Is SHE Still At It?

Of all the causes Sarah Palin has embraced in her varied career as hockey mom, Alaska governor, Republican vice-presidential nominee, Fox television commentator and Donald Trump supporter, none perhaps may be as bold or – as she still likes to say, “rogue” – as trying to take down a much-beloved children’s television personality: Bill Nye the Science Guy.

“Bill Nye is as much a scientist as I am,” Palin told the gathering. “He’s a kids’ show actor. He’s not a scientist.”

Oh, really?

The occasion was the premiere for the Climate Hustle, a film that dismisses global warming as an excuse for government takeover.

The event in Congress was hosted by Lamar Smith, the Texas Republican who chairs the House committee on science, space and technology. He did not appear but his prepared remarks accused government scientific agencies of fiddling with climate data.

[...]

To Palin’s mind, efforts by government, business leaders, campaigners – and yes, scientists like Nye – to fight climate change were a mere smokescreen for a huge power grab. She did not say by whom.

[...]

“The science is kind of getting thrown out of the window in discussions about changes in the weather,” Palin said. “It’s something that our candidates should be talking about and giving us their view on and hopefully acknowledging that it needs to become in the science community less political. Otherwise, it leads us to believe that so many things then coming from the scientists could be bogus. If this is bogus, what else are they trying to tell us and control us around?”

Still articulate, I see.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
