Schwarzenegger: ‘Pollution Is the Thing that Actually Kills 7 Million People a Year’

EXCERPT:

SCHWARZENEGGER: "And, you know, I just want to, right off the top, correct you, because you said it’s climate change. I want you to talk about fighting pollution, because we have to terminate pollution. And that’s what I always say. I use my movie lines, 'Hasta la vista, pollution.' So this is the kind of things you have to talk about. Climate change, most people don’t understand and they don’t care about any of that stuff. I think they care about pollution because pollution is the thing that actually kills 7 million people a year. You know, climate change, you know, with all the bad weather and the storms and the floods and all of this stuff that kills maybe 25,000 people, which is, of course, 25,000 people too many, but pollution kills 7 million. So this is why I always stress pollution rather than climate change."
