Where Blair is Not Bush’s ‘Lapdog’

blair arnold When it comes to global war on terrorism, global economy and global politics, British Prime Minister Tony Blair no doubt sides ‘unconditionally’ with President Bush. But on the issue of global warming, Blair has in the past and continues to be more pragmatic and has managed to separate himself from the baloney the US Administration has propagated and more than half the nation has bought, that “global warming is NOT anthropogenic�?.

Prime Minister Blair met with California Terminator Arnold Schwarzenegger (R), and signed a pact that makes the United Kingdom and the state of California partners in the battle against global warming. The agreement among other things will include sharing of research resources and technologies.

Shortly after the signing, Prime Minister Blair said “We are at least on our way to putting in place the framework that will resolve this problem,” he continued, “We know that the answers to this [climate change] will come in the end by the development of the right science and technology.�?

California is the 12th largest emitter of carbon in the world despite leading the nation in energy efficiency standards and lead role in protecting its environment. According to a press release on CA.gov, California‘s climate change initiative will include:

1) Evaluate and implement market-based mechanisms that spur innovation that will better enable the carbon market(s) to accelerate the transition to a low carbon economy.

2) Deepen understanding of the economics of climate change.

3) Collaborate on technology research.

4) Enhance linkages between scientific communities in the UK and California.

Speaking at the signing, Gov. Schwarzenegger said, “California will not wait for our federal government to take strong action on global warming.�?

If nothing, this change in Schwarzenegger attitude is evidence that Steroids are less likely to affect your logical reasoning as does alcohol, the born again Christian Bush still believes that global warming and the triple digit temperatures heat wave sweeping our nation is “God made�?.
