Nearly four decades after entering California politics, Jerry Brown has reinvented himself yet again, this time as a carbon-fighting attorney general.In less than a year as the state’s top law enforcement official, the former governor, presidential candidate and Oakland mayor has emerged as a major player in the national debate on global warming.
With threats, petitions, negotiated deals and a series of lawsuits, the Democratic attorney general has used his new post to pressure automakers, county governments and the Bush administration to curb emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases blamed for warming the planet.
