Opinions/Editorials Title: 82marine89 nails Arnolds unconstitutional global warming treaty 82marine said this
He won't secure the borders because its a Federal issue, but he'll combat 'global warming' and violate the Constitution by entering into a treaty with a foreign nation. Arnold Schriver-Schwarzenegger is a piece of work.
Article I. Section 10 No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay.
He said it about this
The state of California and the government of Great Britain have signed an agreement to collaborate on clean energy and ways to fight climate change.
"California will not wait for our federal government to take strong action on global warming," says Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger in a written statement following a meeting with British Prime Minister Tony Blair and the chief executive officers of more than a dozen California-based companies Monday.
"Today, we are taking an unprecedented step by signing an agreement between California and the United Kingdom,” the governor says. “International partnerships are needed in the fight against global warming and California has a responsibility and a profound role to play to protect not only our environment, but to be a world leader on this issue as well."
Specifically, the agreement commits both California and the United Kingdom to:
• Evaluate and implement market-based mechanisms that spur innovation.
The United Kingdom has agreed to share “best practices” on emissions trading and lessons learned in Europe. California and the UK will also explore the potential for linkages between market-based mechanisms that are supposed to better enable the carbon market to accelerate the transition to a low carbon economy.
• Both California and the United Kingdom will share research and information on climate change and how economies will be impacted.
• The two governments have agreed to coordinate energy sector efforts to switch to clean energy technologies, promote green buildings and increase the use of efficiency and renewable energy technologies.
“We will share information regarding our efforts to reduce emissions from the transportation sector, including California's emission standards and hydrogen highway and the United Kingdom's experience with a renewable fuels standard and clean coal technologies,” the governor’s office says.
• Enhanced coordination on climate change, especially the United Kingdom's Hadley Centre and the Virtual Climate Center in California.
Because of California's massive economy, the state is ranked as the 12th largest emitter of carbon in the world.
