"Senator John F. Kerry, the Massachusetts Democrat, responded on Tuesday to a Washington Post op-ed piece  by Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, that slammed President Obama's push for a cap-and-trade system.

Writing at the left-leaning Huffington Post Web site, Mr. Kerry argued that Ms. Palin never addressed "the crisis of global climate change" -- the underlying issue that prompted legislation now pending in Congress that would create just such a cap-and-trade program."
