The Governator goes green - POLITICO.com Print View

Schwarzenegger still channels former Vice President Al Gore and stands by climate science, but he suggests dropping the shtick about rising seas and melting glaciers. 

"Let's face it, if we haven't convinced the skeptics by now, we aren't going to," Schwarzenegger will say Tuesday. "So, unless the North Pole breaks off this spring and floats up onto the north shore of Long Island, let's move past the old arguments."

His message will be more about deploying cleaner-burning energy technologies, under the auspices of the United States losing out to competitors in China and Europe. And he will link it all up to national security and the turmoil in the Middle East that has played games in recent weeks with global oil markets.
