Sarah Palin: “Global Warming” Is More Like a Snow Job

*
Sarah Palin, in an op-ed posted early Friday morning Texas Time on her Facebook Notes page, blasted the Obama administration for clinging to discredited environmentalist guns and anthropogenic global warming religion:
"Global Warming" – More Like a Snow Job

Over the last few months, and even again today, very unsettling revelations have come to light about the “settled science” of man-made global warming. With all of these shoes dropping you’d think every member of the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) would be barefoot by now.

One thing after another keeps popping up to further discredit the theory of man-made global warming. The IPCC’s supposedly definitive report proving the theory is riddled with serious errors. The organization has been publicly chastised by everyone from its former chair to the heads of the UK’s biggest funder of climate research and Greenpeace UK. One of the world’s top climate change scientists, Prof. Phil Jones, has conceded that there’s been no significant warming since 1995; that the medieval period may have been warmer than today; and that he’s had trouble even keeping track of raw data crucial to the global warming theory. Yet President Obama still seeks to create a federal office for global warming, and they’re still talking about mandating their cap-and-tax plan that's based on discredited data.

The Obama administration’s environmental extremism also shows up in its aversion to oil and gas development. A true all-of-the-above approach to energy would mean allowing oil and gas explorers to drill here and drill now because America has the proven reserves needed to meet our energy challenges. A new industry study reveals that the federal government's current restrictions on oil and gas drilling in Alaska and off the U.S. coastline will cost us $2.36 trillion through 2029. Think of the millions of U.S. jobs we could create, and how much more secure America would be, if we had a true free market approach to energy independence that allowed us to finally drill!

And though I applaud the President’s newly declared interest in nuclear power, it should be noted that he’s merely following through on loan guarantees authorized during the prior administration. What’s more, while the White House now touts the building of new nuclear power plants, its budget inexplicably calls for cutting funding to the proposed nuclear waste repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada. A real nuclear energy plan requires a strategy for dealing with nuclear waste storage and recycling.

The man-made global warming hysteria isn’t based on sound science, and the Obama administration’s energy policy isn’t based on sound economics. If the climategate revelations teach us anything, it’s that we need to cool down the rhetoric and fire up our common sense.

  2. I think there just might be a tie in between the East Coast elites (Will, Broks, Noonan, Parker, etc), Hollywood elites, GOP "leadership", and a multitude of other Palin enemies, could it be that they are all heavily invested in Green Technology, and they see Palin as a huge threat to their investment portfolio? We know for a fact almost everyone has bought into the Global Warming hoax, Gingrich, Pawlenty, McCain all come to mind.

    You might say that Palin has become a female version of Heracles, and she is attempting to slay the Hydra (Global Warming, animal rights fanaticism, feminism, the "mainstream" media, East Coast elites, West Coast elites, bloated government, 0bama and the GOP.

    There is no other politician who has taken on as many grasping, selfish, power hungry, monsters, as she has. Can she succeed in slaying the monster? In the end Heracles did slay the Hydra, but even he required some help. If Palin wants to really slay the Hydra that has taken control of the US, she is going to need some help.
