The 72-year-old actor praised Thunberg, even more, saying, ” I think that is a very, very compelling story and I think politicians are listening to that.”
Schwarzenegger also took a subtle dig at Republicans saying ” I considered myself when I was governor, a public servant not a party servant, even though I was a Republican,” he then said, “I never did what the party told me to do.” (RELATED: Arnold Swarzenegger Calls Trump A ‘Wet Noodle’ For Press Conference Performance)

She sailed from Europe to the US in a “Emission-free racing yacht.” She also made rounds when she gave a passionate speech on climate change to the United Nations. And now, she is being praised by Arnold Schwarzenegger.
