Schwarzenegger isn't looking for re-election, there's a 2 term limit with each term of office being 4 years and he's in his second term. It expires 3rd January next year.

His environmental record is actually very strong by US and especially GOP standards, he signed into law the first greenhouse gas emission cap in the US and has signed further legislation since.
