Joe Barton on Sarah Palin urging Pres. Obama to boycott Copenhagen

[thorazini]

Matador, a group of 31,000 scientists signed a letter that said global warming is a hoax. But, obama insists that the 2,500 that believe in global warming are right. I think I will go with the greater number. Oh and one other thing, you use " climate change" rather than "global warming." Those that cannot prove global warming change it's name for convenience.

[thorazini]

Science works this way; A hypothysis is formed. Then a true scientist makes an attempt to prove it wrong. Pardon my spelling.

No one can prove that "global warming" is real. Also, no one can prove it is man-made. So "they" re-named it " climate change" hoping that "they" can inact laws that make rich men richer and tax those who believe this crap.

[jmneuville]

@thorazini -- yeah, just like you can't 'prove' Darwinian evolution, or that dinosaurs were wiped out by an asteroid. You just have a lot a lot of evidence that shows both theories are most likely true. Theories, by definition, are the synthesis of facts. It doesn't mean that a theory has to be proven to be true. Theories synthesize facts into a coherent narrative. And this theory so convincingly explains the corroborating data, that it is overwhelmingly accepted by the scientific world.

[dollibashi]

Enough with this silly ideas of "saving the earth".

You all are pawns in a handfull of people that either making billions(Al gore) or with people that have the agenda of seizing power.

These people are the old comunists that got defeated all over easern europe and like the TBC virus mutated themselves to adapt to 21 century.

[WildBill6942]

Sarah Palin is the Antichrist. Read Revelations.  She fits the mold to a T.

[Matador1984]

list how.

[ColtBarrettUSA]

The man speaks sense. We gain nothing by cutting ourselves off. However, we must be sure of what we're doing before we launch into a massive spending spree.

[TheVictorians]

we know global warming is real.

i saw it on tv.

[ibwilliamsi]

@TheVictorians We actually all get to make our own decisions regarding leadership, and global warming, as well.

Please explain to me why if Global Warming is real but not man-made, and if we can do something to slow or stop it we should not?

[dlwke2]

if "global warming" is not man-made, then why would you want to stop or alter something natural?

[ibwilliamsi]

Because I'd rather save the earth for my children and theirs and even yours. Why don't you answer?

[xschuesslerx]

I'm not a republican but I completely agree with Barton's statement here. I think going green can help our economy as well as our environment. Hopefully after COP15 Obama will realize that potential and implement some things on our side so we can capitalize on this movement.

[punchachristian1]

This whole palin business is equal to having a political debate in your high school history class with a cheerleader. Sure , cheerleaders know how to talk and shout, but are they honestly analyzing the words that are coming out of their mouths? I wish Mccain could just return her to where he found her, and restore meaningful and sincere political discussion.

[Matador1984]

Sarah Palin, I'm sure, is a nice lady. She loosley reminds me of women in my family living in Nebraska. However, she is not up on issues. Any person can say whatever they want. Sarah choosed to say unfactual things. The "death panels" referred to a part of the bill that said seniors wouldn't have to pay out of their pockets if they ellected to have certain counselling.  And the climate change leaked e-mails are the most grossly misrepresented peices of material to date.

[dlwke2]

Matador1984, you're just a deranged Obama worshipper who is pissed off that the whole country is turning against Obama's government health care takeover (which DOES have rationing, as Palin observed), and you are mad that the idea of "man-made climate change" has been exposed as nothing but a hoax. Deal with it.

[Matador1984]

dlwke2. I am not an Obama supporter.  I recently finished reading the health bill (have you?) Palin made comments prior to being able to read the bill, first of all. As a citizen I take offense to any leader that cannot perform the duties she was ellected to do. Beyond that, where in the bill does it state these things? and how is it different from 2003's bill? As for climate change, if you do not believe our pollution makes a difference on earth, please advertise your name to take credit.

[Matador1984]

I am often baffled by people that do not "believe" in the notion of climate change and our involvement. I admit, scientists could be wrong (by the way, there are not many scientists that disagree; real working scientists). i admit the chance. now you admit the chance that your "belief" is wrong. Whose wrong has the greater consequence? Now breathe deep and stop the opposing noise and lets take whatever steps we can to slow it.

[tomanyasses]

there is more global gases coming from ocean valcones in one day than all the co2 out of cars in one year in one day volcanoes put more global warming than all the cars in one year

[Matador1984]

And without the slash and burn technique of cultivating trees, perhaps the world would be fit to fight such natural cycles. or the plants destroyed in wetlands from our drudging. Do I need to go on? By the way, Do you think your car is good for the world? do you also understand the rate of population growth? the numbers are staggering! Progress is always thrwarted by those benefitting from the current. (i.e. pharma, oil, ins. co.,) check your lobyist numbers!

[tomanyasses]

you sound like a hippie same talk different decade

[whiteandnerdykid1]

How about we take over Atlantis?

