maybe it isn't a natural cycle, and the entire thing is political, but if you look at the scientific evidence and talk to any scientist who isn't working for Gore, you'll find that the avergae temperature of the planet has decreased by 6 degrees in the last 10 years. the problem we have with all of this is that people are calling what should be categorized as "climate change," "global warming." the earth is not getting warmer, therefore we cannot call it "global warming," we must call it climate change, because that is what it is.
and where does sarah palin fit in all of this anyways? she thinks climate change is part of God's plan (or at least she did until the entire world called her an idiot and McCain told her to stuff it), i'm pretty sure she knows absolutely nothing about the science behind climate change.
