Sarah Palin On The Environment: George Bush And **** Cheney Rolled Into One

(My Original Blog Post: http://ping.fm/xrpm2)
George W. Bush
James Nash asked:


While I disagree with many of Sen. John McCain 's policies, I am willing to grant that one can make wise, rational president and represent a point in the right direction for the nation. More. With his selection of Sarah Palin governor of Alaska as his candidate for Vice-President, has indicated a lack dramatic and even dangerous view. In addition to her frightening lack of qualification to be vice president (much less president) of the United States, Palin is an evangelical, the anti-choice, pro-gun, right-wing conservative who wants creationism taught in schools. It is currently under consideration by the legislature of Alaska for alleged abuse of his office. I can just imagine Palin having anything to do with the foreign policy of the United States, domestic policy, national defense or the countless other affairs of federal control. A particularly disturbing feature of the Palin candidacy is her abysmal environmental remark during his two years as governor of Alaska and how that translates into national environmental policy if you become vice chairman. His remark as environmental regulator nation ' "s; last frontier" deserves) changes of climate near examination.1. Although Alaska is Ground Zero in the crisis of global warming, Palin has done virtually nothing to address the problem except to close the meetings and to appoint a "climate sub-cabinet" that likewise has done little. Lots of talk,, no. Although during the past two years the Arctic sea ice limited to the lowest levels ever recorded, Palin summer apparently does not believe it is human-induced or cause for alarm. It sought to establish a department of Alaska on Climate Change, on a response to climate pollack (based on a tax on oil production pollack) and aims to reduce emissions for Alaska but has not taken action in relation to those) requests.2 polar bears. This summer, Palin has filed suit against the Bush administration over the federal listing of polar bears as threatened, said that his opposition was based on a "review." Comprehensive scientific; But once sought to liberate the review Scientific, has refused. The document, later obtained by the public (federal government), clearly shows that, contrary to Palin 's assertions, the condition of Alaska' scientists of cetacean s have agreed with the federal conclusions that the polar bears are in serious difficulties due to global warming and loss of their habitat of sea ice and that they would be gone from Alaska by 2050.Palin clearly decided to opporrsi to protect Arctic oil and gas development, and has resorted public the basis for its decision and then tried to conceal everything that. Running for office on a platform of honesty and vinegar, this was none. Her extreme position here puts the political rights of endangered species of Bush / Cheney administration.3). Earlier this year, Palin approved an appropriate condition of the $ 2 million for a conference on "impacts" economic, of endangered species including, designed to persuade the public that ESA listings were too expensive and unjustified . He recently agreed to use the money to preferably establish a fund for the state 's case against the Bush administration over the polar list of bears - a likely violation of constitutional provisions on ownership of the condition. Opposes the additional species listings and other protections nell'Alaska, where many species are at risk because of climate change and the other) threats.4 predator control. Palin approved and espanto the state 'predator control program of s plane, where wolves are shot from aircraft and bears searched from aircraft and killed upon landing. This year, his condition even biologists dragged 14 wolf pups born from their lair and, already shot their parents, then shot each of the pups in the head by a neighbor. Last year, his administration has offered $ 150 for each goodness wolf killed until the quality is not regulated by the illegal shorts. Hundreds of wolves are killed every year by this antiquated condition that has no scientific justification whatever, but rather is designed to appease Palin 'urban mine hunter of the pebble supporters.5 of sports s). Palin has aggressively opposed the "initiative" of clean water, on the ballot paper in August nell'Alaska (who has since died), preferably encourage mining companies want a few foreign government regulations that control their effluent toxic to salmon streams. Supported virtually any and all mining proposals that had come his way, probably even the gold of the huge stone and copper mine proposed in the watershed of Bristol Bay. That program was put at risk the largest runs of sockeye salmon in the world, where this summer fishermen have interfered with the more than 27 million) salmon.6 drilling for oil and gas industry. Palin has supported drilling programs for gas and oil everywhere nell'Alaska, including the national reserve Arctic, central nell'Artide, the entire Arctic Ocean and in Bristol Bay and into the fish-rich cook. On his supervision, the oversight of government and regulatory mechanisms of oil receivables pollack is terrible lack and refused to establish a citizens' Advisory Council to provide more effective public oversight of the operations espandentesi gas and oil in the fall of oil to the arctic Alaska.7) Exxon Valdez damages. Palin refuses to push Exxon to pay the government unforeseen environmental injuries from the fall of 1989 oil disaster of the Exxon Valdez. Almost 20 years later, the case is still unsolved reserved and the governments likewise have yet to collect full payment from Exxon. Shortly before Palin took office in 2006, the governments presented Exxon with a demand to pay $ 92 million this additional environmental damage, but his administration has not pressed the issue nor Exxon brought in court to collect the money. Meanwhile, Exxon collects record profits) from ground transport transport Alaska.8. Palin was asked repeatedly by coastal residents and organizations to enhance the safety of transport merchant with Alaska 's Aleutian Islands, a primary transport route between Asia and North America, but she' s done nothing. Citizens want better vessel tracking, powerful pull the rescue along the route and an assessment of risk. While his predecessor had established a fund for a scoping study, the administration of Palin was not an appropriate currency for ten cents of U.S. dollars to improve transport safety through the Aleutians, and says that will not take further action to reduce the risk for several years in the future. The pattern is clear. The environment, Sarah Palin is essentially George W. Bush, **** Cheney and perhaps James Watt rolled into one, but with a more pleasant demeanor. At a time when the nation and the world urgently need strong environmental management from the United States, it is important to look beyond charisma and carefully consider the environmental implications of our vote in November.
