Maybe CO2 is not so important: Schwarzenegger double-books himself for both days of his own grand Global Climate Summit

Sept. '08: Governor to Convene Global Climate Summit

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is trying to cast himself in a new role: an international leader on global warming. ... He is planning the conference for November, a month before the United Nations holds its next round of international climate talks in Poland. Governors from all 50 states also will be invited. ... Schwarzenegger's office said the summit will be scheduled Nov. 18-19 in Los Angeles but said it did not yet have a list of leaders who would be invited.

Oct '08: November calendar is filling up

He announced Wednesday that he will convene a first-ever Governor's Conference on Small Business and Entrepreneurship in Los Angeles on Nov. 18 and 19. Incidentally, those are the same days the governor will hold his Global Climate Summit in Beverly Hills with U.S. governors and representatives from foreign nations.

Apparently, the governor can multitask.
