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

5 Min Read

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.

The last Austrian’s name that spewed so much socialist/fascist crap was Adolf Hitler.

Huh? Where the hell did they get that number? Maybe the WHO should be concentrating on stopping a plague outbreak in Africa.

I still maintain California has not had a Republican governor since Pete Wilson. The governator was the same as a Democrat.

He was, and is, Mr. Maria (Kennedy) Schreiver. He still passes himself off as his former self. But when he married her, his manhood went into a lockbox. He sneaked it out ONE time, when philandering with the kitchen help. But politically, Maria OWNS him. IMHO.
