Arnold Schwarzenegger has called for a planetary transformation to save the world from climate change.
The Governor of California said an international agreement at Copenhagen will usher in a new era of renewable energy and economic growth through manufacturing green technology.
Even if a deal cannot be done between nation states, he said cities and regions such as California are moving forward in transforming their industries and individual lifestyles.
And he offered to host a summit for sub-national governments such as California and London to make sure climate change is tackled on a regional level.
Speaking in the Danish capital, Mr Schwarzenegger said the world could take inspiration from the both the citys carbon conscious lifestyle and its heritage as the home of story teller Hans Christian Andersen.
There is a statue of the Little Mermaid in the harbour based on the Hans Christian Anderson fairytale, but when I was a boy in Austria my favourite tale was the Ugly Duckling because it was a tale of transformation that spoke to me inside. I have always believed in personal transformation, he said.
The desire and hope and desperate need for planetary transformation is what brought me here. Is it a dream, a fairly tale, a false hope? If not how can we make it real?

"Listen, and understand. That climate-change cultist is out there. It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until the economy is dead."

Abort all Democrats and globalists, regardless of how many trimesters old they are.
That would result in a magnificent planetary transformation.
Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Ya. He's a real expert on "transformation" alright.
Hey Ahnuld, the first picture is an economy feeding on freedom steak. The second is an economy on pseudo-Republican socialism.

Yeah, well my boy Arnold is just shy of being retired. Thank heaven. Perhaps the populace will get a good option, perhaps not. If it’s a real Conservative, I hope the populace gets informed, decides to toss destructive liberalism into the ash heap, and go back to the basics this nation was founded on.
Arnie is a real expert on economic growth isn’t he.
