I'm not a big Arnold fan, but I'm glad that he is using his position to prod California in doing something about climate change. They've recognized that it is a problem and are planning to do their part to try to turn it around. What's wrong with that? If we wait for everyone to agree on this, then the science it's pretty clear that are economy and lifestyle is going to suffer in the long run.
As for costing jobs, it seems to me that if we send less of our money to places like Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, and Nigeria for oil and spent more on renewable resources at home, then it would be pretty good in a lot of ways, including creating jobs.
Who is they?
What is the nature of the problem?
Why is it a problem?
Is it a circumstance over which people have a control?
Many suggest that the world's climate is changing.
Most will point out that changes have always occurred.
Many say the climate is warming.
Most will agree that it has warmed before.
Many suggest that a warming climate is bad?
Other say; "So what? Adapt!"
Many say that people are causing the warming.
Others say "Prove it!".
Many blame an expanding world population for the problem.
Others say; "Then limit the population."
Many say population control is unthinkable.
Others say; "Then accept a little warming."
Some say that the world is entering a mini ice age.
Others point out it has happened before.
Many think an ice age is bad.
Others say; "So what? Adapt!"
Many think that global warming will end our species.
Others point out that species have come and gone as climates changed.
Many predict that the end is near.
Others whisper; "Chicken Little?".
Let’s just assume for a moment that we had the power to influence our weather (which this is the most arrogant belief that man has ever come up with.) Even the same corrupted scientists (Enron financed many of them) that support this belief say man could lower the temperature by a fraction of a degree that is if we had no cars at all, that is if we used no electricity and so on laterally living as we did in the Stone Age.
If we really wanted to influence the weather we are going about it all wrong. We should be focusing on what we know for a fact that does change the weather such as volcanoes and how to stop them. We couldn’t even fathom how to do that.
In Arnold’s mind the debate is over, thus the majority of the scientists that doesn’t accept that man is influencing the weather are irrelevant. If it was a vote among scientists the minority wins for Arnold.
