Sarah Palin to Rush Limbaugh: ‘Are we warming or are we cooling?’

Yesterday, former Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK) reminded hate radio host Rush Limbaugh that she doesn’t believe in man-made global warming. Palin, on a nationwide tour to promote her new book, Going Rogue, questioned the “snake oil science involved” and complained about the “shady science right now.” Palin said that she thinks any changes are “in a lot of respects, cyclical”:

It’s kind of tough to figure out with the shady science right now, what are we supposed to be doing right now with our climate. Are we warming or are we cooling? I don’t think Americans are even told anymore if it’s global warming or just climate change. And I don’t attribute all the changes to man’s activities. I think that this is, in a lot of respects, cyclical and the earth does cool and it warms.

1. I don't believe Palin is as stupid as she pretends to be, she's taking this moronic stance

because she believes it will garner her the Republican nomination and mega bucks from the fossil fuel industry.

Although, she's certainly not brilliant, intelligent, smart, competent, aware, astute or too cognizant, her corruption exceeds her stupidity.

Thanks for the thread, kpete.

2. It's obvious that she has not read any science books or magazines.

Of course she does not read anything. That is why she is so ignorant.

3. Learnin' stuff is hard work! Ignorance is free and immediate

So rather than educate herself, Mrs. Palin asks eminent scientist Rush Limbaugh. Just plain nuts.

4. Her father is a science teacher

I can't believe he hasn't told her she's spouting nonscense...
