Former Governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Twitter update on visiting the Schwarzenegger Climate Initiative ahead of the Austrian World Summit in Vienna is turning into a battle zone. Soon after a user retweeted his post, pointing out his private jet ownership, the former bodybuilder tried to correct the user’s presumptions. Yet, the effort backfired, as numerous other users criticized the actor. 

Another critical insight on the matter asked about Schwarzenegger’s dislike for energy companies while assuming that he probably uses energy sources more than other people in the world, given his opulence. Therefore, the star once again looked to clarify his stance. This, in turn, left him receiving more flak from the community. 

Arnold Schwarzenegger stays firm and voice against environmental issues

After the 75-year-old icon clarified yesterday that it was a commercial flight he was traveling on, he further slammed the user for making presumptions about him, per sources. Little did he know, he would have to do it all over again and for a range of users. The critical insights varied from speculations on acid rain to crediting Former POTUS Richard Nixon for driving change through the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

However, a particular user boldly stated, “What’s wrong with energy companies? Why do you hate them? You probably use more of their product than 99% of people on earth.” This triggered a response from the IFBB pro, perplexed over the use of the word “hate.” He wrote, “Hate? I don’t hate anyone. We wouldn’t be where we are without fossil fuels.”

Internet baffled over Arnold Schwarzenegger’s take on climate change issues
