Progress

Much as I have problems with Ahnold, I applaud him for stepping up and attempting to deal with the problem of global warming. He's basically given the Chimp the finger on the subject of greenhouse gas emissions and that has to be a good thing:

LOS ANGELES, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- August 30, 2006 -- The greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction agreement announced today between Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and the State Legislature (AB 32) is an historic step, according to the California Climate Action Registry (Registry). AB 32 provides recognition to companies and public entities that already voluntarily participate in the Registry. Registry members such as PG&E, Hewlett Packard, BP America, Xerox, Qualcomm, Waste Management and others have already certified 200 million metric tons of GHG's through the Registry.

Good on Ahnold and good on the folks of CA. Let's hope the attitude is contagious among the Repukes.
