Palin's opinions on climate change are irrelevant. She has only been
put on the ticket so that the Republicans can play the race card. See
video clip here -

Her opinions on global warming are mild copmpared with those of the
people behind her.
- Oklahoma Sen. James Inhofe, the senior Republican on the
- Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, in a blog
- entry this month criticized 152 House members for releasing
- a set of principles to tackle global warming in the midst
- of the economic turmoil.
-
- "The current economic crisis only reinforces the public's
- wariness about any climate bill that attempts to increase
- the costs of energy and jeopardizes jobs," Inhofe said.
-
- Rep. Joe Barton, R-Texas, took the argument a step further
- when he said the Boucher-Dingell bill could lead the country
- "off the economic cliff."

It concludes:
- The upside is that in hard economic times, and with high
- energy prices, the amount of pollution in the air tends to
- decline.
-
- That will slow global warming somewhat, but there are
- already enough heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere
- to cause the temperature to rise.
-
- "I really wish that the science of global warming would
- look at the newspaper, and say we have an economic crisis
- so the Earth will stop warming," said Dave Hamilton,
- director of the Sierra Club's global warming and energy
- program. "But that is not going to happen."
The point is that to solve global warming we have to cut
back on growth "But that is not going to happen."
Waur doomed.
Cheers, Alastair.
