Guest essay by Eric Worrall
Former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is demonstrating his total disregard for the will of the American People, joining with President Macron of France to do everything in their power to overturn US voters’ decision to embrace President Trump’s repudiation of the Paris Agreement.
Schwarzenegger And Macron Troll Trump Over Climate Change
Former California governor meets in France with “great leader” to talk about environmental issues.

Twitter Video of Arnie and Macron
New best bros Arnold Schwarzenegger and French President Emmanuel Macron met in Paris to talk about the Paris climate agreement and global warming. They also teamed up for a selfie video not-so-surreptitiously aimed at you-know-who: that other president.
The video, posted to Schwarzenegger’s Twitter account on Friday, is labeled: “With President Macron, a great leader.” The former California governor says on it: “I’m here with President Macron. We’re talking about environmental issues and a green future.”
Macron adds: “And now we will deliver together to make the planet great again.”

Trump had previously scorched Schwarzenegger for poor ratings when he took over “Celebrity Apprentice” from the president (though Trump always exaggerated his own ratings).
Schwarzenegger shot back that maybe Trump should head the reality program again, and let Schwarzenegger move into the White House.
I can’t help thinking Macron is going to be a one hit wonder as French President, a bit like Schwarzenegger’s run with The Apprentice.
France has very real problems – out of control illegal immigration related violence, a major domestic terror threat, and a very shaky economy.
President Macron wasting his time grandstanding, taking cheap shots at President Trump, is not doing anything to fix those problems.

I had such hopes for Ahnold- what a disappointment!
He’s always been a liberal. He’s a Kennedy. How is this any less (or more) than expected?
I doubt his Kennedy wife expected him to boink the maid. Hell, I didn’t even expect that.
Oh, goody… The Warmunator vs Inspector Clouseau:
Samurai….. Many Tks for Clouseau..clips. Got almost as good a laugh as reading Griff,s posts.
BTW, did Griff contribute to Anthony’s vacation?
I gave him a useful tip on a place to visit in NZ!
Apparently those steroids eventually have an impact upon one’s mental capacities as well as one’s circulatory system. Or perhaps it’s just something in the air or water in S. California that causes folks to be idiots. Whatever, it seems to be concentrated heavily in Hollywood as well as farther north in Sacramento.
I forgot the Bay area.
I think it is mostly hanging out with the Kennedys that causes viewpoint distortion. If one compares Arnold’s positions with the Kennedys, Arnold is a moderate.
His position on his maid appeared to upset the Kennedys.
Eric Worrall,
Here is a new one for you.

Will this be reported as a result of melting glaciers? How? How soon?
Trump needs to make sure there are no tax deductions for upholders of anti-American policy. By all means let them spend their own money 100%. This won’t last long! They’ll fold fast. Also, while I’m in a forecasting mode. 1)There will be a big wave of headliner retirements from the climate stokers ranks.
2) Younger entrants will segue into luke and neutral clime positions, largely stole… err… inspired by unorganized sceptics’ scientific works. Signs of change are the rapidly increasing influx of women into this former cubby white male bastion, desperado shrill papers on end of world scenarios (this would make for crisp psychological fodder for studies on transference from scientists’ unwitting plaint about the end of their own personal world, if there were any uncorrupted psychologists left on the planet), the cynical Ehrlichest changing of horses in progress by the indestructible climate carp of the sector and the release from political bondage of sceptical scientists.
Proposed new movie title: The Carbonator
Listen, and understand! That Carbonator is out there! It can’t be bargained with. It can’t be reasoned with. It doesn’t feel facts, or reason, or real-world evidence. And it absolutely will not stop… ever, until CO2 technology is dead!
I like the sound of The Carbonator, reminds of the Holly 650 double pumper I installed on my 429 back in high school.
As another alternative name for the Schwartz (with apologies to Mel Brooks) I suggest The Warminator.
Pumping CO2 – Making the Planet Greener.
Remember that France is in the state of emergency since November 2015. That is a mark of a great leadership.
The U.S. is in a state of renewal. That is the mark of great leadership.
Please work on your stutter.
It is easy to get caught up in airhead noise these days with so much of it filling the air. Article I, Section 10 of the Constitution of the United States provides that
“No State shall, without the Consent of Congress … enter into any Agreement or Compact with … a foreign Power …”
Schwarzenegger & Brown’s cackle falls into the big So-What?
Will somebody open a window, please?
I listened to to the Therminator in his interview after meeting Macron. After all these years of living in the West he still has a very pronounced accent.
I distinctly heard him say: “There is no left ear; there is no right ear; we all breathe the same ear. We need to keep Paris” Seems he’s moved on from CO2 and its (claimed) effects. The man’s the south end of a north-facing donkey.
He hopes to become an equal of Leonardo DiCaprio.
He can only hope. No one can ever attain the level of Leonardo.
He’s trying desperately to resurrect a floundering career, by pandering to his Hollywood peers.
He’s already lost his fan base.
did he mention space? The final front ear?
The next time Germany invades France… let ’em.
That’s an awful thing to wish on the Germans.
They already are. What do you think Merkel is up to tthese days.

