Palin and Global warming.

I have had a hard time watching the debate tonight.  The Vice-presidental debate is a way to see how the person, that could become president, thinks.

It disturbs me watching Palin.  I used to live in the state where she is Governor.  I went to University of Alaska Anchorage, and got a great education.  But that is my history, so I should get to the point.

How can this woman say global warming is not caused by man.  A study by the University of Alaska Fairbanks has proven that the permafrost, a layer of ice under the tundra, has been melting; with this melting bacteria have been released creating more CO2 increasing the global warming problem.  

The permafrost could not be melting without the initial burning of CO2 producing fossil fuels.  She lives in the state currently doing these studies.  

How can she not know or read about what is happening?  How could she be so dismissive?

The only answer I can think of is that since she benefits from having fossil fuels burned.  She has ignored the obvious.  It is not lucrative to think global warming is caused by man. 

I stopped watching, Biden was doing a great job.  I will write more tomorrow.
