California Turns Up the Heat on Global Warming Stallers

California is making several aggressive moves on fighting global warming.
It's great to see the world's 5th largest economy and a leader among US states taking such bold actions.

• The first state law capping greenhouse gas emissions.
On Sept. 26th, the governor signed into law the first state-wide cap on global warming pollution. It mandates that California cut its greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by 2020, about a 25 percent reduction.

• Governator's Green Man Building a Bush By-Pass Across the Nation
On September 26th, Terry Tamminen, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's top environmental aide, kicks off his mission to convince other states to adopt policies like the State of California has just enacted in an effort to fight global warming.
"What California is doing can be replicated by other states," Tamminen told Reuters in an interview on Friday. "We can create over the next few years a de facto national policy on climate change and we don't have to wait for the federal government."

• California takes US EPA to the Supreme Court.
California and 11 other states are suing the EPA for failing to protect the nation from Global Warming. The court will hear the case this Fall. According the the Sierra Club, this is the big enchilada of global warming court cases.
