Energy Expert’ Palin Can’t Name Any Man-Made Causes Of Global Warming

Watch it:

Seeing that conservatives are touting Palin as an “energy expert,” and McCain has said that she “knows more about energy than probably anyone else” in the country, Palin could have — at the very least — cited increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Of course, there is an overwhelming scientific consensus that global warming is made-made and that the main contributing factor is the burning of fossil fuels.

In fact, not only has Palin encouraged energy policies that focus on increased fossil fuel consumption, but the AP reported this week that “aced with choosing between development and the environment” as governor of Alaska, she “has sided more often than not with business interests”:

She started a committee to address global warming. But with oil companies contributing the largest percentage of the state’s greenhouse gases, her committee set no goal for reducing emissions. Unlike other states, Alaska’s climate change priority is focused on ways to adapt to warmer temperatures.

Regardless, Palin’s cluelessness on global warming is perhaps what led Sen. Joe Biden (D-DE) to observe that “(if) you don’t understand what the cause is, it’s virtually impossible to come up with a solution.”

So the RNC spent $150K on clothes for Palin to audition for a job that only exists in her mind. She clearly isn't qualified for the (real or imaginary) position.

1. Wouldn't an honest christian give God all credit for global warming?

or deny it altogether or blame Bill Clinton?

2. her inability to come up with simple answers under pressure is just SAD

I honestly think most sentient Americans over the age of eight could come up with "carbon dioxide" in, literally, their sleep.

4. Yes, I love Biden's retort to

palin's willful ignorance.
