SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, a Republican who has challenged many members of his party to take climate change seriously, said Friday that he plans to invite lawmakers and governmental executives from around the globe to California this fall to address solutions to the problem.
The governor said he will invite officials from Europe, as well as from Australia, China, India and other countries, in the hope of forming an international alliance of community and regional leaders.
He is planning the conference for November, a month before the United Nations holds its next round of international climate talks in Poland. Governors from all 50 states also will be invited.
"The real action for any new ideas is always on the local level," Schwarzenegger told a gathering of the Commonwealth Club of California, a nonpartisan educational organization. "This is how we can push the agenda."

Schwarzenegger said he conceived the summit largely because of the failure of the U.S. to take the lead on initiatives seeking to slow or reduce the rate of global warming.
"Like I said, we are not waiting for the federal government," he said. "We will continue on to push forward."
Schwarzenegger's office said the summit will be scheduled Nov. 18-19 in Los Angeles, but the office did not yet have a list of leaders who would be invited.

Doesn’t this fool have a basket case economy to deal with? I swear, I think we would have been better off keeping Gray Davis.
Who made him king of the globe?
Sorry Ahnold. The “global warming” scam is over. Americans have finally figured out that it is a hoax.
Embarrassing.
It’s like a bad joke! This climate crap!
There has been no heating in 10 frikin’ years, a frikin’ decade, and this snake oil is still being sold!
Hey Arnie, your state is flat broke! Sell some offshores drilling leases, you frikin’ moron!
You've turned into a real bore.
At least the blame for our slow-motion disaster would have gone to a Democrat instead of a "Republican." We were totally conned.
21st Century Geniuses... I tell'ya!
Indeed; not all ‘movie stars’ are created equal
summit= a lot of hot air
Don’t blame me, I voted for McClintock.
Bless you.
I wanted to vote McClintock, but was more afraid of Bustmante the Socialist winning, so voted the "sure" ticket.
Turns out it was a ticket to a B-rated movie...
All these glitterati will fly in leaving a carbon footprint bigger than Arnold’s ego.
Of all the idiots who sing the Global Warming Song, this meathead is the dumbest.
i wish he’d start with the obama campaign encouraging his locksteppers to “drive for a change”. use gasoline to go to “battleground” states. (to do the thuggery no doubt)
This steroid saturated Austrian clown should first get a leash on Kalifornicate - before he tackles the globe.
LMAO!!!
Will this be followed by a hoola hoop contest and a Trivial Pursuit tournament?
Man, "global warming" is so... retro...

I’ve cleared my calender and I’ll be checking my mail every day, Arnie.
