Are politicians who run for public office lacking in common sense or somehow more dense in the cerebral region than most persons? Sometimes it certainly seems that way. Take the case of the global-warming issue, or what politicos now call climate change, as if the term takes away the steam of the issue.
Sad to say, both presidential candidates, Barack Obama and John McCain, as well as both Washington State gubernatorial candidates, Christine Gregoire and Dino Rossi, have stated, in varying degrees, that global warming (or climate change) is a menace we on earth have to reckon with and spend billions or trillions to combat.
Rossi once considered the global-warming theory to be a hoax, but he has veered over to it as climate change, probably because of the heat put upon him in the political arena — as well as the fact that the Seattle newspapers and other newspapers in the state have backed the global-warming hoax and refused to interview any of the scientists who have refuted the hoax.
The lone standout who has refused to go along with the global warmers is the Republican vice presidential candidate, Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska, who has said clearly and steadfastly that there is no threat to the planet from global warming, that occasional warming of the stratosphere has come and gone for centuries, and that, for certain, humankind is not responsible for whatever warming has occurred.
To me, that indicates that Governor Palin is the most intelligence person running for office this year. Wish we had more like her. I would urge Rossi to listen to her and revert to his onetime position of disbelief in the global warming malarkey — and to seek out the intelligent, reliable opinion of reputable climatologists.
