and all Alaskans witness the impacts of changes in weather patterns firsthand, I have repeatedly said that we can't primarily blame man's activities for those changes," she wrote. "And while I did look for practical responses to those changes, what I didn't do was hamstring Alaska's job creators with burdensome regulations so that I could act 'greener than thou' when talking to reporters."
Do this nutty woman every make any sense when she speaks.
