The League of Conservation Voters has launched an online campaign that highlights the rampant denial of settled climate science among many Republican Senate candidates running as challengers or in open seat races this election cycle. Check out the video featuring Sarah Palin as the host of "Tea Time with Sarah Palin":

The video is part of a new website, www.flatearth.tv, which provides more information on the extreme views of these and other Republican Senate candidates.

The November elections are just six weeks away. If candidates like these are allowed to replace climate champions in November, we will feel more than just the loss of a few elected officials. We will lose out on a clean energy future that creates jobs, increases our national security and protects the planet for future generations.

More projection by the Democrats. Funny. I've been calling Climate Change/Global Warming alarmists "flat-earthers" for years now...

Gene, how do you reach "stupid America"? How can you connect with people who prefer not to think on their own and feel safer absorbing corporate propaganda, religious propaganda and right wing political propaganda?

Many like her and those support HEr do not read on a regular basis for enlightenment or entertainment.
Like her they just rely on their "GUT" feelings about things and that is how most of their decisions are made. Most times, its just indigestion!

"Climatologists are pessimistic that political leaders will take any positive action to compensate for the climatic change, or even to allay its effects. They concede that some of the more spectacular solutions proposed, such as melting the arctic ice cap by covering it with black soot or diverting arctic rivers, might create problems far greater than those they solve. But the scientists see few signs that government leaders anywhere are even prepared to take the simple measures of stockpiling food or of introducing the variables of climatic uncertainty into economic projections of future food supplies. The longer the planners delay, the more difficult will they find it to cope with climatic change once the results become grim reality."

It seems that one of the characteristics of Sarah Palin's "real America" is total scientific illiteracy.
