Schwarzenegger: ‘Climate change dialogue’ not going to work

SUMMARY

Former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger emphasized the need for a new approach to addressing climate change, particularly in engaging high-polluting countries like China and India. In an interview with MSNBC's Jonathan Lemire, Schwarzenegger argued that the traditional "climate change dialogue" has been ineffective and suggested a shift towards directly addressing pollution. Drawing parallels to global fitness initiatives, Schwarzenegger advocated for a similar widespread effort to tackle climate issues, emphasizing the message of "terminating pollution." Known for his advocacy on environmental issues during his tenure as governor, Schwarzenegger remains a vocal proponent of clean energy policies despite criticism of global leaders' inaction on 'climate change'.
