Palin Rules
For those on the world stage hoping that the forthcoming US Presidential elections will result in a US Government more in keeping with the environmental views of other industrialised countries, Senator John McCain’s choice of Sarah Palin as running mate might be an indication of business as usual if the Republicans win. Palin favours drilling for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, has opposed initiatives banning the discharge of pollution from metal mines into salmon streams, and has blocked moves to list polar bears as threatened species. Furthermore, she has so far failed to set emission reduction targets for Alaska, and has even questioned the science behind global warming predictions.
