RESISTANCE: Arnold
Schwarzenegger Launches Climate Change Project to Combat Trump
by Jerome Hudson 5 Aug 2017
Actor Arnold Schwarzenegger
launched a project Friday that aims to provide all fifty state
legislators with a blueprint to pass climate
change legislation to counter President Donald Trump’s
withdrawal from the Paris climate accord.
The former California governor unveiled
the Digital Environmental Legislative Handbook in partnership with
the Schwarzenegger Institute at the University of Southern California and the
National Caucus of Environmental Legislators:
Schwarzenegger says states do not have to wait for the
federal government to combat climate change.
“There’s no reason why we shouldn’t have a digital
legislative handbook — and make it available to people who wanted to create
environmental action now — because of the situation with Trump,” Schwarzenegger
told
Politico in an interview Thursday.
“With his decision on the Paris agreement, it is even
more so important to make this information available because it shows the kinds
of wonderful things states can do without waiting for the federal government,”
he said.
“The message to legislators with the project is now ‘you
have the power to do it yourselves,”’ Schwarzenegger said. “The reality is each
state now goes to work and passes great legislation that helps them … make
great decisions.”
In June, the Terminator Genisys star called
for a “grassroots
revolution” to continue the battle against global warming after
President Trump withdrew the United States from the Paris climate agreement.
President Trump fulfilled a major campaign promise when
he announced America’s withdrawal from the United Nations-backed measure.
Schwarzenegger took shots at President Trump Friday
during a speech at the National Caucus of Environmental Legislators
conference in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
“America did not drop out of the Paris agreement,”
Schwarzenegger said.
“One man dropped out of the Paris agreement.”
Schwarzenegger has become a leading voice in an
anti-Trump resistance campaign, denouncing the president’s agenda. In February,
he even offered to switch
jobs with Trump “so people can finally sleep comfortably again.”
