Earlier this week, President Bush outlined a new global warming plan calling for a“national goal” to halt the growth of U.S. carbon emissions by 2025. Essentially, this policy would allow unchecked growth in emissions until that point, at which point, Bush has the “goal” of stopping the rate of growth of those emissions.
The administration’s plan was warmly received by Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK), the Senate’s biggest global warming skeptic, and even Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT). But Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R-CA) is having none of it. Thursday, on PBS’s Charlie Rose, Schwarzenegger sharply rebuked Bush: “this administration is just not really with the program”:
We have to go and make decisions today. Time is running out there’s an urgency there. This is the important thing here. For him to say we should start really reducing greenhouse gases by the year 2025, by that time we’ll have no more glacier left. By that time, our sea level will be rising. We will be in a dangerous situation. I think it is somewhat irresponsible. I think the action is now.

The Gropinator and Gerbil could get a rat's behind about global warming.
Nice new look Biloxi, also what is that tower in the left hand corner? (and it is also an icon on each post I don't recognize it)
No we did not feel the earthquake up north here in the state, or maybe I am a sound sleeper and at 4:30 in the morning that is what I was doing.
Glad your family is fine. That is a tower on the left hand corner. And it is a tower icon on each post. My old look on the blog had an arrow on each posting.
Gropinator is only looking to position himself for a job after his gig as Governor.
