Arnold Schwarzenegger gives thumbs up to PM Narendra Modi, says Gujarat is California of India

The former California governor, who has earned a reputation as a climate change activist, thanked and lauded Prime Minister Modi for his work.​

NEW DELHI: Hollywood action-movie star Arnold Schwarzenegger today said he would be a "terminator" for climate change and asked state governments to follow Narendra Modi's "actions" as Gujarat Chief Minister to achieve sustainable development goals.

The former California governor, who has earned a reputation as a climate change activist, thanked and lauded Prime Minister Modi for his work, including as Chief Minister of Gujarat, to push for sustainable development and clean energy.

He said "Gujarat is California of India" and Modi had certainly created "good action".

Appreciating the progress made by Gujarat on climate change front, he said this showed that the state governments have tremendous power with them and they need not wait for the Central government for any action.

The film star, who is also the chair of R20 Regions of Climate Action - a non-profit organization - was addressing the 15th Delhi Sustainable Development Summit (DSDS) organised by the Energy Resource Institute (TERI).

"This is a challenge of our time and that is why I am on a crusade for a sustainable future and terminate climate change once and for all," Schwarzenegger said.

The film-star turned American politician expressed hope that India, under Modi's leadership, would play a key role in the UN climate negotiations in Paris in December this year.

"I know that India would be a big player in negotiations and I trust that the Prime Minister would do everything that he can," he said.

The United Nations is pushing for an international climate agreement in Paris later this year that will limit global warming to two degrees Celsius over pre-Industrial Revolution levels.

Schwarzenegger also praised India's recent objective of achieving 100 GW solar energy target in five years.

"I promise you...I would continue my crusade, I would continue the firing, I would never give up... till create a green and sustainable energy future," said Schwarzenegger.

Arnold could not be more wrong. Though Gujarat is most industrialised and Rich state of India, it is India's most conservative Hindu majority state of India; and hate for california type financially irresponsible, homo and muzzie loving Pinkos run deep in that state.

It is more of Texas with economic muscle.

It seems like Indians haven’t even read the article. His advocating India to develop in a sustainable manner. Which is unfair to ask from a developing country especially when the technology isn't really there. If he wants to help the environment his should be pushing US government to invest more into renewable energy or he can do his part and stop driving that massive humvee.
