Former California Gov.

Former California Gov. and human bicep Arnold Schwarzenegger has a message for climate deniers.

“I don’t give a **** if we agree about climate change,” he wrote in a message on Facebook. The entire note is worth reading, but we especially enjoyed this analogy:

There are two doors. Behind Door Number One is a completely sealed room, with a regular, gasoline-fueled car. Behind Door Number Two is an identical, completely sealed room, with an electric car. Both engines are running full blast.

I want you to pick a door to open, and enter the room and shut the door behind you. You have to stay in the room you choose for one hour. You cannot turn off the engine. You do not get a gas mask.

I’m guessing you chose the Door Number Two, with the electric car, right? Door number one is a fatal choice — who would ever want to breathe those fumes?

This is the choice the world is making right now.

To use one of the four-letter words all of you commenters love, I don’t give a damn if you believe in climate change. I couldn’t care less if you’re concerned about temperatures rising or melting glaciers. It doesn’t matter to me which of us is right about the science.

I just hope that you’ll join me in opening Door Number Two, to a smarter, cleaner, healthier, more profitable energy future.

**** yeah, Ahnold. We’ll join you in opening Door No. 2. Heck, keep talking like that, and we’ll open any ****ing door you like.
