Just a joke, just a joke.Gov. Palin's subcabinet on climate change met Wednesday in Anchorage and heard from, among others, Luke Hopkins of the Fairbanks North Star Borough Assembly and representatives from the Denali Commission, the Army Corps of Engineers, the Pew Center on Global Climate Change, and the office of U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski.
The subcabinet spent a good bit of time talking about forming subgroups to address specific issues, including . . .
-research needs (identifying them)
-immediate action (figuring out what to do in Kivalina and Shishmaref, for instance)
-alternative energy and energy conservation
-carbon sequestration
-and policy tracking (weighing in on federal legislation or participating in regional initiatives)
The subcabinet also got an update on the Department of Environmental Conservation's work to refine a state carbon emissions inventory -- the hope is to get it done by the end of the year.
