Palin Vs. Gore: Oceans Apart
Governor Palin's recent op-ed in the Washington Post caused significant panic among the purveyors of the man-made global warming scam. We covered this extensively last week here and here. Today, Investor's Business Daily, in an editorial, takes another look at the one-sided "debate" between Governor Palin and the hopelessly outclassed Al Gore:
The Alaska governor who knew polar bears weren't endangered says the planet isn't either and challenges the oracle of climate change. Al Gore says despite the CRU e-mails, the situation is of the utmost gravity.
In a Dec. 9 Washington Post op-ed, Sarah Palin noted that the Climate-gate e-mails from the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia "reveal that leading climate 'experts' deliberately destroyed records, manipulated data to 'hide the decline' in global temperatures and tried to silence their critics from publishing in peer-reviewed journals."
This did not sit well with Gore. "The entire North Polar ice cap is disappearing before our eyes," he said on MSNBC. "What do they think is happening?" He added: "That is a principle in physics. It's not a question of debate. It's like gravity; it exists."
Palin, called a "denier" by Gore, says she denies nothing, responding on Facebook: "Climate change is like gravity — a naturally occurring phenomenon that existed long before, and will exist long after, any governmental attempts to affect it. It is man-caused global warming and Gore's doomsday scenarios that (are) at issue."
So fact-challenged is Gore on the subject that when he criticized Palin's position on global warming, he claimed: "I haven't read all the e-mails, but the most recent one is more than 10 years old. These private exchanges between these scientists do not in any way cause any question about the scientific consensus." Oh, yes they do, Al, and the word is "conspiracy," not "consensus."
As Anthony Watts' Web site Watts Up With That shows, one Climate-gate e-mail was from just two months ago. The most recent was sent on Nov. 12 — just a month ago. East Anglia Climate Research Unit director Phil Jones' infamous e-mail urging other Climate-gate scientists to delete e-mails is from last year.

I loved Sarah's line of the Laura Ingraham show: "I don't think he (Gore ) would want to lower himself to debate little old Sarah Palin from Wasilla."
This off-the-cuff comment cuts deep and is exactly how the heartland sees elitists like Gore and how the disdain with which folks like Gore view or treat them.
Only an average person like Sarah Palin would understand it.
BOR said last night that 51 or 52 percent don't believe in global warming according to a new poll, and only 38 percent are believers. So much for the lefts belief that Gov. Palin's op/ed will hurt her with independent voters.

Once again Governor Palin's political instincts far outmatch any of her opponents or detractors. She knew before she agreed to pen that Op-Ed in the Washington Post that the majority of Americans do not believe what AlGore and his group are trying to sell us. Therefore, win, win for her.
She writes the article and the best they can come up with is that she is a DENIER?? Oh....the pain she must feel from getting called that one.
Well, on to the next Facebook or Op-Ed to make them all blue in the face.

The former Republican vice presidential candidate will address the Sierra Cascade Logging Conference. Tickets for her first speech scheduled for February 8th at 7pm, sold out in days.

The fact that critics and crazies call Sarah a "denier" show that they all have very poor reading comprehension skills, did not read her op-ed, or just completely diregarded what she wrote. Governor Palin could say that the sky is blue, and she would criticized for not accounting for cloudy days.
As Margaret Thatcher said, "if my critics saw me walking on the Thames, they would say it was because I can't swim".
Gov. Palin walks the walk.
IBD continues to impress. They are a media outlet who actually tries to tout common sense. Thus, they understand Sarah Palin. This is a great and on point article.
Al Gore is caught playing fast and loose with the facts...again...

Common sense is imperative if you wanna make a buck. Honestly, that is.
He's not answering many more questions nowadays either!
