Arnold Schwarzenegger says its high time 'every' human being cares about climate change and if you don't, then you'll probably die with the rest of the population.

Arnold Schwarzenegger says its high time 'every' human being cares about climate change and if you don't, then you'll probably die with the rest of the population.

The ex-California governor has been fighting for more to be done to combat climate change.  During the COP21 Climate Change Conference in Paris, the actor posted a lengthy rant on Facebook earlier this month saying:

“I don’t give a **** if we agree about climate change,” he titled the post.

Read his op-letter:

"I see your questions. Each and every time I post on my Facebook page or tweet about my crusade for a clean energy future, I see them.

"There are always a few of you, asking why we should care about the temperature rising, or questioning the science of climate change. I want you to know that I hear you. Even those of you who say renewable energy is a conspiracy. Even those who say climate change is a hoax. Even those of you who use four letter words. I've heard all of your questions, and now I have three questions for you.

"First - do you believe it is acceptable that 7 million people die every year from pollution? That's more than murders, suicides, and car accidents – combined. Every day, 19,000 people die from pollution from fossil fuels. Do you accept those deaths? Do you accept that children all over the world have to grow up breathing with inhalers?

"Now, my second question: do you believe coal and oil will be the fuels of the future? Besides the fact that fossil fuels destroy our lungs, everyone agrees that eventually they will run out. What's your plan then? I, personally, want a plan. I don't want to be like the last horse and buggy salesman who was holding out as cars took over the roads. I don't want to be the last investor in Blockbuster as Netflix emerged. That's exactly what is going to happen to fossil fuels.
