Schwarzene­gger would time travel to terminate fossil fuels

-

ARNOLD SCHWARZENE­GGER SAYS he wishes he could travel back in time like the cyborg he played in The Terminator so he could stop use of fossil fuels.

“If we would’ve never started in that direction and used other technology, we’d be much better off,” the actor said on Monday at the UN climate conference in Poland. “The biggest evil is fossil fuels: it’s coal, it’s gasoline, it’s the natural gas,” he told delegates.

Schwarzene­gger also insisted that the US was “still in” an internatio­nal accord to curb global warming despite US President Donald Trump’s decision to walk away from the agreement.

He said American states, cities, businesses and citizens can do a lot to curb global warming, and representa­tives from those arenas should be invited to next year’s climate conference.

“And if you do that, I promise you: I’ll be back,” he said in another reference to The Terminator.

Schwarzene­gger said he has converted his signature Humvee trucks to run on hydrogen, electricit­y and biofuel and he only eats meat thrice a week. “I mean, maybe it tastes delicious, but I think we should think then and there before we eat about the world and about the pollution,” he said.

“So I discontinu­ed eating meat four days a week. And eventually, maybe we’ll go to seven days.”
