We think we're happy about the the Governors' Declaration on Climate Change, signed last Friday at a Yale University conference, but the the pledge is almost as vague as President's Bush's Rose Garden climate speech last week. For all the hype, only the governors of Connecticut, California, Kansas and New Jersey showed up in person to sign the declaration, which is founded on three principles: federal-state partnerships are critical to combating climate change; state-based climate action plans deserve continued support; and rewarding and encouraging mandatory state and federal action is important to addressing the problem. See what we mean? A few targets would have been nice. We are pleased to see that 14 other governors either signed the declaration before the conference or sent proxies to Connecticut to do it for them. Together those 18 states make up over half the U.S. population. Coming less than three days after President Bush made it clear that state and regional policies and regulations are "the wrong way" to fight climate change, it was nice to see the states fire back so quickly. You're going to be surprised to hear this, but Republic of California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger attended and spoke at the conference. "It's so big, it's so powerful, what we do has consequences," said Schwarzenegger, in what we think was a reference to his state. Schwarzenegger added that even though he has endorsed John McCain, he believes any of the three remaining presidential will be able to break "the deadlock" on setting national climate change policy, including mandatory emissions targets. Did your state sign the pledge? Those that have so far are Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Kansas, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Virginia and Washington, as

Yeah, OK, we can be the change that we want to see in the world. But unless powerful people in powerful positions want to be that change as well, nothing's going to change.
So now, finally, there's a place where you can go for news and analysis of politics from an environmental perspective.
