This is on the front page of my Sacramento BEE. I ask you Republicans... Is he "rootless," or just plain ruthless?

I hate to tell the environmentalists but alligators aren't endangered anymore...they're a plain nuisance these days...eating dogs, cats, kids and all.

He sits on a rock surrounded by a squirrel, rabbit and other creatures of the forest. All while wearing his trademark boots made of dead animal skins.

But he did buy carbon offsets to counteract the damage his carbon emissions are doing to the environment. What more can he do?

Arnold's brand of environmentalism is using technology to stave off environmental harm without overly raising costs or expecting people to sacrifice their lifestyle. The changes he wants don't go as far as the extreme Left would like to see.

Here is a little bit of my take on all this horse-pucky:

If we correlate the per capita emissions of CO2 with the national income per capita we can get a very crude relationship between the standard of living in one country to another assuming the higher number demonstates more goods, services, etc., which use the additional energy. In 2002 the US per capita emissions of CO2 annually was 19.4839 tons per 1,000 persons. Reducing that by 80% would mean those 1,000 persons would be producing 3.89678 tons annually. In that year Romania produced 4.06309 tons per 1,000 and Jamaica produced 3.77182 tons.

So by reducing our per capita emissions of CO2 could possibly place the US in the neighborhood of Romania and Jamaica in national income. The average of these two countries national income in 2002 was 2,190.84. In 2002 the US national income per capita was 33,070.30. The only advantage I see to living in Jamaica is relaxing on the beach.

As an extreme usage of statistics ask how many of the people screaming to reduce CO2 by 80% would accept their standard of living to be reduced by 100 - (2190.84 / 33070.30) = 93.4%.

The datum come from the web site:

I can just see California dropping to the living standard of Romania.

If he was a full blown card carying leftist like Boxer then his “inconsistancies” wouldn’t befuddle activists one bit...after all,.. Boxers inconsistancies certainly don’t, they are overlooked and ignored !

[calcowgirl]

I watched Arnie on Hannity today and heard Arnie use the word “conserve.”

What a joke! Arnie and the Kennedy’s don’t know the meaning of conservation. It’s the ole “conserve is for thee, not for me” syndrome.

Love him or hate him, you have to respect Ed Begley, Jr. for walking the talk. Arnie is a poser, in every way.

Dare anyone say it?

"It seems to me his (modus operandi) is to say people don't have to sacrifice right now," said Rico Mastrodonato, Northern California director of the League of Conservation Voters. "He's saying they can have their cake and eat it, too."

Rico, you got one right!

[sergeantdave]

The League of conservation voters is a Marxist organization. I get their pleas for cash daily. They remind me of the bawling old babushkas who file past the waxed fruit in Lenin’s tomb at Red Square.

[Tax Government]

The same madness of crowds that spawned the Nazis now spawns the global-warming hysteria. I doubt Arnie sees the irony.
