Gore rebuts Palin's climate claims

A former vice president and a former vice presidential nominee are
engaged in a public battle over climate change, a tiff sparked by
Sarah Palin's op-ed in Wednesday's Washington Post and furthered by Al
Gore's rebuttal on MSNBC.

In a piece titled "Copenhagen's Political Science," the former Alaska
governor charged that "leading climate 'experts'" have "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."

Gore bit back during an interview with NBC's Andrea Mitchell to air
Wednesday afternoon. The former presidential candidate said "the
deniers are persisting in an era of unreality. The entire North Polar
ice cap is disappearing before our eyes ... what do they think is
happening?"

Palin was referring to correspondence between some of the world's
leading climate scientists. The e-mails were recently stolen from
Britain's University of East Anglia and leaked on the Internet.

Skeptics of man-made global warming say the e-mails prove that
scientists have been conspiring to hide evidence about climate
change.

Last week, the chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change, Rajendra Pachauri, said the issue raised by the e-mails was
serious and would be looked at in detail. Palin also took to Facebook
to allege that concerns over global warming are "doomsday scare
tactics pushed by an environmental priesthood."

Gore said Wednesday that the scientific community has worked
intensively on the issue for twenty years. "It's a principle in
physics," he told Mitchell. "It's like gravity, it exists."


Palin said she's personally witnessed "the impact of changing weather
patterns." But she said that "while we recognize the occurrence of
these natural, cyclical environmental trends, we can't say with
assurance that man's activities cause weather changes."

"This scandal obviously calls into question the proposals being pushed
in Copenhagen," added Palin in The Washington Post. "Our
representatives in Copenhagen should remember that good environmental
policymaking is about weighing real-world costs and benefits — not
pursuing a political agenda."

She added that, in light of the e-mail controversy, President Barack
Obama should boycott the upcoming climate change conference in
Denmark. "Without trustworthy science and with so much at stake,
Americans should be wary about what comes out of this politicized
conference," said Palin.


Gore attributed the partisan divide over climate change to the
leadership of the modern Republican party, which he feels has adopted
a stronger stance on denying global warming.

Gore emphasized that climate change should be a bipartisan issue. "It
used to be," he said.

He cited Lindsey Graham as one example of a Republican leader who
accepts the science.

NBC's Andrea Mitchell and Michelle Perry contributed to this report.

Kinda like Cecil the Seasick Sea Serpent engaging dialectic with Mr.
Peabody's boy Sherman.

Gore, "There is a manbearpig!"
Palin, "True Americans believe in America!"
H. Ross Perot, "...giant sucking sound..."

Gore, "I took the initiative in creating the Internet."
Palin, "Our next door neighbors are foreign countries."
Larry Craig, "I take a wide stance..."

Gore, "In my plan, the 'lock-box' would be used only for Social
Security and Medicare."
Palin, "I once read a newspaper!"
Joe Lieberman, "Our core values of freedom and opportunity are
ascendant around the globe."

Remind me, which one denies GW altogether? That naughty librarian
should know better. She's completely embarrased herself way too many
times to count. Even McCain thinks she's an idiot now.
