The following article from ClimateScienceWatch.org was posted on Friday, August 29, 2008 and is available in its entirety at the following Web address: http://www.climatesciencewatch.org/index.php/csw/details/palin_polarbear_climate_anwr/ Title: "Gov. Sarah Palin on polar bears, climate change, and drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge" Introduction: In September 2007 Governor Palin formed the Alaska Climate Change Sub-Cabinet and charged it with preparing and implementing an Alaska Climate Change Strategy for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and responding to the effects of climate change.  But Palin opposed listing the polar bear as threatened by global warming and loss of sea ice habitat, in spite of the findings of a scientifically based status assessment put together by the the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Marine Mammals Management Office in Alaska and the clear requirements of the Endangered Species Act.
