Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger today issued the following statement on President Bush's climate change address:
"I commend the President for acknowledging that we have a climate change problem and a responsibility to address it, but as I've said, the time for real action is now.
"Targets for reduction are important, but I'd like to see the federal government follow the lead many states have taken on this issue and approve California's request for a waiver that would enable 17 states to clean their own air of greenhouse gases.
"We must not let our emissions ever hit 2025 levels. California's goal is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by the year 2020.
"I am glad that we all recognize the very serious threat in front of us - what we need now is the sense of urgency to match that threat."
