 LONDON (AP) - California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger praised Tony Blair for tackling climate change and said his own state could show the U.S. government that it can address environmental issues without damaging the economy.
Schwarzenegger, who traveled to London on the outgoing prime minister's last full day in office Tuesday, said that during a decade in power Blair has "proven to the world that you can do both ... protect the Earth and protect the economy."
Last July, Blair traveled to California so that Britain and California could form a partnership to address global warming, bypassing the Bush administration to explore ways to curb greenhouse gas emissions and promote clean-burning fuels.
