No Democrat could have succeeded in pushing this nonsense to the extent Arnie has.
Proof positive that “any (R) is better than a (D)” is pure myth.

“California is the eighth largest economy in the world. It’s so big, it’s so powerful, what we do has consequences,” said Schwarzenegger, who signed the Global Warming Solutions Act into law in 2006.

This law sets a goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 80 percent by 2050, a level many climate scientists feel is needed to avert the worst effects of global warming.

“When California passed its global warming act, we were alone,” he said. “Now we’ve got partnerships with other states, European nations. Six hundred American cities have signed on to be part of the Kyoto Treaty. America has to lead, and we are doing so even without Washington.”

Today Governor Schwarzenegger also met with Quebec Premier Charest, who announced that Quebec is joining the Western Climate Initiative, which calls for a 15 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions below 2005 levels by 2020.

“I trust you heard President Bush’s speech on climate change this week,” the California governor said. “Well, I’m glad he is acknowledging the very serious threat, but now I want to see the sense of real urgency to match that threat. I want to see the federal government approve California’s request for a waiver that will enable 17 states to clean their own air of greenhouse gases.”
