Even the Terminator is speaking against the political hockus.
Excerpts below:
Schwarzenegger, a Republican whose state has pushed unsuccessfully for federal permission to limit greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles, said on ABC's "This Week" that any move at this point against climate change would lack sincerity.
"If they would have done something this year, I would have thought it was bogus anyway," he said. "You don't really have an effect by doing something six months before you leave office ... it doesn't sound to me believable at all. The sincerity is not there."
The chief of the Environmental Protection Agency, Stephen Johnson, on Friday declined to take steps to regulate climate-warming emissions under existing pollution laws, more than a year after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that his agency had the power to do just that.
Johnson's move, Schwarzenegger said, "really means basically this administration did not believe in global warming, or they did not believe that they should do anything about it since China is not doing anything about it and since India is not willing to do the same thing, so why should we do the same thing?"
Schwarzenegger said the United States should lead the fight against global warming, much as it did in the international race to put a person on the moon in the 1960s.
