A Compelling BBC Interview With Arnold Schwarzenegger: The phrase “climate change” versus the word “pollution” as means to changing behavior behavior.

Whatever one may think about Mr. Arnold Schwarzenegger, a two-term governor of the state of California; one of most successful actors, in terms of motion picture revenues; and the most successful body builder, in terms of awards and visibility, he is a master of marketing, messaging, and [self-] promotion. 

In his interview last week with the BBC, the discussion was about messaging: The phrase “climate change” versus the word “pollution” as means to changing behavior by individuals, companies, and governments.   

He provides a compelling argument. 

Parents might benefit from viewing the interview with their children and then discussing it.
