Doesn't make any sense...
Palin has long been a global warming "critic." I put it in quotes because she uses no facts to back up her claims. McCain, on the other hand, understands and cedes to scientists on issues of science. As a result, Palin has had to halfway embrace that it could be man-made. In her only two legit interviews, she has stated that man's activities may have contributed to warming to some extent, but not entirely. And natural warming cycles are just as responsible. After making these two "points," she states that regardless of whether it's man-made or natural, we have to do something about it. Guess what, dumbass? If it's natural, we can't do anything about it. You want to change the sun? Sure. Go for it. And if she thinks that dinosaurs lived with people 6,000 years ago, then she definitely isn't referring to geoengineering. She's just making a blind rhetorical statement. I don't know why Couric and Gibson didn't call her out on this obvious contradiction.
For the record, the last 11-year solar cycle has been essentially dormant when compared to recent cycles. The solar flares that Senator Inhoffe likes to bring up as being responsible for increased temperatures are fabricated. I guess he has an inside source at the sun, who is getting better data than NASA. He's been claiming for years that this is the case. Then why are the temperatures increasing at a much higher rate at the poles where there is no vegetation to absorb the CO2? Oh, because of campaign donations. That's right.
The simplest way to dispel this solar activity myth is to look at the temperature variance between the troposphere and stratosphere. The troposphere is the lowest level of atmosphere, with the stratosphere being next. The temperatures of the two should increase and decrease at the same rate. However, as greenhouse gases have trapped heat, the troposphere is comparatively warmer than it should be in accordance to the temperature of the stratosphere.
This is a little nerdy for a comedy blog. My bad. I just hate it when people try to discredit science.

Yeah, but that's because the jury's still out...on....science...
