Gov. Jon M. Huntsman Jr. is teaming up with California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to terminate climate change.
Schwarzenegger, a fellow GOP leader whose state is credited with waging the nation's most aggressive assault on climate change visited Utah Monday as part of a six state movement and part of a Western Region Climate Action Initiative.
"It's in line with the priorities I have for the state," Huntsman said of the Western Regional Climate Action Initiative. "Climate change is a real issue and one that we all need to get smart about."
The move comes in the weeks after a series of international reports that suggest people worldwide need to prepare for climate change and that reasonable solutions are available to address it. In the West, the effect are expected to be more and deeper droughts.
The partnership also comes a few days after Huntsman announced that Utah would join a registry developing standardized measuring tools for the greenhouse gasses blamed for climate change, tools needed when those gasses eventually face government or market-based controls.
