ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin acknowledged Tuesday that global warming was harming her state but said stepped-up natural-gas production could mitigate its effects.
Speaking at a hearing before Interior Secretary Ken Salazar — the third of several he is holding to consider renewed oil and gas leasing on the Outer Continental Shelf — Palin said that relatively clean-burning natural gas could supplant dirtier fuels and slow the discharge of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
Palin previously had questioned the science behind predictions of sea-ice loss.
