Thoughtful and reasonable approach or political backtracking?
Chicago's Eugene Robinson (no accident he is out in front still attempting to minimize Palin and protect his fellow Chicago Way alumns...) wrote that Palin herself sought advice on a potential carbon trading market. Palin replies that what she was reviewing was nothing like the Cap n Tax measures being proposed by the Democrat Congress and at proponents in Copenhagen.

Id like to thank Eugene Robinson for highlighting Alaskas achievements on climate change [Palins own Climate- gate, op-ed, Dec. 15] and for noting that Ive treated the issue as serious, complex, and worthy of urgent attention, while making any number of pragmatic, reasonable, smart decisions as governor. But hes wrong to suggest that my views have somehow changed or that now Ill have to renounce my past efforts.
Once again: I dont deny that climate change is real. In creating a sub-cabinet to deal specifically with the issue, I said that Alaskas climate change strategy must be built on sound science and the best available facts and must recognize Alaskas interest in economic growth and the development of its resources. That goal made sense to me then, and it makes sense to me now.
