Palin op-ed bashing Copenhagen summit has critics steaming
-----------
THE WASHINGTON POST - Copenhagen's political science by Sarah Palin: With the publication of damaging e-mails from a climate research center in Britain, the radical environmental movement appears to face a tipping point. The revelation of appalling actions by so-called climate change experts allows the American public to finally understand the concerns so many of us have articulated on this issue. . . .
The e-mails reveal that leading climate "experts" deliberately destroyed records, manipulated data to "hide the decline" in global temperatures, and tried to silence their critics by preventing them from publishing in peer-reviewed journals. What's more, the documents show that there was no real consensus even within the CRU crowd. Some scientists had strong doubts about the accuracy of estimates of temperatures from centuries ago, estimates used to back claims that more recent temperatures are rising at an alarming rate.
This scandal obviously calls into question the proposals being pushed in Copenhagen. I've always believed that policy should be based on sound science, not politics. As governor of Alaska, I took a stand against politicized science when I sued the federal government over its decision to list the polar bear as an endangered species despite the fact that the polar bear population had more than doubled. I got clobbered for my actions by radical environmentalists nationwide, but I stood by my view that adding a healthy species to the endangered list under the guise of "climate change impacts" was an abuse of the Endangered Species Act. . . .
Our representatives in Copenhagen should remember that good environmental policymaking is about weighing real-world costs and benefits -- not pursuing a political agenda. That's not to say I deny the reality of some changes in climate -- far from it. I saw the impact of changing weather patterns firsthand while serving as governor of our only Arctic state. . . .
In fact, we're not the only nation whose people are questioning climate change schemes. In the European Union, energy prices skyrocketed after it began a cap-and-tax program. Meanwhile, Australia's Parliament recently defeated a cap-and-tax bill. Surely other nations will follow suit, particularly as the climate e-mail scandal continues to unfold. . . .
In his inaugural address, President Obama declared his intention to "restore science to its rightful place." But instead of staying home from Copenhagen and sending a message that the United States will not be a party to fraudulent scientific practices, the president has upped the ante. He plans to fly in at the climax of the conference in hopes of sealing a "deal." Whatever deal he gets, it will be no deal for the American people. What Obama really hopes to bring home from Copenhagen is more pressure to pass the Democrats' cap-and-tax proposal. This is a political move. The last thing America needs is misguided legislation that will raise taxes and cost jobs -- particularly when the push for such legislation rests on agenda-driven science.
Without trustworthy science and with so much at stake, Americans should be wary about what comes out of this politicized conference. The president should boycott Copenhagen.

Good for her, and well said.
The left has used the "Rules for Radicals" rule to isolate and redicule Sarah Palin so extensively, one might surmise a deep and justifiable fear of this woman...
Aside from an intellect gained through experience, Sarah Palin has something they will never achieve, common sense...
Global Warming!-IS- Human/ Industrial Waste!
The best indisputable SCIENCE example that should be the #1 item on the Copenhagen Agenda would be the toxic waste dump, the size of Texas, 900 miles off of the United States and Canadian West Coast.

This is a Big SCIENCE problem with no dedicated U.S SCIENCE and INNOVATION DEPARTMENT to address the issue. The U.S (or Canada) has not even sent out a SCIENCE research vessel to evaluate this ecological disaster; neither country wants to take the responsibility for the industrial/human pollution or even acknowledge its existence.
No Profit-No Action!-No SCIENCE! Will the World Trade Organization and the New Industrial World Order address the issue? Where is their World Department of SCIENCE?
Can the problem be solved with SCIENCE? Probably so, Americans are very ingenious primarily because we were raised with the compliments of Freedom and Democracy and are free thinking individuals. We could probably figure a way to clean up the mess and possibly make a profit doing so.
We can do nothing until we have a DEPARTMENT OF SCIENCE that is free to address SCIENCE and to develop the advancement of SCIENCE. (Yes, for the sake of humanity; SCIENCE FIRST.)
Go Sarah !!!!!
Go Sara, tell it like it is. They would not be so upset if you weren't telling the truth.
Rock On Sarah!
ha ha, didn't we learn not too long ago that global warming has been proven wrong due to something that was with held from the public in like the 80's?? I didst click the link, so I don't know whether it was brought up on this or not.
If her critics are mad then she's obviously saying the right things!
I think she is right on follow the money
Gees, I didn't see anything wrong with what she said! Cripes, they's bash her if she said the grass was green.
Anything Sarah Palin says or does is open game. People who actually love Al Gore, the most phony, money-grubbing, airhead on the planet, are the same people who dislike Sarah Palin, one of the most down-to-earth, honest, level-headed, clear-thinking personalities in decades.
In fact, I think if we could just surgically remove Al Gore's mouth we'd probably reduce enough gaseous emissions to satisfy all the whackos in Copenhagen.
You hit the nail on the head with that statement Kim!!!!
He is a wacho. I am from Tennessee and his whole family has always been known to be wacky. He just keeps proving Tennesseans to be right.
What's in it for who? Of course , the critics will be waiting.
And Tennessee was smart enough to not vote for him in 2000. - They knew him too well!
Your correct... his home state didn't want him. That should have spoke volumes to the rest of the world.
Go get em sister!
awesome
Funny how that goes Kim, losers lack onto losers, bite the bottom of their pant leg and never let go.
World Record Cold Spell in Copenhagen and I saw Igor on TV today actually claiming the Polar Ice Caps would be completely gone in ten years. Can one say Nut Job?
Other countries see how much Gore made from his lies on global warming and they just want a piece of the action. Go! Sister Sarah Palin! Tell the truth. Thank God for you!
