Palin: Cause of Global Warming 'doesn't matter'
Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin said Tuesday that global warming is "real," but stressed that it "kind of doesn't matter" whether or not humans are to blame for climate change.

Human activity has "contributed to the issues that we're dealing with now with these impacts" on the earth's climate, Palin, who is Republican standardbearer John McCain's running mate, said in an interview aired Tuesday with CBS News' Katie Couric.

"I'm not going to solely blame all of man's activities on changes in climate because the world's weather patterns are cyclical, and over history we have seen changes there.

"But it kind of doesn't matter at this point in the debate what caused it. The point is it's real, we need do something about it."

How the hell do you do something about it, if you don't what the cause is?

1. Apparently it's a big enough step for a Republican to even admit there is a problem.

5. I wouldn't blame human activity on the climate either.
The reverse, however, is a different story.

8. "it doesn't matter at this point," "no time for finger pointing"
Republicans NEVER accept responsibility for ANYTHING, nor do they give a shit WHY something has happened, which is why the same shit happens over and over and over again.

:banghead:

9. Aren't those words for her script on the banking crash? It kinda doesn't
matter who did the sub-prime mess just so long as there is a 700 Billion bailout?

How many other topics will this script work on?

It kinda doesn't matter who started the Iraq war (Bush) so long as we win it now.
