FashionDream Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Back in the year 2000 I believe Leo interviewed Clinton in relation to the environment. I don't think I've ever seen it, I just read about it in recent years. Is it up on the Internet somewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oxford25 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 From Leo's instagram account leonardodicaprio 29 minutes ago Today, I have the privilege to speak at the United Nations #Climate2014 Summit where world leaders are expected to announce the bold steps they will take to tackle climate change.

oxford25 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Leo's speech today at UN DiCaprio tells leaders: 'You can make history or you will be vilified' Leonardo DiCaprio is up now. He was certainly the most powerful speaker so far: I am honoured to be here today. I stand before you not as an expert but as a concerned citizen, one of the 400,000 people who marched in New York on Sunday. As an actor I pretend for a living, I play fictitious characters often solving fictitious problems. I believe mankind has looked at climate change in the same way, as if pretending climate change wasn’t real, it would go away. But I think we know now that isn’t the case. [he lists physical changes taking place around the world, from ocean acidification to glaciers melting] None of this is rhetoric, none of this hysteria, this is fact. This body, perhaps more than any other gathering in human history, faces this difficult but achievable task. You can make history or you will be vilified for it. To make clear, this is not about telling people to change their light bulbs or buy a hybrid car. We must put a price tag on carbon and end fossil fuel subsidies. This is not a partisan debate, it is a human one. Solving this crisis is not a question of politics, it is a question of our own survival. This is the most urgent of times and the most urgent of messages. I pretend for a living but you do not. The people who heard their voices made on Sunday and the momentum will not stop, but now it is your turn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oxford25 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 From the Guardian Leo's entireUN speech Thank you, Mr Secretary General, your excellencies, ladies and gentleman, and distinguished guests. I’m honored to be here today, I stand before you not as an expert but as a concerned citizen, one of the 400,000 people who marched in the streets of New York on Sunday, and the billions of others around the world who want to solve our climate crisis. As an actor I pretend for a living. I play fictitious characters often solving fictitious problems. I believe humankind has looked at climate change in that same way: as if it were a fiction, happening to someone else’s planet, as if pretending that climate change wasn’t real would somehow make it go away. But I think we know better than that. Every week , we’re seeing new and undeniable climate events, evidence that accelerated climate change is here now. We know that droughts are intensifying, our oceans are warming and acidifying, with methane plumes rising up from beneath the ocean floor. We are seeing extreme weather events, increased temperatures, and the West Antarctic and Greenland ice-sheets melting at unprecedented rates, decades ahead of scientific projections. None of this is rhetoric, and none of it is hysteria. It is fact. The scientific community knows it, Industry and Governments know it, even the United States military knows it. The chief of the US navy’s Pacific command, admiral Samuel Locklear, recently said that climate change is our single greatest security threat. My Friends, this body – perhaps more than any other gathering in human history - now faces that difficult task. You can make history ... or be vilified by it. To be clear, this is not about just telling people to change their light bulbs or to buy a hybrid car. This disaster has grown BEYOND the choices that individuals make. This is now about our industries, and governments around the world taking decisive, large-scale action. I am not a scientist, but I don’t need to be. Because the world’s scientific community has spoken, and they have given us our prognosis, if we do not act together, we will surely perish. Now is our moment for action. We need to put a pricetag on carbon emissions, and eliminate government subsidies for coal, gas, and oil companies. We need to end the free ride that industrial polluters have been given in the name of a free-market economy, they don’t deserve our tax dollars, they deserve our scrutiny. For the economy itself will die if our ecosystems collapse. The good news is that renewable energy is not only achievable but good economic policy. New research shows that by 2050 clean, renewable energy could supply 100% of the world’s energy needs using existing technologies, and it would create millions of jobs. This is not a partisan debate; it is a human one. Clean air and water, and a livable climate are inalienable human rights. And solving this crisis is not a question of politics. It is our moral obligation – if, admittedly, a daunting one. We only get one planet. Humankind must become accountable on a massive scale for the wanton destruction of our collective home. Protecting our future on this planet depends on the conscious evolution of our species. This is the most urgent of times, and the most urgent of messages. Honoured delegates, leaders of the world, I pretend for a living. But you do not. The people made their voices heard on Sunday around the world and the momentum will not stop. And now it’s YOUR turn, the time to answer the greatest challenge of our existence on this planet ... is now. I beg you to face it with courage. And honesty. Thank you. http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2014/sep/23/leonarodo-dicaprio-un-climate-change-speech-new-york Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
