Former Alaska Governor and US Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin signs copies of her book "Going Rogue" at Legacy Books in Plano, Texas December 4, 2009. The event, one of several on her nationwide publicity tour, sold out of all 1,000 copies of the book. Some fans came from as far away as Houston and Oklahoma. UPI/Ian Halperin.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4 (UPI) -- Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has used her Facebook page to call on President Obama to boycott the upcoming climate conference in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Palin posted her thoughts Thursday in an item headlined "Mr. President: Boycott Copenhagen; Investigate Your Climate Change "Experts." She said Obama should rethink his decision to go to Copenhagen following the "Climategate scandal."
Opponents of the theory that human activity is causing global warming have seized on thousands of e-mails retrieved by a hacker from the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia in Britain, arguing they show scientific dishonesty.
"The leaked e-mails involved in Climategate expose the unscientific behavior of leading climate scientists who deliberately destroyed records to block information requests, manipulated data to "hide the decline" in global temperatures, and conspired to silence the critics of man-made global warming," she said. "I support Senator James Inhofe's call for a full investigation into this scandal. Because it involves many of the same personalities and entities behind the Copenhagen conference, Climategate calls into question many of the proposals being pushed there, including anything that would lead to a cap and tax plan."
The scientists involved, including leading U.S. climatologists, say the e-mails have been taken out of context.
Great idea and also great to hear her use the term “leaked emails”. This crap about “hacking” is BS, this was a package of information put together by someone who knew how damning the content was. A whistle-blower, not a hacker.
And where is Mitt, in all of this? Crist? Pawlenty? McCain...?
“The scientists involved, including leading U.S. climatologists, say the e-mails have been taken out of context.”
The missing data was taken out of context to I suppose.
