As Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa [link: pronunciation for out-of-towners] and UK Prime Minister Tony Blair wrap of a day of round table discussions with California's governor, et al, and sit down for their "private meeting" on climate, the Natural Resources Defense Council [link:PDF], Assemblywoman Fran Pavley and I would like to remind everybody that:

1. According to a Public Policy Institute of California survey released last week, 49 percent of Californians believe global warming is a "very serious threat."

2. Assembly Bill 32,"The Global Warming Solutions Act," has been authored by Assembly Speaker Fabian Nuñez and Assemblymember Fran Pavley to require a 25 percent reduction in statewide emissions of greenhouse gases by 2020 (a noble, but hardly excessive -- or perhaps even adequte [just me talking there] goal).

3. (Only me talking again): Strange butterflies are showing up in Scotland.
