Gov Schwarzenegger at the Yale Climate Change Conference

The Governator says Environmentalism is sexy:
Successful movements are built on passion. They're built on confidence. They're built on Teddy Roosevelt's bully pulpit. They're built on critical mass and often they're built on an element of alarm that galvanizes action.

I believe the environmental movement is switching over from being powered by guilt to being powered by something much more positive, something much more dynamic, something much more capable of bringing about revolutionary change. Its image is also changing from one of hand‑wringing and whining to one that is hip, an image that is cutting edge, forceful and self‑confident and even sexy.
He whines a bit about environmentalists blocking power lines, but for the most part, it's amazing how... well, how the climate has changed. :)
