Death Spiral Watch

A friend emails:

Um, did Sarah Palin just write a whole editorial about cap and trade and not mention global warming once?

Yes!  Yes she did!  And the Washington Post printed it!  The Republican death spiral, the Washington Post death spiral, and the Sarah Palin death spiral continue apace.

Sarah!

My favorite line:

>> But the answer doesn't lie in making energy scarcer and more expensive!

Does anyone think Ben Bradlee would allow !!!! in an op-ed?

Those exclamation marks were

Those exclamation marks were added to make it appear that she actually wrote it. Kind of clever, actually.

Why do you hate Sarah Palin's children?

I mean, only someone who hates her children and is attacking her children would write something like this. Won't someone think of the children?

Parents should be

Parents should be responsible for their children! I don't know but parents today seems not to think the welfare of their children! Like Sarah, Steve McNair didn't consider his children when he indulge himself to a relationship with Sahel Kazemi. Having a romantic relationship is not bad but if you have a wife and four children, then it would be a crime! It's adultery right? In the aftermath of tragedy, a lot of people like to pick up on details, like what is going to happen to Steve McNair's sons. There are four of Steve McNair's sons, Steve Jr., Steven, Tyler and Trenton. Steve McNair Jr. is a heavily recruited high school prospect. Although speculation about family affairs of families that are not our own, there are still heavy internet searches for Sahel Kazemi pictures and a Michelle McNair picture or Mechelle McNair picture, depending on what spelling you use, and some people are putting personal loans into coverage of the incident. There's no crystal ball you can buy, even with installment loans that will reveal the future of Steve McNair's sons.

Global warming and consequent climate change

EB wrote: "I thought it was 'climate change' now, not 'global warming'."

Global warming and climate change refer to two distinct things.

Anthropogenic emissions of CO2 and other heat-trapping gases cause the atmosphere to retain more of the Sun's energy, and as a result, the Earth system heats up. This is "global warming".

The anthropogenic heating of the Earth system, i.e. global warming, causes changes to large-scale weather patterns, the hydrological cycle, the cryosphere, etc. This is "climate change".

CO2 emissions cause global warming. Global warming causes climate change.

It's so simple, even a Ditto-Head can understand it. Maybe even Sarah Palin can understand it.

leave the car running in the garage

Gov. Palin should park her SUV in the garage, stay in it, leave the motor running and close the garage door to demonstrate how burning fossil fuels and increasing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere does not harm human life.

Ah, it wouldn't be a new day

Ah, it wouldn't be a new day in MoJo Land without a nother Sarah Palin piece. She really does scare/infuriate liberals. Like garlic to a vampire.

Um, did Kevin just write a whole post about how global warming is going to destroy the Amazon and not mention whether or not the Amazon is actually warming once?

Mario

Even better...

Congress recently wrote an entire Cap & Trade bill that didn't bother to deal with global warming. Seems like this particular disease is affecting everyone.

Obama's most recent speech

Obama's most recent speech on the bill didn't mention global warming either - he's spinning it as a jobs bill.

Obama death spiral watch?

Julia Grey
