She has something in common with faux journalist Steve Colbert. Not only is the Alaska governor a climate change denier ("not manmade"--interview with Newsmax.com) but she also objected to listing the polar bear on the endangered species list, a step reluctantly taken by the Regime in the face of indisputable evidence that the rapidly shrinking polar ice cap is impacting ursus maritimus. In fact, according the Anchorage Daily News she misrepresented the findings of her own state biologists supporting the findings in nine studies used by the feds to justify the "threatened" listing. An e mail of October 9, 2007 released pursuant to a public information request by an U. of Alaska biologist shows that state biologists were at odds with the Palin administration over protecting the bear. Palin invoked her state's "comprehensive review" of the federal findings to argue publicly that listing polar bears as threatened was not justified by the available science. The official Alaska disputations are mostly about the accuracy of computer models predicting the future extect of sea ice. Gov. Palin said on Wednesday Alaska will sue Secretary of Interior Kempthorn over his decision. The biologist who obtained the e-mail, Rick Steiner, spent five months trying to release information about the state's decision making on the issue, suspecting state biologists were overruled by political considerations. He told the press,"Even the petroleum-loving Bush administration couldn't find a way around the science on this issue. "This perpetual denial of environmental harm posture is what gives Alaska a very bad image nationally and globally." I won't argue with you, professor. Not only is Sarah Palin unprepared to be President of the United States, she is willing to ignore or twist scientific opinion when it suits her extreme views. Seems we have already had enough of that kind of governing.[photo: Sow and cubs rest on ice pack in the Beaufort Sea.
