Schwarzenegger Blasts Bush on Global Warming
ABC snooze with George Steponallofus ^

ABC News' Mary Bruce Reports: Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, R-Calif., spoke out against President Bush this morning attacking his administration for its failure to counter global warming emissions.
"This administration did not believe in global warming," Schwarzenegger told ABC News' George Stephanopoulos in an exclusive interview that will air Sunday on ABC's "This Week."
"They just didn't believe in it or they didn't believe that they should do anything about it, since China is not doing anything about it and since India is not willing to do the same thing, so why should we do the same thing?" Schwarzenegger said.
"We don't wait for other countries to do the same thing. That's what makes America number one... And I think we have a good opportunity to do the same thing, also, with fighting global warming," he said.
Schwarzenegger's comments came in reaction to the Environmental Protection Agency's recent decision not to take further action against global warming during the remainder of Bush's presidency. "Well, to be honest with you, if they would have done something this year, I would have thought it was bogus anyway," he said. When asked why, the California Governor said, "because you don't change global warming and you don't really have an effect by doing something six months before you leave office."

Shove it, Arnold.

There’s millions of other Americans that don’t believe global warming.

Agreed! Only I would suggest that he not only shove it, but that he shove it sideways!
Freakin’ RINO!

Arnold quickly proved to be irrelevent after he was elected. He is escalating at this point.

Arnold is proving to be the buff version of Gray Davis.

There are thousands of respected scientists who also do not believe in global warming and the evidence of man made global warming put forth by Al Gore has long ago been debunked.

Arnold drives his hummer, and has a private jet to fly him from sacto to his home near LA. he should set by example... the least he could do is take the grey hound and use city transport, and ditch his hummer..Mother nature has spoke to him about global warming.. N Ca. is putting pollution all over the western US with the fires..this not caused by man..

Arnold’s ignorance is showing:
“the G-8 signed on to what has been the White House approach since 2002. The U.S. has relied on the arc of domestic energy programs now in place, like fuel-economy standards and efficiency regulations, along with billions in subsidies for low-carbon technology. Europe threw in with the central planning of the Kyoto Protocol — and the contrast is instructive. Between 2000 and 2006, U.S. net greenhouse gas emissions fell 3%. Of the 17 largest world-wide emitters, only France reduced by more.”

At least Dukakis took the train to work.

Arnold “believes in” global warming the way other people believe in the Almighty. For him, it’s a surrogate religion.

Sounds like the Austrian reject needs to fight his own global warming ...
His head is overheated.
From a zero actor ... to a zero governor ... to a one day Jesse Ventura imitator.
It's too bad ignorance isn't painful.

IMHO, Arnold Schwarzenegger is trying to distance himself from Bush, who is phenomenally unpopular in California, to position himself to run against Barbara Boxer in 2010.

It's simple Arnold. If Americans conserve all we do is allow more and cheaper oil for the rest of the world to gobble up, strengthening their economies while still emitting these supposed green house gases in the same amount. Only difference is that we become a third world society. Why would I even consider pushing my thermostat to 80? So I can sweat on my dining room table while the energy I save is bought up and used by others that don't care about price?
Shove it Arnold.
