ClimateGate: Sarah Palin attcks dodgy "fraudulent" science

With a hat-tip to James Delingpole, visitors might like to know that former US Vice-Presidential candidate Sarah Palin has written a heavy criticism of those at the centre of the ClimateGate scandal.

She writes: "Boycotting Copenhagen while this scandal is thoroughly investigated would send a strong message that the United States government will not be a party to fraudulent scientific practices".

We're sure Ed Miliband will find what he thinks is a suitable personal insult to hurl at her when he finds out what she's said. What label will he give her? Will she be a "denier"..? A "saboteur"..? Or something else?

How about her being a human being who is genuinely concerned about what she has learned? Don't a very large number of us globally fit into that category?

It is quite interesting looking at the responses of normal, man-on-the street - normal, everyday folk just like myself.

On the overwhelming majority of posts that this blogger has read on mainstream media news report comment sections, it seems that the public weren't buying the whole AGW apocalypse BEFORE ClimateGate - and are buying it even less now.

As politicians are meant to be our representatives, on whose behest do our politicians propose to go to Copenhagen and sign agreements that will send us reeling back into the dark ages? Especially in the light of what we now know of the content of ClimateGate emails.

Meanwhile, there are reports that the IPCC wants to investigate the ClimateGate scandal.

To my mind, that's a bit like asking someone to investigate their favourite, much-loved daughter while wearing rose-tinted specs.

I know I have said this before, but I will say it again and again and again:

I hope that Sarah Palin never goes away. No woman since Eleanor Roosevelt has done more for progressive politics in this country than she. Don'cha just love her? I sure do!

YOU GO, GIRL!

By the way, thank you for posting the Chaplin speech. He spoke to us then. He speaks to us still.

Forever... Diana

...genuine goodness is threatening to those at the opposite end of the moral spectrum.

"And when I look at people in public life... I'm not a political animal but I think the biggest disease this world suffers from in this day and age is the disease of people feeling unloved, and I know that I can give love - for a minute, for an hour, for a day, for a month, but I can give. I'm very happy to do that and I want to do that."
- Diana, Princess of Wales, 1996

"I think the British people need someone in public life to give affection, to make them feel important, to support them, to give them light in their dark tunnels. I see it as a possibly unique role, and yes, I've had difficulties, as everybody has witnessed over the years, but let's now use the knowledge I've gathered to help other people in distress."
- Diana, Princess of Wales, 1996

"Diana was the very essence of compassion, of duty, of style, of beauty. All over the world she was a symbol of selfless humanity, a standard-bearer for the rights of the truly downtrodden, a truly British girl who transcended nationality."
- Earl Spencer

"..she was our guardian, friend and protector. She never once allowed her unfaltering love for us to go unspoken or undemonstrated. She will always be remembered for her amazing public works. But behind the media glare, to us, just two loving children, she was quite simply the best mother in the world."
- Prince Harry

The People's Sovereignty

"...our membership of the European Union has removed our democracy; it has taken away the right of the British people to elect and dismiss those who make their laws. Our system of representative parliamentary democracy, for which millions have died over hundreds of years, has been frittered away. It no longer serves the people. That is why the time has come to give power back to the people. They deserve it anyway; it is their power and it belongs to them. Before long their anger will overflow if they do not get it back."

- Former UKIP leader Lord Pearson in the House of Lords, 5th February 2009

British resistance and liberty

"We British have in a very special way contributed to Europe. Over the centuries we have fought to prevent Europe from falling under the dominance of a single power. We have fought and we have died for her freedom. Only miles from here, in Belgium, lie the bodies of 120,000 British soldiers who died in the First World War.

Had it not been for that willingness to fight and to die, Europe would have been united long before now - but not in liberty, not in justice. It was British support to resistance movements throughout the last War that helped to keep alive the flame of liberty in so many countries until the day of liberation."

- Margaret Thatcher, Bruges, 1992