[kangsan2014]

Im sure Sarah Palin is not poorly informed. I'm sure she is told the "right" information, but the problem doesn't lie in the information, but the way her incest brain processes it. She is told many things, but she can't articulate it in any sensible way.

The recessive gene is on the rampage.

[snorp73]

Sarah Palin has transcended the information over and over again. It's wash-ups who run around among the bases pretending they are smarter than she is because of what a few in the media have brainwashed them to believe.

Sarah Palin has a long history of promoting enviornmentally-friendly measures as Governor and as Chairman of the Alaska Oil and Gas Commission.

Trust me, she took on ExxonMobil, she's not afraid to take on you or Al Gore.

Get over yourself.

[jkfromcincty]

Could Palin be any more poorly informed? No, I think not.

[ferncaballero]

There are people out here that worship Al Gore that is far creepier than agreeing with Sarah Palin. I can't believe any person would take what Al Gore has to say seriously... he is a liar. He lies to line his own pockets with money and leave people like folks here stupider my the minute.

[ferncaballero]

Sarah is telling the truth about climate change and half of these morons who hate her have been eating the nasty lies from the Al Gore trough of ignorance. Al Gore is shoulf receive a Nobel Prize for his imbecility.

[justonefirefly1]

No you should win the idiot award with sarahpain

[lynchmobb2000]

@ferncaballero

You can hate Al Gore all you like but man-made global climate change is a fact. And it is a fact because the peer-reviewed scientific data says it is a fact.

97% of climatologists agree on the fact of man-made global climate change.

[tomanyasses]

wrong

[endturn]

i cant believe people are still talking about sarah palin's arguments about international efforts...

[azas1949]

Sarah Palin " the quitter ?" Thank God that Bimbo isn't in office. No one with an ounce of intelligence should pay attention to her.

[silvi01977]

Would your opinion have differed if she was mixed race and had a lovely speaking voice?! We didn't opt for the intellectual powerhouses instead.

[B3Ger]

Would my opion be different if she was mixed with a lovely speaking voice? Nope. No matter the skin color Sarah Palin is still a retard

[silvi01977]

With this kind of bulletproof debating technique you're obviously a liberal, have you been paying any attention to what's going on in Washington? Granted, King Click Click inherited a bad situation all round but he's managed to make just about everything worse.... continuing and escalating the wars, growing the deficit with lunatic spending, treating Islamic Terrorists like US nationals... and all with Einstein Biden as his number 2?!

[B3Ger]

Liberal?? Haha you must have pulled that one out of your ass. I, unlike you my friend consider everything in politics and the people dealing with it. Sarah Palin is a retard simply put. Just saying how I see it dearie :)

[silvi01977]

With that kind of rhetorical prowess you could have your own show on MSNBC. Yes, Virginia you are the smartest girl in the room.

[B3Ger]

Ugh a show? No thanks...and Virginia? Again stop pulling random things out of your ass. You can have your pretty little political show I'd actually get out of the US to risk my life to help people against the LRA up in northern Uganda

[tomanyasses]

liar

[whoo689]

Boycott an international climate treaty?? Ook... Why not just refuse to submit it to the Senate or whatever? At least try to make it palatable. Don't admit defeat and be like, "Can't change it! It's a crap treaty. Let's just stay away and not attend." That's the wuss thing to do.

[Snuilp]

A trillion dollar depth due to (ongoing) wars.. The most polluting country on this earth.. And now they wanna tax for a cleaner environment? Do they wanna sell shit for ice cream? I say: Never trust a polar bear killing bitch NOR the ones that support that! :P

[Sarastro42]

I do believe that China has overstepped the United States as the world's worst polluter. Mind you, that makes us number two but China's becoming a bigger problem than we are.

[ecwaufisxtreme]

Joe Barton is TRULY Sarah Palin's DICKLESS and BALLESS BITCH and PUSSY! Palin is a SUPERIOR politician and statesman than Barton could ever be. She is also MORE MAN than he is for Barton wears the skirt in his family while his wife wears the pants!

[Rosannasfriend]

oh dear, I thought it was only TYT you haunted...

[rickamabob13]

Thanks for the laugh, love these comical defenses of Sarah "Quitter" Palin.

[justonefirefly1]

You are right - the dike is more of a man than most closet sissy republicans. she/he has the balls to lie and lie and lie. she/he is stupider than a pile of shit and yet you right wing idiots think that sex is all that it takes. I want her/him to be tested like the athletes to see what sex she/he is/

[jx14aby]

justonefirefly,

lmfao!

Have her tested? Bahahahahahahaha!

[12301986]

You're fucked in the head, literally. You love to fuck Sarah Palin in the ass, bad santa, right? Just admit it.

[MrXstacey]

I can't believe I agree with something Sarah Palin said.
