GLOBAL WARMING: Schwarzenegger parts company with delusional White House Arnold goes green Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has deviated once again from the Bush playbook, this time acknowledging that the science confirming global warming is real and vowing to cut California's greenhouse gas emissions. Apparently, the California governor can see clearly now, even if the White House can't. The Bush administration, by contrast, has attacked research that cites human activity as a cause of global warming, arguing either that the science is not yet conclusive or that the economy cannot afford mandatory measures to reduce greenhouse gases, or both. Greenhouse gases got their name because they trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, causing temperatures to rise and altering weather. Carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and other such gases are products of burning oil and coal in factories, electric power generating plants and cars and trucks. States, including California, are taking steps to cut greenhouse gas emissions because the federal Environmental Protection Agency, under Bush, is asleep at the switch. The Golden State already has moved to go beyond federal standards to reduce emissions from cars and trucks. A group of states in the Northeast is working to place a ceiling on total greenhouse gas emissions, then allow companies that cut more than their share to sell their excess capacity to other businesses. A similar "cap and trade" scheme has cut sulphur dioxide from coal-fired power plants. sltrib.com
