Sarah Palin has spoken out against the science behind man-made climate change since she was a vice presidential hopeful in 2008, and now she's comparing the science behind it to eugenics.

"I'm not a denier. I don't doubt that climate change exists," Palin says in the video she posted to the Sarah Palin Channel. "No one has proven that these changes are caused by anything done by human beings via greenhouse gases. There's no convincing scientific evidence for man-made climate change."

"Climate change is to this century what eugenics was to the last century. It's hysteria and a lot of it's junk science. And when it's as discredited as eugenics, you know a lot of people are going to look very foolish and heartless," Palin said.

Palin may not believe climate change was caused by humans, but she has a record of fighting climate change in the past. As a governor, she created a special group to combat climate change issues like sea level rise, loss of sea ice and erosion.

Though some disagree with the science behind it, the Pentagon says climate change is a serious threat to national security.
