Schwarzenegger calls climate change 'the issue of our time'

Former Californian governor and Terminator actor Arnold Schwarzenegger is calling for more to be done to combat climate change.

Addressing a small group at the Munich Security Conference yesterday, he labelled climate change the “issue of our time” and outlined a new policy paper called the Future of Energy.

He said many nations could take heed from the Californian experience, which had experienced a jump in the number of jobs linked to the green energy industry.

Mr Schwarzenegger said the issue shouldn't be politicised and people should work together for solutions.

“We should be fighting climate change right now,” he told the conference.

“We all breathe the same air.”
