Globalist Governator

[audtatious]

Dulles, Virginia -- Bowing before the politically correct lords of the environmental movement, California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger declared this week that when it comes to the issue of climate change, “America has to lead, and [California is] doing so with or without Washington.” Schwarzenegger was explaining his decision to ratify a two-year environmental alliance between the state of California and the People’s Republic of China under the supervision of the United Nations.

Frustrated with the Bush administration’s reluctance to embrace a global climate treaty that would place caps on greenhouse gas emissions, Schwarzenegger engaged the UN and China by making an end run around the White House and bragging, “California is not waiting for the federal government to take action.” Normally, applause is in order for a governor who protects his constituents from an intrusive federal government in Washington. But that is not what Arnold is doing here. He is flaunting the Constitution and undermining national sovereignty.

Specifically, Schwarzenegger instructed Linda Adams, the Secretary of the California Environmental Protection Agency, to sign a “Memorandum of Understanding,” (MOU) between California and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) which provides “a framework of cooperation and facilitate collaboration” between California and China on climate change issues. Schwarzenegger pledged to the UNDP that California will support “capacity building in China” -- infrastructure, technology, and other resources to help the communist regime reduce its greenhouse gasses.

I guess he figures Carter can get away with it then he should also have the ability to act as he sees fit as well?

You know, when you lead the nation in working towards a clean environment, you're going to get a few rocks tossed your way. Arnold isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, but he understands the value of a clean environment. I would say that 80+ percent of the people in CA support him (in this regard) and are willing to make whatever sacrifices necessary to have that environment.

Understand that the geography of California is different. With a typically onshore wind, and a mountain range to the east, and many valleys framed by mountains, the pollutants seem to be a greater problem here than other places. These pollutants seem to settle in the populated areas. This has caused California to develop extraordinary means to deal with these problems, and this development has placed CA in the forefront, at least in the US. The good news is that it will eventually reach other states and locals.

This is nothing but another Global Warming/Greenhouse Gas cluster-fuk. Now, you want to discuss actual air pollution then that's completely different.
