Governor Schwarzenegger Embraces Climate Action Team Report
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger fully embraced the Climate Action Team (CAT) report and its recommendations for dramatically reducing the state's global warming emissions. On April 4, 2006 he congratulated the team of scientists, economists, and policy experts who had contributed to the report by proclaiming that "The debate is over. The science is in. The time to act is now. Global warming is a serious issue facing the world and California has taken an historic step with the release of this report. We are all convinced that we can protect our environment and leave California a better place without harming our economy."
UCS played an important role in coordinating the scientists and economists who contributed to the report, which outlines technology and policy strategies to reduce the state’s emissions of global warming gases to 2000 levels by 2010 and to 1990 levels by 2020.
