Global warming threatens California's water supply, public health, agriculture, coastlines and forests - our entire economy and way of life," Schwarzenegger wrote.
"We have no choice but to take action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions."

Good grief! Someone really needs to educate him on this.
He get's his education from his Kennedy brethren, specifically RFK, jr. who wrote his environmental platform.
Arnie, the Kennedy Conservative.
He's getting plenty of (mis)education from the people who wrote his environmental plan: Bonnie Reiss, RFK Jr., Terry Tamminen, Robert Grady (a trustee of Environmental Defense), Buzz Thompson Dean at Stanford Law School and a bigwig at Earthjustus), and Dan Emmett (a big developer and real estate speculator).
Here is what you don't understand:
When people, especially moderates, are confronted with a hard choice, that choice becomes paradoxically easier. Such is a choice between a conservative and a liberal. Between a conservative and a moderate (as Davis was believed to be), a conservative loses. Between a conservative and a leftist, as Bustamante is and Davis is now exposed to be, a conservative wins, especially amid the wreckage of leftist governance.
That is why it was so evil for the Republican Party to run a supposedly moderate candidate against Bustamante and against their own principled candidate. That candidate is a statist, an anathema to everything for which the party supposedly stands but upon which the leadership depends for the cash flow with which it funds its continuing feckless hegemony.
Our protagonist, being an actor, needed only packaging, and a selective message to each divided constituency. Who cares if they are mutually exclusive messages? Just win baby.
Win what? With that philosophy in charge, the corporate and legal feeding frenzy that is destroying this state will continue.
I don't call him Schwarzenkennedy for nuthin'.
