Arnie has eco date with Blair; EXCLUSIVE.

Byline: by OONAGH BLACKMAN, Political Editor

ARNOLD Schwarzenegger will bring a touch of glamour to Tony Blair's final few days at No10 when he flies in to discuss climate change.

The California governor wants to work on a new campaign with the Prime Minister to fight global warming.

And he will discuss a programme of globetrotting lectures and speeches for when Mr Blair retires on June 27.

Arnie is also likely to meet Gordon Brown during his visit in the next fortnight.

A source close to the PM said: "It's about finding radical ways to cut CO2 emissions and he is very keen to see Mr Blair before he goes."

Last year in Los Angeles, Arnie and the Prime Minister signed a deal to promote research into cleaner fuels.

And he proclaimed Mr Blair an "action hero" three months ago for bringing in a climate change bill.

The ex-movie star has become known as the "emissions terminator" for his green policies.

He introduced a global warming solutions act in California last September and wants a 25 per cent cut in emissions by 2020.
