Palin reverses position on climate change

[spanone]

After years of questioning the scientific consensus, the vice-presidential nominee has agreed that human activity contributes to rising global temperatures

"I believe that man's activities certainly can be contributing to the issue of global warming, climate change," Palin told ABC news, in her first mainstream interview since John McCain chose her as his vice-presidential nominee.

Palin had previously cast doubt on the cause of rapid Arctic sea ice melting in her home state of Alaska. One day before she joined the Republican ticket in August, she told conservative website NewsMax: "I'm not one … who would attribute to being man-made."

Palin's shift brings her more in line with McCain, who has acknowledged that warming comes from the burning of fossil fuels and vowed to regulate US carbon emissions as president.

If they win, she will reverse back. Don't be fooled, she didn't want to protect Polar Bears because of environmental extremists, I saw the interview.
