Sarah Palin on Global Warming and International Skeptics Day - Jason Alexander--thedailygreen.com
Skeptics are everywhere, and we remembered them on October 13, International Skeptics Day. If you're not certain who they are, take a mindful look around: they're easily identifiable as the folks who doubt truth and accepted theory. They just won't see or accept what's "a given," what's believed by the majority of the people based on scientific scrutiny. When I'm asking questions, I'm curious, and when I'm questioning, I'm skeptical. But when I refuse to separate fact from fiction, that makes me just plain-old blind to reality.

Take for example Governor and Vice Presidential (shoot me now!) candidate Sarah Palin. Perhaps the Tooth Fairy, The Easter Bunny and maybe even Doubting Thomas himself told her that climate change and global warming aren't caused by human behavior and that a changing environment could never have been man-made. We can all fail to recognize the reality of global warming much like Palin thinks that drilling in the Alaskan Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is swell for birds, fish and wildlife. But until we all place our own hands into the proverbial wounds of the world, we'll all continue to doubt our own personal responsibilities.
