Schwarzenegger: Let's slap a public health warning on fossil fuels Megan Rowling

BONN, Germany, Nov 12 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Arnold Schwarzenegger, former California governor and Hollywood actor and film producer, issued a challenge on Sunday to governments to start labelling fossil fuels with a public health warning that their use could cause illness and death.
He lauded the World Health Organization (WHO) for sealing a 164-nation tobacco control pact in 2003 that led to consumers of cigarettes and cigars being alerted to the health risks of smoking, including lung cancer.
A similar accord could be put in place for products derived from fossil fuels such as oil and coal, which emit planet-warming gases when burned, said the politician and environmental activist.
“Wouldn’t it be great now if they could... make the same pact with the rest of the world to go and say, ‘Let’s label another thing that is killing you - which is fossil fuels,'” he said to applause on the sidelines of U.N. climate talks in Bonn.
Schwarzenegger suggested telling customers at petrol stations that “what you pump into your tank may kill you”, and plastering oil tankers driving along highways with messages that their contents are dangerous to health.
“Here’s a challenge for you guys,” he said, directly addressing WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, who spoke at the same event.
Schwarzenegger lamented that environmental pollution - estimated to kill more than 9 million people per year in all its forms - was rarely discussed at conferences on climate change. About two-thirds of those deaths are from air pollution.
“This is a massive tragedy - and as depressing and terrifying as it is, we are not talking about it enough,” he said.

Let’s slahp a publik health warning on duh movies that show violenze and shooting and smoking cigars... ehh Ahnuld?
Why do you think they call it 'dope'?
Solution to the tax bill - raise taxes only on California liberals.
Didn’t he shill for gas guzzling HumVees?
Let’s slap a public health warning on steroids, Arnold.
I was going to suggest a public health warning on idiots making public policy, but that would be redundant.
Let’s slap a public health warning on idiots who think they know a lot.
How about on promiscuous gay sex?
Yep. And it goes to show that a government who can’t handle violent criminals can’t be trusted with a gun ownership monopoly.
“Let’s slap a public health warning on liberal politicians........... “
And in the case of Ahnold, his penis!
“Or maybe we could just slap liberal politicians. :)”
Yep, sounds like a good idea! and we should start with Schwarzenegger.
And I heard him say, as he sped away to his climate controlled multi-million dollar estate home
in his taxpayer subsidized custom $250,000 all-electric Mercedes G Class:
“Let’s slap a public health warning on fossil fuels”.
ML/NJ
This piece of excrement so called republican that re hired moonbeams evironazi to F' over California businesses and families should just shut up and hide that ridiculously bad face lift in the deepest darkest hole he can find.
Yes, because yet another warning label that nobody reads will be every bit as effective as all the thousands of other ones have been.
Do these people ever stop to think at all?
Go away, Ah-nuld.
Like all leftists...shilling for his own interest...and the "global cause" doncha know...
Schwarzenegger Institute for State and Global Policy
In 2012, Schwarzenegger helped to found the Schwarzenegger Institute for State and Global Policy, which is a part of the USC Sol Price School of Public Policy at the University of Southern California.[194] The Institute's mission is to "[advance] post-partisanship, where leaders put people over political parties and work together to find the best ideas and solutions to benefit the people they serve" and to "seek to influence public policy and public debate in finding solutions to the serious challenges we face".[195] Schwarzenegger serves as chairman of the Institute.[196]

I remember when Hugh Hewitt was among those leading the parade to elect Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Tom McClintock was the choice of grassroots conservatives. But he got shoved aside by the California GOP establishment... because they really have no use for conservatives... and Arnold was an empty suit whom they could control.
