CLIMATE change adviser Ross Garnaut's has warned that First World nations will be unable to avert global warming unless China and India join a global action plan. His point is pertinent and timely and we endorse it. It comes as federal cabinet finalises a cautious emissions trading scheme and Climate Change Minister Penny Wong represents Australia at the climate change conference in Poland.

POZNAN, Poland (Reuters) - Green regulations will help both the environment and ailing economies, California's Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger told a 187-nation U.N. climate conference on Monday.

"Of course, there are some people who say that we can't afford the fight against global warming while our economies are down," he said in a video message on the sidelines of the December 1-12 U.N. meeting in Poznan, western Poland.

"But the exact opposite is true," he said.

California, which is the world's fifth biggest economy on its own, has been leading other U.S. states in the fight against climate change.

"The green rules and regulations that will help save our planet will also revive our economies," the governor said.
