Schwarzenegger bikes through Paris, calling out Trump on climate
2017-12-13
[TheHill] Former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R) on Monday went after President Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Paris climate agreement, biking to the French capital's city hall to discuss the issue with the mayor.

Photos and videos posted online show Schwarzenegger waving and grinning as he rides on a green bike, wearing a green tie.

The action star spoke at an event focused on climate change that was hosted by R20, a nonprofit he co-founded.

"It doesn’t matter that Donald Trump backed out of the Paris agreement, because the private sector didn’t drop out, the public sector didn’t drop out, the universities didn’t drop out, the scientists didn’t drop out, the engineers didn’t drop out.... No one else dropped out," Schwarzenegger said, according to The Los Angeles Times.
Which is as it should be. President Trump’s point is that it is not the job of the federal government to waste taxpayer money on such things. Everyone else is free to waste their money as they — and in the case of sub-federal government entities, as their voters’ elected representatives — please.
Trump in June announced that the United States would withdraw from the Paris climate accord, calling the agreement "unfair at the highest level." The decision placed the U.S. at odds with the rest of the world ‐ every other country on Earth has signed onto the deal.
Yes, however in science it isn’t the consensus that wins, but the one individual who is more right than everyone else.
Schwarzenegger has emerged as a prominent voice on the subject of climate change
Penance for boinking the housekeeper?
In 2011 he founded R-20, an international organization with backing from the United Nations that works to fund green infrastructure efforts.
