Climate activist and scolder of world leaders Greta Thunberg will be travelling to various North American events this month – including one in Montreal – in a Tesla Model 3, courtesy of none other than Arnold Schwarzenegger.

The actor-turned-politician apparently made the offer after learning of her travel plans in Canada and the States during this leg of her climate crusade.

While your author and many others associate Terminator and Predator movies with the former California governor, Schwarzenegger has lately been using his influence as a call to action on environmental issues.

This friendship between Schwarzenegger and Thunberg may seem random, but the two have been on the same climate page for ages. The muscle-bound actor said he was “starstruck” after meeting the young activist earlier this year at an environmental summit in Vienna. Given his willingness to help her with her efforts right now on this side of the pond, it’s safe to say the sixteen-year-old made quite an impression on him.

Schwarzenegger isn’t new to the electric car scene, having had a Hummer H1 converted to electric power by an outfit called Kreisel Electric. Those of us with long memories will recall the actor was one of the first (if not the first) to take delivery of a civilian Humvee when they were released to the general public back in the 1990s. An electric conversion, then, ties the man’s then-and-now interests together very well.

After taking the world to task in a speech delivered at the UN last week, Thunberg continued to Montreal where she lead an estimated 500,000 people on that day’s climate strike. These events, held around the world, are intended to highlight climate change and spur people into taking real action.
