Why Arnold Schwarzenegger Wants Us To Focus On “Pollution” Rather Than “Climate Change”
PublishedArnold Schwarzenegger has been one of the few Republican champions of climate action. 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. He’s also been a top-notch climate communicator. 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.
Now, this isn’t a novel discovery or idea. The argument Schwarzenegger makes has been made before — has been made for years — and I already found it to be a compelling approach. Unfortunately, it is primarily ignored. “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
. He added that climate change sounds subtle, warm, welcoming, whereas pollution comes with a directly and fully negative connotation — a personal one.still scares people, including people far from the battle, because we know it means early death, cancer, asthma, heart disease, and more., we can stir up more action from people. Pollution is something that people can viscerally feel and sense.
So, indeed, Arnold does care about climate change and does care about protecting our Earth. But he realizes that most do not so easily feel alarmed by the crisis and need something more direct, more personal to reach them. “I’m on a mission to go and reduce greenhouse gases worldwide, because I’m into having a healthy body and a healthy Earth,” Schwarzenegger said. “That’s what I’m fighting for, and that’s my crusade.
