Palin Acknowledges Global Warming, Overlooks Conservation

Alaska Governor Sarah Palin and former global warming doubter seems now to be on board, but stressing natural gas over oil, without touting conservation, is still an Alaska-first message.

She's having it both ways: edging away from the outer-fringes of her increasingly marginalized Republican party while gearing up for a 2012 presidential run and fronting for Alaska's fossil fuel interests.

Interesting, but way short of what's needed: heavy spending on alternative fuels and conservation.
