Arnold Schwarzenegger blast Donald Trump over his Paris withdrawal

Former Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger has become the latest person to attack US president, Donald Trump over his decision to withdraw the US from Paris climate deal, saying “One man cannot go back in time — only I can do that.”


The Hollywood star in a powerful video message said; 

“one man cannot stop our clean energy revolution” or “destroy our progress”.

According to him, as a public servant, the President’s first responsibility was to “protect the people”, 200,000 of whom die each year from air pollution in the US alone.

“Please Mr President, choose the future,” he begged. “No one remembers the people who told President Kennedy not to go to the Moon. We remember the great leaders.

“The great leaders that don’t walk backwards into the past but great leaders that charge forward towards the future.”

Trump on Thursday withdraw the US from the Paris agreement to curb climate change, a move critics described as “catastrophic” and “reckless”.

The move puts the US at odds with 194 other countries  — that signed up to the deal in 2015, which is designed to slow global warming and rising sea levels.
