Quitting Quiter Of Quit Graces Denier Filmfest On Capitol Hill, 'Cuz It's All A Big Hoax

Former Alaska Republican Gov. Sarah Palin yesterday said climate change is a myth that scientists and policymakers are peddling to advance a political agenda. At an event on Capitol Hill premiering a new film by climate doubters, Palin said global warming is being used by the government "to have more control over us, our homes, our businesses, our families, our lives."

She said doubters of climate change in various levels of government are afraid to "go rogue" and speak out for fear of being attacked by the media.

"There is definitely a political agenda behind all of this," she said. "People who are involved in this issue -- they're not stupid. They have studied this stuff. They have studied the data that they are -- erroneously, though -- delivering to the public to make us think that we can somehow change the weather."

The former Republican vice presidential candidate also slammed the teaching of climate change in schools, calling it "indoctrination" of the nation's children. And she said science is "getting thrown out of the window" in the debate about climate change in favor of advancing that so-called agenda.
