But he realizes that most do not so easily feel alarmed by the crisis and need something more direct, more personal to reach them. So, indeed, Arnold does care about climate change and does care about protecting our Earth. ![]() Pollution creates climate change, and pollution kills.” “So my thing is, let’s go and rephrase this and communicate differently about it and really tell people we’re talking about pollution. “Climate change” sounds mild, almost comfortable, to those of us who aren’t already terrified of it - and for those of us terrified of it, we don’t really need more of a scare.

He added that climate change sounds subtle, warm, welcoming, whereas pollution comes with a directly and fully negative connotation - a personal one. “As long as they keep talking about global climate change, they are not gonna go anywhere, because no one gives a s–t about that,” Schwarzenegger told CBS News.

But, as it turns out, the “ I’ll be back” guy is talented at both short-form and long-form statements on the climate crisis. Talking about climate change in an effective way is a humongous challenge, especially on the Republican side of the aisle, and he’s been a star in that regard. He’s also been a top-notch climate communicator. ![]() That’s not to say he’s been perfect on the topic, but he has been serious about wanting to address global heating and disruptive climate change. Arnold Schwarzenegger has been one of the few Republican champions of climate action. ![]()
