Schwarzenegger: Make climate hip

Sunday, April 15, 2007

Who would have thought that the man who started his filmography with the movie - Hercules in New York - would go to become the second-time Mayor of California and a climate spokesperson !! California today has the toughest laws in the world when it comes to pollution.

Making climate hip was his advice to students. Well, it is hip today to some extent. Greenpeace activists are hip. An association with Richard Gere is hip. But still the climate is not changing for the good...

Making Climate Hip is not as easy as making going to gym hip. There is trillions of dollars of investments on stake in the former...do u think Shell and ExxonValdezMobil, with lakhs of people on their payroll, billions of dollars of profits and revenues and undisputedly strong political clout would agree to the demands of the climatists of they were "hip"? I dont think so...

One quote from Arnold's speech is worth mentioning....

"Successful movements aren't built on guilt, they are built on passion"

Well, thats Arny for you...he didnt bcome the Mayor of California for nothing!
