00:00Religion and climate change can go hand in hand.
00:04Actor and former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger showed his support for the Vatican's climate initiative on Tuesday.
00:11He headlined a three-day conference to mark the 10-year anniversary of the late Pope Francis' environmental initiative, Laudato Si.
00:19I'm very happy that I am invited here because I think that this is a very important moment
00:25that the Catholic Church is participating in this environmental movement.
00:32Because I've always said that this can only be accomplished if everyone works together.
00:39There's not one single human being that can manage and is able to terminate all the pollution.
00:50The actor also recalled his climate initiatives when he was governor of the state of California.
00:56We showed to them that with the strictest environmental laws,
01:00we were able to reduce our greenhouse gases, our pollutions, by 25 percent.
01:09We added a million solar roofs.
01:12We increased the renewables from 19 percent to 70 percent.
01:18We did the cap and trade, the green building initiative, one law and one principle after the other.
01:26And you know what happened with the economy?
01:29California does not only have the strictest environmental laws and has made the only progress in the United States.
01:36But we are also number one economically.
01:40Earlier in the week, Schwarzenegger had also criticized US President Donald Trump over his disbelief in climate change.
01:50Hello, everyone.
01:52I'm not no longer know.
