Sarah Palin Denounces Climate Talks as Example of “Arrogance of Man”

According to former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, climate talks are simply evidence of the “arrogance of man.” It is expected that next week Palin will announce her campaign to dismantle all dams, re-irrigation programs, and forest fire suppression programs in part of her “de-arrogancing of man.”

This signature tweet from Palin came on Saturday. Here is what she wrote:

Copenhgen=arrogance of man2think we can change nature’s ways.MUST b good stewards of God’s earth,but arrogant&naive2say man overpwers nature

Earth saw clmate chnge4 ions;will cont 2 c chnges.R duty2responsbly devlop resorces4humankind/not pollute&destroy;but cant alter naturl chng

I am glad that someone has the courage to fight efforts to deal with weather changes. I am personally appalled by the widespread us of clothes. It is clear from the Bible that God never intended us to have clothes in the first place.

.”

6 When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. 7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.

8 Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the LORD God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the LORD God among the trees of the garden. 9 But the LORD God called to the man, “Where are you?”

10 He answered, “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.”

11 And he said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?”

12 The man said, “The woman you put here with me—she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”

13 Then the LORD God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?”
The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”

14 So the LORD God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this,
“Cursed are you above all the livestock
and all the wild animals!
You will crawl on your belly
and you will eat dust
all the days of your life.

Everything I see people wearing clothing or umbrellas to protect them from nature, I share Palin’s disgust.

  1. Takoma,

    I’m not a big fan of Safari or IE, but the solution I gave should work from any browser unless a security configuration is blocking you copying anything with tags on it. I ran into that some time ago because I run various browsers with various levels of security. But that issue I couldn’t help you with without touching the machine.

    Here is an instructional video.

  2. Takoma, if it’s a you tube video, double click it so it takes you to you tube, then copy/paste the URL from the address bar.

    You can only post a single video per comment for it to show the video and you only have so many characters you can write in the comment box when including a video with a comment.

  3. @ Buddah Is Laughing:
    I know about that; and yet, it doesn’t work when I try it here. Is it then a question of browser? I’ve been doing it with Firefox or Safari. Should I use IE instead? And thanks for the info.

    @ Bdman:
    Thanks for the link.

  6. Takoma,

    To embed video from YouTube or Hulu, they have an options to “Copy Embedded Code”. On YouTube, it’s to the right of the player, it has the regular URL and below it a box with the embedding code. Just select all the code instead of the plain URL, copy and paste. Works like a charm.

    Hulu has a similar function.

    As to images, I’ve never tried it as I don’t keep image libraries online, but I suspect sites like Flikr have a similar option.

    I hope that is helpful.

  7. I said yesterday that I love a good conspiracy so you can just put this down to that if you like.

    I think Palin was and is a tool of the corporate elites who run things in this country. She is used as a foil to keep people from paying real attention to one of their other tools, Obama. Sara doesn’t have any real power to negotiate climate amelioration. Obama does and he has done his usual sell out, sorry job.

    Instead of paying attention to that, the left wing gets to say how stupid Sara is. While I have no argument with the stupidity of her ideas, I worry that they are way too effective as smoke screens to hide Obama’s actions.

    Cheney is Obama’s foil in torture. Cheney is all for it. Obama says, he’s against it. We still torture and there aren’t prosecutions in sight.

  15. Maybe Sarah Palin needs to team up with Jesse Ventura in his new show “Conspiracy Theory” on “trutv.” He had one episode on Global Warming that was just plain goofy. I paste below the code of the trailer of that episode; but as I don’t know how to embed video on WordPress, I wonder whether it’d show:

  16. As if the unrelenting defiling of the earth’s atmosphere and denial of it’s obvious damaging effects ISN’T a demonstration of man’s arrogance?

    This is another example of a tried and true device used by conservatives to deflect attention away from their responsibility on an issue. The trick is to accuse your opponent of your own transgression and put them on the defensive. They did it time and again during the Bush years. Senate Republicans would accuse the Democrats of holding up legislation when it was they who were doing it. Conservative seem to have no moral compass at all. They are willing to say absolutely any outrageous thing, regardless of its veracity or inanity.

    I’m pissed at the Dems for their capitulation on several very important issues in the health care reform bill, but listening to the outright lies and bad policy ideas of conservatives simply disgust and nauseate me. They make the Dems look like true guardians of the democracy.

  17. Sarah Palin: “Earth saw clmate chnge4 ions;”

    Do you suppose she really meant to type ION???

    Sheesh! I wonder if her words of wisdom will live on for EONS!!!

  18. I see the climate trolls are out early today.

    Since grammar, sentence structure and logic are obviously not your strong points, I’m thinking you assessment of atmospheric science might be just about as worthless as that post is unreadable.

    1) SARAH. Learn to spell the name of your witless leader.

    2) You stand by someone’s stand? Thats outstanding! Buy a thesaurus. And no, it’s not a dinosaur.

    3) Pol or not? They see nature every day if they see at all. They are stupid, not blind. Just because they don’t understand it (much like you and “Sara”) doesn’t mean they don’t see it. “Apes read philosophy, Otto. They just don’t understand it.”

    4) I will take your words on arrogance and ignorance. I will take them as an illustration of said principles and as cautionary tale.

    5) Call back when you have a basic understanding of science and aren’t bedazzled by the sparkly object the Neocon GOP is dangling in front of your face like a cat toy.

  19. I wholly stand by Sara Pallin’s stand. This whole ‘climate change talk’ is the biggest hoax and broker talk played on this earth by the so called super power politicians who can never see the force of nature and life through their own eyes. It’s ‘arrogance and ignorance’ at the extreme extend indeed, as Sara aptly points out.

  20. One cannot live by brains alone. Or was her brain separated at birth? Was she born this way? Or did she do sufficient drugs to get in this state? If so, is the injury reversible? Did she have an accident where she suffered loss of oxygen to the brain? Or did she drink too much and get a case of hypothermia? Does she and Rush have the same doctor and lastly was she one of the mistresses of Tiger Woods? We know Tiger is a Cheetah. But is she of sufficient age to call a Cougar?

    I have an Enquiring Mind and I want to know…..
