Hollywood star and politician Arnold Schwarzenegger said at the climate forum that we must "stop the bleeding" to "save our planet", while discussion of finding solutions to combat climate change, DPA reported, quoted by BTA.

The Austrian World Summit, founded by the star of "Terminator" and his 2017 Schwarzenegger Climate Initiative, launched yesterday in Vienna to bring people, business and industry together to find ways to solve the climate crisis.

During his opening speech, the 76-year-old actor called the meeting participants to action and asked them to do "whatever it takes" to solve the problems caused by greenhouse gases.

He said: "Imagine a world without pollution. Imagine it without death from exhaust, oil, smoke or coal. Imagine your children and grandchildren playing in clean lakes and rivers and breathing fresh air."

He added: "What would you do to make this vision a reality? I know my answer - all it takes. Whatever it takes."

"Stop the bleeding, save our children, save the planet, save our future. I know you have a brain, I know you have a heart. And I know you have the power - so let's do it."

The star of "Terminator" has campaigned on environmental issues since his time as governor of California, where in 2006 he signed the Global Warming Solutions Act, which created the first U.S. cap on greenhouse gas emissions, as well as a number of other initiatives to the climate in the state.

During the climate meeting, Clemens Hallmann, an Austrian entrepreneur and filmmaker, presented a documentary called DreamScapes, starring Kate Winslet as Mother Earth.
