I’m obviously no longer a big fan of Sarah Palin, but she does make some good points now and then, designed to drive liberals nuts
(HuffPo) Sarah Palin is once again brushing off global warming as “junk science,” comparing (that’s the link to her video) warnings about the threat of climate change to the eugenics movement of the early 20th century.
Last week, the former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate recorded a video for the Sarah Palin Channel dismissing the “con job” of man-made climate change.
“I’m not a denier. I don’t doubt that climate change exists,” Palin says in the video. “No one has proven that these changes are caused by anything done by human beings via greenhouse gases. There’s no convincing scientific evidence for man-made climate change. The climate has always been changing.”
She continues: “Climate change is to this century what eugenics was to the last century. It’s hysteria and a lot of it’s junk science. And when it’s as discredited as eugenics, you know a lot of people are going to look very foolish and heartless.”
It’s an interesting comparison to the eugenics push by Leftists, which has never really went away. “Climate change” is very much about pushing junk science to make political points. Here in North Carolina, Democrats used the eugenics push to sterilize mostly women, and mostly minority (meaning Black) women during the 20th Century. Palin notes in the video
“In the meantime, don’t buy into the global warming con simply because it’s hip with celebrities and limousine liberals who consume more fuel and emit more emissions bee-bopping around in their private jets and multiple mansions than the rest of us ever will,” she wrote in the Facebook post. “We could have more respect for these folks if they behaved in their private lives as if global warming really is as catastrophic as they publicly claim it is.”
The comments at Talking Points Memo were less than charitable, and if Republicans were writing stuff like that about a Democrat woman, there would be a huge kerfuffle, #WarOnWomen. And, obviously, lots of Progressive sites are slamming her, but here’s the best
That’s from Ring Of Fire, a hardcore Progressive website for radio and videos, which features hyper-Warmist (and massive climahypocrite) Robert F Kennedy, Jr. And we can see the way these hardcores think, calling people who do not believe the same way “criminals”. Yes, Progressives really do want to criminalize thought.

The hosts of The Young Turks mocked former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) on Tuesday for her attempt to dismiss climate change as “bad science†like the eugenics scares of the 20th century.
“All you can really do is look at her and laugh at her and make fun of her,†Ana Kasparian said. “But in reality, there’s a serious point to take away from all this: it’s assholes like the Koch brothers, it’s morons like Sarah Palin and all the other Republicans that deny climate change that’s literally gonna lead to the destruction of this planet.â€
Literally!
