A host of celebrities have taken to social media to express their outrage at President Donald Trump after he pulled the U.S. out of the Paris climate change accord.

Former California Governor and Hollywood star Arnold Schwarzenegger tore into Trump's decision in a video uploaded online on Thursday evening.

However the actor managed to add a joke to his serious message saying he is the only man able to go back in time to stop 'our clean energy revolution' in reference to the Terminator's ability to time travel in his movies and Trump's supposed wish to halt 'progress' in terms of world carbon omissions.

Schwarzenegger said: 'One man cannot destroy our progress, one man can't stop our clean energy revolution, one man can't go back in time, only I can do that.

'My message to you Mr President is that, as a public servant, especially as a president, your first and most important responsibility is to protect the people.'

He added: 'We remember the Great Leaders. The leaders who don't go backwards in the past, but great leaders who charge forwards towards the future.'

Schwarzenegger's decrying of Trump was echoed by actor and climate change activist Leonardo DiCaprio who took to Twitter to announce his frustration.

The Titanic star wrote: 'Today, our planet suffered. It's more important than ever to take action.'

DiCaprio, who was labelled a hypocrite after making a stop over at last year's Cannes Film Festival in a gas guzzling private jet to collect a 'green' award, released a more lengthy status on his Instagram page.

'The future livability of our planet was threatened by President Trump's careless decision to withdraw the United States from the Paris Agreement. Our future on this planet is now more at risk than ever before,' DiCaprio said.

Serial Tweeter J.K. Rowling also joined in the online tirade against Trump by sharing a photo of the front cover of a German newspaper that had an explicit message for the president.

The Harry Potter author captioned the tweet: 'Very much enjoying the German press at the moment. 'Earth to Trump...''

Outspoken pop star Katy Perry, who backed Hillary Clinton for the November 2016 presidential elections, took to Twitter to vent her frustration.

'I ask humbly to remember your children, their children & all children will be left to live w/the results of your decision,' the staunch critic of Trump said.

Meet the Parents funnyman Ben Stiller labelled the move as a 'huge step backward' and said the U.S. 'should be leading the world on this (climate change).'

Others such Michael Moore were more scathing with their opprobrium of the move, with the filmmaker exclaiming he now lived in a 'rogue state.'

In another Twitter post he said: 'Trump just committed a crime against humanity. This admitted predator has now expanded his predatory acts to the entire plane.'

George Takei, most known for his portrayal of Hikaru Sulu in Star Trek had further criticism for his president.

The humorous Tweet read: 'Trump is having the U.S. pull out of the Paris Climate Accord. Too bad someone didn't tell his father that he shoulda pulled out, too.'

Elon Musk, the Tesla billionaire, said he was quitting advising the White House, tweeting: 'Leaving Paris is not good for America or the world.'

Fashion designer and environmental campaigner Vivienne Westwood told Good Morning Britain that Donald Trump's decision to pull out of the Paris accord was a 'terrible disaster'.

Vivienne also said she was 'disappointed' in Theresa May's reaction to Trump's decision to withdraw the United States from the global agreement to fight climate change.

Despite a slew of criticism from across the globe, including world leaders, Trump seemed unperturbed by his decision and released a series of Tweets after his speech at the White House where he revealed the US would be withdrawing from the accord.

Trump Tweeted that he would 'do everything within my power to give America a level playing field' and then in a separate message repeated his campaign slogan, 'Make American Great Again.'

During his address yesterday Trump told off naysayers in a lengthy explanation of his decision and the effect he expects it to have on the US economy.

'The Paris Agreement handicaps the United States economy in order to win praise from the very foreign capitals and global activists that have long sought to gain wealth at our country's expense. They don't put America first. I do and I always will,' he said.

He outlined what he said the accord would do to the American economy: 2.7 million lost jobs by 2025; $3 trillion in lost GDP by 2050; and an average household income loss of $7,000.

Trump said he would be willing to get back in the accord, or one that has the same goals, but only if he is allowed to renegotiate the terms of the United States' participation.
