Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and a slew of other California officials are in Copenhagen this week for the COP 15 United Nations Climate Change Conference.
The governor, who has been meeting with leaders from other nations to promote California's environmental policies, was scheduled to give his remarks at 1:30 p.m. local time.
In case you weren't up in the wee hours of the morning to watch, you can click here for a transcript of the governor's prepared remarks.
Assemblywoman Nancy Skinner, D-Berkeley, and Sen. Fran Pavely, are also overseas for the climate talks.
Skinner's been busy documenting the blow by blow of the trip on her blog. And by blow by blow, we mean a really detailed account of her days, including stories of her flight seatmate and a special souvenir she picked up.
"I look like a wookie but my head and ears are warm as the temperature has dropped to about 30 degrees!" she blogged about a new fur hat she was talked into buying.
(RE)DRAWING THE DISTRICTS: Today marks the start of the application period for serving on the 14-member Citizens Redistricting Commission. The panel, established by the voter-approved Proposition 11, will be tasked with redrawing the state Assembly, Senate and Board of Equalization districts after the 2010 census.

HEARINGS: The Senate Transportation and Housing Committee and the Select Committee on State School Facilities hold an informational hearing on future schools construction at 9:30 a.m. in Room 112. The Select Committee on Improving State Government meets in Room 437 for another informational hearing on proposals to overhaul state government. The focus of the 12:30 p.m. hearing is the relationship between state and local government.
BIRTHDAY: Assemblyman Tom Ammiano, D-San Francisco, turns 67 today. We're guessing the governor's office already has its acrostic birthday greeting prepared.
