In his Q&A today with the Commonwealth Club of San Francisco, there were some words of praise from California’s Republican governor for the former Democratic presidential nominee, and his popular movie on global warming.

Governor Schwarzenegger was asked had he seen Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth, a movie on the threats from global warming… and one that some GOP stalwarts have talked about in less than flattering terms.

But not Schwarzenegger.

“I loved Al Gore’s movie,” the governor said. “I think it was a fantastic movie. I think he did a great job. “

And Schwarzenegger reiterated that he stands squarely with Gore on the issue of global warming. “He’s right, he’s absolutely right. We’ve got to do everything we can to protect this Earth and protect this environment.”
