Arnie's environmental platform that he posted on his website back in 2003 was written by Robert F. Kennedy, jr. who has long been tied in with the NRDC, Environmental Defense, etc. Arnie's global warming stance was included in that document, along with his 25 million acre land grab (the Sierra Nevada Conservancy), Hydrogen highways, regulating oceans, rivers and just about every darn part of our lives.
