Arnold To Bush: Your Climate Policy Is "Bogus" Print E-mail

California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger -- who as you may recall has endorsed John McCain -- yesterday began actively campaigning for a spot in the Obama administration slammed the Bush administration for failing to address the threat of global warming and ignoring last year's Supreme Court decision that said the EPA could regulate C02 emissions as a pollutant.

Speaking on ABC's "This Week," Schwarzenegger said even if the administration were to take measures now to address the problem, it would be too little too late. "Well, to be honest with you, if they would have done something this year, I would have thought it was bogus anyway," the Governator told George Stephanopoulos. "Because you don't change global warming and you don't really have an effect by doing something six months before you leave office."

But what really has Arnold irked is last Friday's decision by EPA chief Stephen "Stonewall" Johnson to not take any steps at this time to regulate C02 emissions, 15 months after the high court said the agency had the power to do just that. Johnson said regulating such emissions requires Congress to make new rules, as well as public comment, which is code for "we'll let the next president deal with this."

The move by Johnson, said Schwarzenegger, "really means basically this administration did not believe in global warming." He said it's imperative that the US not wait for China and India, and should instead lead the fight against global warming in the same way it led the race to put a person on the moon 40 years ago.

Schwarzenegger didn't have much to say about his alleged presidential candidate of choice, and in typical Arnold fashion, wasn't exactly subtle when discussing Obama: "There are things I don't agree with him on, but he's taken leadership on a very difficult issue [climate change] and we haven't seen that kind of leadership in Washington."

And if that wasn't clear enough, Arnold ended with one more verbal wink, saying he's always willing to talk to Obama, "and I'd take his call when he's president, anytime." At which point someone in the McCain campaign took a few extra Tums and burned all their Terminator DVDs.

To bring all their dreams, open to all efforts to fight the first time. Do not let waiting for the dream, even if this does not fail to regret because we worked hard.

Hi, We're EnviroWonk

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.
