His Schwarzenegger Climate Initiative is one of the backers of the Vatican conference, which is being held at the Holy See’s newly inaugurated environmental educational center in Castel Gandolfo south of Rome. At a news conference, Schwarzenegger was asked about President Donald Trump’s recent comments to the U.N. General Assembly, where he falsely said thatTrump has long been a critic of climate science and policies aimed at helping the world transition to green energies like wind and solar. His administration has rolled back landmark regulations, withdrawn climate project funding and instead bolstered support for oil and gas production in the name of an “American energy dominance” agenda. “Don’t use the federal government as an excuse,” Schwarzenegger told the Vatican briefing. “It’s an easy way out.” He recalled his legal battles with the Bush administration over California’s environmental regulations when he was governor, and a particular victory where “we said ‘Hasta la vista, baby,’” Schwarzenegger said, quoting his famous line from “Terminator 2.” Schwarzenegger said far more important were individual choices about turning off lights when you leave a room and state policies promoting solar power. With its 1.4 billion people, 400,000 priests the Catholic Church also has a critical mass of people who can back environmental initiatives, he said.Copyright 2025 The Associated Press.
