California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger announced a deal under which California will mandate a reduction in the state's emissions of gases contributing to global warming to 1990 levels by 2020.
California already has passed a law requiring greenhouse-gas-emission cuts from cars and light trucks sold in the state. The cut would target the state's biggest industrial emitters of greenhouse gases, such as power plants, oil refineries and cement factories.
Finally: a politician who understands the threat posed by global warming! Regardless of whether you agree with Schwarzenegger's other political ideas, he's exactly right on this one. It's about time somone acknowledged the obvious - that the planet is not ours to pillage and ignore.
