#2 ...most notably for her denial that humans are causing climate change.

Stupid, brain-dead, scientific-illiterate journalist. As one of hundreds, if not thousands of individuals in atmospheric science who are at a minimum, skeptical of a dominant anthropogenic mode to climate change...I am incensed by these idiots.

#3 A few simple control tests cover these issues. First, if it's a classic MSM outlet, assume all assertions are reversed - insert or delete "not" whenever applicable. Second, any reference to "climate" and or "global warming/cooling/change" should be changed to "weather".

Basically, it makes it one big argument about the weather - if the democrats think that's a winner, more power to them. Elections are self-correcting mechanisms, and weather is a constant topic subject to adjustment, only rarely by humans. Complaining about it is one thing, doing something is another, and having any effect is yet a third.

#4 Please oh please frame this election as part of a "green" vs "affordable energy" argument.

I guarantee who will win.

#5 It seems this year's Farmer's Almanac says global cooling is the concern for this winter and the years following.

#6 She tarnishes his environmental luster and puts a beautiful shine on the energy side of things.

I hope man made global warming comes up in the VP debates and she can ask Biden how he can explain that fact that Mars got warm at the same time. Let everyone watching get that tid-bit of data as she rams it down Biden's throat because coincidence doesn't really cut it when we're talking about screwing our economy beyond all recognition to solve a problem that may not even be caused by that.

#7 Yep, Mars got warmer and so did Jupiter.

Man made global warming is nothing more than a thinly veiled power grab.

#8 And an attempt to rescue socialism. Never forget that.

#9 If McCain will call man made global warming a crock and state there will be no carbon taxes or cap and trade scheme he will wrap this election up.

#10 You don't have to be a PhD. in Physics or Weather to realize that less than 1/3 of 1% of the "greenhouse gasses" produced each year are human made and have negligible impact on the climate.
