Actor and environmental activist Arnold Schwarzenegger flew in to join Pope Leo XIV in Rome on Tuesday to address a climate conference and deliver a message for all the Catholics in the world that the time has come to “terminate climate change.”
AFP reports the three-day gathering marks the 10th anniversary of late Pope Francis’s landmark climate manifesto “Laudato Si”, an appeal for action on human-caused global warming.
Ahead of the event, Schwarzenegger downplayed the Trump administration’s climate skepticism and threw his weight behind the Vatican’s environmental initiative.
