In a remarkable 13 days, Vice Presidential nominee Governor Sarah Palin has educated herself on anthropogenic climate change:
“I’m not an Al Gore, doom-and-gloom environmentalist blaming the changes in our climate on human activity, but I’m not going to put my head in the sand and pretend there aren’t changes.” (12/4/2007)
“A changing environment will affect Alaska more than any other state, because of our location. I’m not one though who would attribute it to being man-made.” (8/29/2008)
“That’s why I’m attributing some of man’s activities to potentially causing some of the changes in the climate right now… Show me where I have ever said that there’s absolute proof that nothing that man has ever conducted or engaged in has had any effect or no effect on climate change. I have not said that.” (9/11/2008)
Now that’s change I can believe in.
And after another 13 days, and another 13 days, and another 13 days, her views on climate change may change again and again.
If she and McCain get elected, they’ll have 4 years’ worth of 13-days to “change” to their hearts’ content.
Change — is — coming!
