@Li789 You published the photo of Arnie, but not what he said, and I quote:
‘Cut pollution by 25pc
’Regarding the debate over net zero targets, he continued:
“It’s all bogus.“Because that’s not the argument. T
he argument is, how do we go and terminate pollution? It’s not fighting about net zero or, oh, how many percentage points have you rolled it back from the 1990 level.
“What’s 1990 to do with anything?
I’s just a stupid dialogue.
Let’s just start rolling back the pollution output by 25 per cent. And that’s exactly what we did in California.
”
During his premiership, the former bodybuilder oversaw the signing of landmark legislation that reduced California’s greenhouse gas emissions.
He also improved infrastructure to reduce congestion and keep the air clean.
However, he suggested that environmentalists had suffered from poor marketing and had therefore struggled to communicate effectively with the masses.
“
Environmentalists – their heart is in the right place and I’m very fond of their work,” he added.
“But their communication skills really suck.”
My own comment: the entire scientific background to our changing climate is difficult and complex and weather events often seem to contradict to what is expected. It is not until you get the entire overall picture that it becomes clear that things are not what they were and we better get ready for a different way of life.
Mankind will survive even cataclysmic climate events, but only if we, collectively, decide to change our life styles.
Arguing on social pages won't make one iota of difference, a more conscious and less wasteful way of life has to become the mantra for all of us.
