Arnold Schwarzenegger sat down to talk with life-long friend, and Director, James Cameron via video call to speak about a cause which is close to both their hearts; the environment and our future.
Mr. Schwarzenegger is the founder of the Austrian World Summit, which is a climate protection conference which he put into motion with organizer Monika Langthaler. It’s an event where businesses, politicians and even non-governmental organizations are all invited and welcomed to the Vienna Hofburg to participate in discussion and in actively creating an alliance for climate protection.
We’ve seen both Arnold and Jim champion green energy, and be strong activists in the global warming movement and the crisis our world is facing.
One of Schwarzenegger’s last actions as Governor on the world stage was to found the R20 climate network in 2011; the Austrian World Summit (which is part of that network) shows Arnold continuing his passion for global championing of environmentalism and activism to his mother land (and birth country) Austria.
In the one-on-one between the Terminator creator and his star, and leading cybernetic assassin; we see the shared passion and enthusiasm, and the common goal of preserving the future (the underlying message of the Terminator story) and the preservation of our humanity and mankind.
James Cameron has completely removed meat from his diet by going fully Vegan, he even launched America’s first all vegan school MUSE school in California – while Arnold has opted to reduce his meat intake significantly over the years, for the reducing of his carbon footprint and health benefits…
Back in 2016 we saw Arnold and Jim participate in the ‘5 to do today’ campaign and the sub-campaign of “Rise of the Vegan“.
The campaign primarily encouraged China to alter its behaviour towards animals, and its overall meat consumption. China remains ‘one’ of the world’s worst offenders regarding Co2 emissions, and their carbon footprint with animal agriculture, but some improvements have been made and 2020’s signalling by the Chinese government of the possible end and criminalization of canine meat consumption – is the start of much needed re-adjustments, especially in a post COVID-19 world.
Wait though… don’t these guys take private jets everywhere? Regular old Joe public’s carbon footprint can never be as huge as these guys… ?
Well, one would hope, that due to the gargantuan success Mr. Schwarzenegger and Mr. Cameron have, that they have a strong opportunity to level out their footprint by providing the world with green energy…
We may just be seeing more vegan cheese factories, bean farms, solar energy / renewable energy firms, born from the Schwarzenegger and Cameron empires, and it could bring jobs / opportunities to the world and more importantly clean / renewable energy sources.
While we really don’t like mixing our Terminator with politics; we will however agree that the future generations do deserve to receive an environment / planet better which is in a better condition than the generation before left it.
All governments and world leaders should have global environmental efforts in place – with an ongoing discourse about the future, and the management of the climate crisis. We should all be able to agree on that and if we can’t then it’s our childen’s children who will have to life with the results of our actions.
We apologise for the interruption. Normal programing will resume shortly…
AVATAR 2 + 3
UPDATE
When asked about Avatar progress James Cameron told Arnold:
“I’m down in New Zealand shooting, we’re shooting the, the remainder of the live-action. We’ve got about ten percent left to go. We’re a hundred percent complete on Avatar 2, and we’re sort of ninety-five percent complete on Avatar 3.”
James Cameron
For those Terminator Fans anticipating the big-screen directorial return of James Cameron then this news will come as a relief, especially after all of those delays that the entire Avatar franchise has faced.
As of now Avatar 2 is estimated for release December 2022.
