"She is arguing against "emission reduction policies" here. "


I will concede on that one. Still, she defended her creation of the sub panel on climate change in the same article. The EO announcing the creation of the sub panel clearly support the principle of cap and trade. She has attacked certain cap and trade policies, but never has denounced carbon caps in principle. That is like Mitt opposing Obama's health care mandates but supporting the notion of health care mandates.

Announcing a sub panel to “study” something is an effective way of killing any proposed action on said policy. We know that these “sub panels” and “studies” never go anywhere which Palin would have known as well. It was a way of insulating herself from criticism from the enviro-weenie crowd, when at the time denying man-made “global warming” was tantamount to denying the holocaust. So she strategically “dithered” to prevent a harmful economic policy.

Since Climategate and Mr. Gore’s fall from grace, the sheeple’s eyes have been opened. The rules have changed and she is able to be more outspoken than she would have as Governor several years ago when the Climate changers controlled the debate.
