Schwarzenegger and California To Tackle Global Emissions

This slap across the proverbial face of the current administration came as Governor Schwarzenegger announced plans to host a meeting of several countries in November to discuss ways to limit greenhouse gas emissions.
Countries attending will include China, India – the two fastest growing economies and, thus, fastest growing polluters – Australia, Canada, Mexico, and a variety of European countries. Specific details are still being worked out, but Schwarzenegger hopes to reach out to certain Chinese states on topics like emissions limits.
