They are issues everyone cares about."Calling Cameron a "dynamic leader," he praised Cameron's leadership on climate change, which has forced it high up the British political and social agenda."By being a strong and forceful voice on climate change, David Cameron has revived your Conservative Party's green heritage and helped strengthen Britain's resolve to set an example on this issue," the Republican California governor said."That is the kind of leadership people are hungry for. They want action and results, not ideology and stalemate."They prefer progress with messy compromise, over defeat with pristine principles," Schwarzenegger noted.