Must be great to be in as good a shape as Arnie, that’s a mighty long swim for him, all the way across the Atlantic.
Oops, sorry, of course he didn’t swim – he rowed a boat.
Sure got there fast.
Being as concerned as he is about CO2 emissions, there’s no way he’d even consider flying there in a CO2 spewing, fossil fuel powered plane, right? Right???
He had special ”green” fabric sent back from the future and constructed a small sailing vessel of reclaimed plastic products he found lying around the beach and sailed, so he wouldn’t ”pollute” with the plant food that gives the planet life.

“And now we will deliver together to make the planet great again.”
The planet has not been better for a long time, plants are thriving and the planet is greening. The only ones who can not like that are the Greens.
Arnold pretty much goes with the crowd and he’s surrounded by eco-nuts, so that’s his whole perspective. It’s not like you can accuse him of creativity. He has VERY basic business and promotional understanding. His entire career is based on a couple of two and three word catch-phrases that were written for him – basically in one movie – all to keep him from having to say too much.
Perhaps he should just focus on population control by leaving his housekeepers alone.
Trump is an egotistical bully or clown depending on your point of view. He marginally won an election, albeit with fewer votes than crooked H. He certainly is not an expert on climate change or any other science – he hasn’t the intellect for it.
Schwarzenegger has every right to talk to whomsoever he wishes. Whether you agree or disagree with his views on climate change is of course a personal judgement (I largely don’t agree with them).
Vilifying those who hold views at variance to your own should not be a feature of the greatest democracy in the world, but a behaviour expected of a despot or dictator.
You’ve forgotten the sarc-tag, lovely terry
‘Trump is an egotistical bully or clown depending on your point of view.’
So, since you said so, I guess those are the only two options.
Talk about ego.
Schwarzenegger has a proclivity for showing poor judgment, not the least of which is his affair and subsequent child with a housekeeper.

But what you accuse others of appears to be what you have just done.
I guess leading by example…
Actually we all have good reason to believe several million of Hillary’s votes are fake.
Trump seems to be an expert on climate change, he said it’s a scam. It is a scam.
Trump certainly mastered the science of staying competitive in a changing high stakes world.
Which part of ”climate signts” do you think is science Terry? The part about insulation being able to stop light from arriving at the earth, but make the earth warm like more light reached it?
You don’t need a science degree to figure out that never was, isn’t now, and never will be science.

They seem to have stepped into the marvel universe? Captain Planet and his sidekick the Smug Windbag! Let’s all plant a tree in our neighbours garden to celebrate this union of mindless!
They seek their reward…..50.000 virgins? Surely not …..

Arnie has really turned into a disappointment.
It’s a conference/tourism issue for France and burning lots of jet fuel to get there is just part of the sacrifices that have to be made.
