"Schwarzenegger, a Republican, did not mention Bush by name, but called on "governments everywhere" to join action to combat climate change. He contradicted Bush's claims that taking action will damage the U.S. economy...Schwarzenegger has vowed to make California a leader in the battle against global warming, calling on the state to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases while increasing use of renewable energy."
