LONDON (AP) - California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is urging
governments - including that of President Bush - to face up the
reality of global warming.
``The debate is over,'' he wrote in Britain's Independent on Sunday
newspaper. ``We know the science. We see the threat posed by changes
in our climate. And we know the time for action is now.''
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.
Climate change is one of the major issues expected to be discussed at
the upcoming Group of Eight summit at the Gleneagles resort in
Scotland.
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.
``Global warming threatens California's water supply, public health,
agriculture, coastlines and forests - our entire economy and way of
life,'' Schwarzenegger wrote.
