The times they are a changing

Some words of wisdom from the Governator (courtesy of the Sacramento Bee):

We hear so much about climate change. One area where we definitely need the climate to change is the national government's attitude toward global warming.

Bear in mind that Arnie is a member of the same political party as the current administration.

A sign that the political dynamics may already be shifting (from MSNBC):

Oil major Exxon Mobil Corp. is engaging in industry talks on possible U.S. greenhouse gas emissions regulations and has stopped funding groups skeptical of global warming claims — moves that some say could indicate a change in stance from the long-time foe of limits on heat-trapping gases.

Exxon, along with representatives from about 20 other companies, is participating in talks sponsored by Resources for the Future, a Washington, D.C., nonprofit. The think tank said it expected the talks would generate a report in the fall with recommendations to legislators on how to regulate greenhouse emissions.
