POPS Alaska: "Tip of the Spear" on Climate Change

by Andrew Gillies 9-12-2008

This week's National Journal looks at topic of climate change from an Alaskan perspective. Story quotes Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, who describes Alaska as the "tip of the spear" on climate change. Says she: "Clearly, climate change is there; it's real. We can see it happening in Alaska more so than in other parts of the country." Murkowski, the story notes, also advocates opening Arctic National Wildlife Refuge for oil and gas development, dedicating a portion of the resulting royalties to subsidize new energy sources such as wind, geothermal, and so on.
