Schwarzenegger And Blair Bypass Bush On Global Warming

Schwarzenegger and Blair Bypass Bush on Global Warming

I am beyond impressed that British Prime Minister Tony Blair has finally grown a set, doing what is best for his country and not what GW wants, for once. I equally like the fact that Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger, is taking global warming serious and understands the effects of CO2 emissions on the environment.

The Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and the British Prime Minister, Tony Blair, have struck an agreement to bypass the Bush Administration and work together to fight global warming.

The unprecedented deal was sealed at a meeting on Monday that featured an all-star cast of entrepreneurs, among them James Murdoch, second son of the News Corporation founder, Rupert Murdoch; Anthony Pratt, chairman of the Melbourne company Pratt Industries USA; the co-founder of Google, Sergey Brin; and Virgin's Richard Branson.

The "nation state" of California, as Mr Schwarzenegger repeatedly referred to it, and Britain will create a market for the trading of carbon emissions, and share economic and scientific research on climate change and non-polluting technology.

Mr Blair and Mr Schwarzenegger were unequivocal about the reason for their union: the newly popular and urgent issue of global warming.

"The evidence of climate change and its danger is overwhelming," Mr Blair said. "It is very hard for anyone to dispute it."

People in the U.S. need only to look outside their doors today to see the effects of global warming all around us.

I, blogger politicalcorrectness, live in Southern Indiana and live in a region known for cool to moderately warm weather. Recently, we have had a string of above-average and record-high temperatures lately. We are experiencing weather more common with Texas, Georgia, or Florida at this time of the year, and it looks like there will be no end in sight for the immediate future.

What better global warming evidence do we need other than the changing temperatures that we are experiencing right now?
