Sorry to “get political”, but it really was (originally) motivated by the animals. Until Sarah Palin was introduced, I never would have posted anything about a candidate here. (It’s only because she’s running as VP that it would offend anyone. But I consider her attitude toward animals on the same level with Michael Vick, who everyone posted comments about all over the Internet, and no one was offended by that.) So I continue to Google out of a mix of curiosity, despair and worry, and post things that I find interesting. I don’t get many visitors, so this is more for my own interests, like starting a new collection of something.

I was happy to find this today:

Biden: Palin will have to defend climate views

Here’s the beginning excerpt:

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin will eventually have to defend “some fairly extreme views” on climate change when she starts granting interviews as Republican presidential hopeful John McCain’s running mate, her Democratic rival Joe Biden said Monday.

“Her views on everything from global warming to a host of other things, if they are as presented, they are pretty far out there,” said Biden, Democrat Barack Obama’s running mate, during a town hall-style meeting. “She’s going to have to defend those positions.”

Palin has expressed doubt over whether human activity has contributed to global warming and has clashed with environmentalists over classifying the polar bear as a threatened species and her defense of Alaska’s right to shoot down wolves from the air to boost caribou and moose herds for hunters.

(The rest doesn’t pertain to animals.)
