Leonardo DiCaprio has signed an open letter to new US President Joe Biden urging him to tackle the climate crisis.
Last week, President Biden returned the US to the Paris Agreement – an international pact determined to combat the climate crisis. In 2017, Donald Trump withdrew America from the agreement.
Writing on Instagram, DiCaprio said: “The time for us to confront the #ClimateCrisis is now.”
He added: “Today, I join world leaders from business, government, labor and the environmental movement in calling on President @JoeBiden @POTUS to be the climate leader we need and that science demands.”
DiCaprio linked the letter to President Biden which was signed by figures from the entertainment, climate and science industry.
“The task ahead is enormous: the need to tackle the devastating global health crisis and economic crises, and the need to unite Americans in doing so, is urgent,” the letter stated.
“As we recover from Covid-19 and rebuild the global economy, we must also act on climate change. In fact, these are not separate missions; they are one and the same. This is the most decisive decade in human history to confront the climate crisis.”
You can read the full letter and see all the signatories below:
It continued: “You can be remembered as the “climate president” who led humanity away from the cliff’s edge. You can transform the world’s energy systems from fossil fuels to clean energy, while also creating an abundance of jobs, reducing harmful pollution, and tackling economic, racial, and health inequality in the process.
“Choosing to take bold leadership will allow us the build back better and to build forward to a new world we can create together. ‘By rejoining the Paris Agreement on day one, you have moved the United States in the right direction.
But, as you have stated, it is simply not enough and we must ‘do all we possibly can.'”
DiCaprio has been vocal throughout his career about issues relating to climate change. He started a foundation in 1998 with the aim of “protecting the world’s last wild places.”
Back in 2019, DiCaprio met teenage climate change activist Greta Thunberg, calling her a “leader of our time.”
“History will judge us for what we do today to help guarantee that future generations can enjoy the same livable planet that we have so clearly taken for granted,” he continued. “I hope that Greta’s message is a wake-up call to world leaders everywhere that the time for inaction is over.”
Probably wrote it on his private jet while flying to his next “vacation” in Thailand.
Separation of church of state, Leo.
Well, the UN said recently that the US doesn’t need to sign onto the Paris Climate Accord because the US has met and exceeded the requirements without joining.
Is Leonardo going to pay the salaries of all the people made unemployed by Biden’s climate change policies?
The hypocrisy of this little turd is astounding and if anyone tries to debate him on climate chage, he’s such a coward that he either runs away or gets one his guards to chase the person away.
The un just released their report saying our country has done “such a good job reducing co2 on their own that there is no need for the us to join the Paris agreement”
But of course Biden and all his socialist america hating ilk are so lustful to give away our sovereignty that they will gleefully ignore the report and go running into the arms of the agreement with eyes shut tight.
Wealthy actors have gigantic carbon footprints.
If they really cared about the planet, they would kill themselves.
They would at least let homeless people or illegal Immigrants live in all the bedrooms of all their houses except enough for themselves, their families and one guestroom in one house.
*that humorous noise made by scratching a record player needle across the record*
STOP EVERYTHING!!! A celebrity is writing about climate change! We must do whatever he says or we’re all doomed in *checks watch* 9.4 years.
Dear Leonardo,
Thank you for your recent correspondence. You have obviously borne the brunt of the disastrous effects of Climate Change but,God love ya, you have played the hand that life has dealt you and used it to become one of our most celebrated underground crime fighters.
Give my regards to Raphael, Michelangelo and the other Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle whose name I always forget.
And of course, your wonderful mentor, Mentor. Or was that Speed Racer's mentor?
Whatever.
By the power of Greyskull,
Joe
Lol!
Leonardo wants to make Greta proud of him.
Maybe he should get her face tattooed on his back, like a Tramp Stamp.
Yeah, well jb is likely to have him to the WH soon. Another photo op for old jb, Leo won’t even notice the cognitive decline.
He should write a letter to himself on his own health crisis, why he is fat, doesn’t exercise and smokes.
Donatello........................
Being a super parrot also makes you a super scientist? Don’t think so. Isn’t he a school drop out?
Another legend in his own mind thinking he is actually relevant. Doesn’t realizes he is only as relevant as his last make believe.
Thank you so much for your recent correspondence. I always sleep well knowing that I can always count on a FReeper to provide whatever information I am too lazy, upp, oop, I mean too BUSY to look up myself.
Now, if I could just make it through the night without thinking about the fact that Dr. Jill cheated on her husband with me.
To infinity and beyond!,
Sleepy Joe
