LOS ANGELES, Aug. 15 (Xinhua) -- Six Mexican border states pledged on Friday to strengthen cooperation with California in fighting climate change and increase green investment through Public Private Partnerships.
As part of the cooperation, the six Mexican border states -- Sonora, Baja California, Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo Leon and Tamaulipas -- and California have joined together with Pacific Gas& Electric (PG&E) and the California Climate Action Registry (CCAR)in a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to combat climate change, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger said at an annual U.S-Mexican Border Governors Conference being held in Hollywood, Los Angeles.
California and the Mexican border states would work together to protect the environment while growing the economy, Schwarzenegger said.
"Mexico is an important environmental partner along our borders, and I applaud their efforts," Schwarzenegger said. "This first-of-its-kind public private partnership highlights Mexico's proven commitment to reduce global warming pollutants while providing an avenue for green industries to begin investing and creating jobs in the region."
Under the MOU, the signatories will engage in projects focused on reducing global warming pollutants while also providing the states on both sides of the border with clean air, water and reduced exposure to toxic pollutants.

LOL, not to change the topic but isn’t Phelps swimming soon? I can’t find a live thread.
Are they going to stop eating refried beans to cut down on the methane?
I don't know, but I'm quite confident your wallet will be a lot lighter.
"This first-of-its-kind public private partnership highlights Mexico's proven commitment to reduce global warming pollutants ..."
Of course they do it means they get something. How about they crack down on illegal immigration and drugs.
They are going to get green by transferring their population to us and growing more drugs. Who needs dirty factories that actually make things when you have a parasitic, agrarian nacro-economy?
How do you “fight” climate change? I’d like to make it partly cloudy and 68 degrees here everyday.
“How do you “fight” climate change?”
Control the solar flare cycles.
Go get ‘em.

If the SW desert wants to go green, the solution is simple. First of all, the biggest problem is the water shortage, not the heat.
They should pump massive amounts of sea water into manmade basins in the deserts on both sides of the border. Half the water will percolate in the aquifer and by desalted by it is in deep wells. Half the water will evaporate into the air, increase humidity and rain downwind. That rain will increase the growth of GREEN vegetation. Tourist traps can be built on the shores of the manmade lakes to generate revenue also. The water pumped over the hills/mountains to the desert is available for fire fighting with reservoirs at the top of the hills.
It is a win-win solution for all concerned. But it would be opposed by most environmentalists as they don’t really want to solve the problem. They just want to whine.
They aren’t the only ones who just want to whine. Accross the board, most people whining about some problem, both on the right and left, don’t really want to solve those problems and leave them with nothing to whine about.
If they want to fight climate change, they need to take it up with the Climate Creator.

He really is an idiot isn’t he?
Sorry about sending the wrong post, Norman. Just wanted to make sure you’d tuned into Phelps in time...you were supposed to get a separate post. :)
This is a joke, right?
We should just give California to Mexico.
it’s like living in a huge nut house!
They are actually attempting to fight the climate Creator with the weak argument that THEY (i.e., we human taxpayers) are the Climate creators!!!
Given over to deception, thinking the Truth to be the lie.
Stated differently, Mexico can’t or won’t stop crime, illegal immigration, they can’t get their economy going without us, their produce is covered with human $hit,...
And they are supposed to solve climate problems?
Pullease!!!!!!
