COP21: Arnold Schwarzenegger: 'Go part-time vegetarian to protect the planet'
BBC ^ | December 8, 2015 | Roger Harrabin

Former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger says people should go meat-free one or two days a week to protect the climate.

Meat-eating was an environmental problem, with farming creating an estimated 28% of global greenhouse gases, the body-builder and movie star told BBC News.

Asking people to go totally vegetarian would be too demanding, he said.

It would better to suggest giving up meat once or twice a week, he added.

Arnold must eat a lot of steak if him not eating meat 2 days a week affects how much beef is slaughtered.

Telling me what to eat?

Arnold, here’s some advice.

Be faithful to your wife and keep it in your pants.

Oh, and don’t lie about it.

POS

Something happens to humans when they become successful, acquire money and fame, then suddenly have political power; their moral and intellectual facilities become degraded, devoid of any ultimate moral discernment. This jackass former governor who lost his wife due to adultery has no moral or intellectual compass. Go away fool, take your money, go away and stop telling us what to do when you yourself never follow your foolish fiats.

My diet is already part vegetarian.

Baked potato with my steak,
Kaiser roll with my hamburger,
Cole slaw with my pulled pork BBQ.

Done my part for the planet, don’t you think, Ahnold?

Hey Arnie!

Who told you humans are capable of affecting the climate?

You should punch them in the mouth for making you look like an idiot!

It is a LIE that famring causes 28% of the CO2 in atmosphere

The atmosphere has just 0.04% CO2 from ALL sources- man’s Co2 is just 3.4% of that- Anyone can look this up for themselves-

the total amount of CO2 In atmosphere from man is takes up just 0.0036% of the atmosphere

Only and idiot would think that 0.0036% of our atmosphere is capable of capturing enough heat to cause climate change

Arnold gives us unsolicited advice concerning saving the planet, as he flies around in private jets and lives in a huge mansion.
