I'd like to thank Eugene Robinson for highlighting Alaska's achievements on climate change ["Palin's own 'Climate- gate,' " op-ed, Dec. 15] and for noting that I've "treated the issue as serious, complex, and worthy of urgent attention," while making "any number of pragmatic, reasonable, smart decisions as governor." But he's wrong to suggest that my views have somehow changed or that now I'll have to "renounce" my past efforts.

I’ll put Alaska’s enviroment against any of her critics. I been to most of their places and her’s and for clean air and water I chose Alaska. It it were not so cold I would move there.
People who say this scare me; the Lady Palin included.
It's not like one cannot make a case that something called "climate change" is a real phenomenon. The problem is that what the populace at large associates with "climate change" is very definitely not real.

The climate does change. Four times a year here.
Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter.
It’s real.
Agreed.
She stops short of claiming it caused by man (AGW) but it’s still not exactly re-assuring.
Climate change is real, always has been, always will be on Earth. The question has always been - what, if any, is the effect of human activity? Because of climategate, no one is now able to say with any credibilty that human activity is causing anything.
Sarah Palin’s achievements in office outshine just about every other elected official in any state at all.
it changes every day as well
THe AGW believers see things in black and white. They view, that if you don’t agree with this policy solution then you must not be a believer of climate change
But I've never heard her suggest that we're responsible for the change.
In the long term, it's a useful tool to get people accept that "change happens" and "it's not our fault". Once more people get to that understanding, the Left loses a major battle for hearts and minds.

Climate change is real -- at least due to longer term Milankovitch cycles. It is a question whether humans can pump out enough greenhouse gases to slow or prevent the next glacial advance (due in a few thousand years). We need better and more honest data to know what humanity is facing so that humans can better adapt.
Sarah Palin is winning all the battles when it comes to the issues because her opponents would rather focus on personal attacks and smearing everything she says.
Keep up the good work Sarah. Everyone with common sense sees this.
Uh...umm...uh....ummm....(repeat for several minutes, with forced smiles and grimaces).
Just like homosexuals using a happy funloving innocuous word like gay to describe their perverse lifestyle as a diversion tactic so the warmers chose climate change.
It actually means global warming to them.
Therefore and unfortunately, like gay, climate change is misunderstood to be a “negative” occurrence while to the warmers it is just their old standby global warming, fraud that it is.
“I don’t deny that climate change is real.”

As you agree, I think, climate change occurs. It is a fact, and not something one even needs to make a case about any longer.
Are you suggesting that a better strategy is to deny ANY climate change, so the population won’t get stupid ideas in their head about possible contributions by man?
I’d like Romney to take that position and express that view - we would never need to worry about him getting reelected to any political office again!
I’ll bet this is the most read Letter to the Editor the WaPo has ever published. Last I heard Palin’s climategate op/ed was the 20th most read op/ed at the WaPo for the entire year, and I’ll bet it has gone up since then.
I wouldn’t be at all surprised! As an aside that global warming is ravagaing the UK tonight - 8 inches of snow forecast in the south and a light coating everywhere else (LOL)
