If even the stretch of devastating hurricanes do Watch Sex 2: Fate (1995)not elicit a shred of doubt in climate change deniers heads, Leonardo DiCaprio has some words for you. Yeah, you Donald Trump.
On Tuesday night, the actor and activist took the stage at the Yale Climate Conference to deliver a rousing speech discussing the string of natural disasters we've seen over recent years—and the overwhelming evidence of climate change—and the current administration's refusal to acknowledge what scientists are saying. Oh, and he revealed that the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation will be distributing $20 million in environmental grants to over 100 organizations.

And some of us have also listened as the scientific community sounded alarm bells about climate change as far back as the early 1990s," DiCaprio explained, listing evidence from 1990 to 2014—including the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Changeclaim that "it is extremely likely – with 95 to 100 percent probability – that human influence is the dominant cause of climate change."
"Yet with all of this evidence – the independent scientific warnings, and the mounting economic price tag – there is still an astounding level of willful ignorance and inaction from the people who should be doing the most to protect us, and every other living thing on this planet," he said, not so subtly calling out the Trump administration.
DiCaprio also revealed that he had met with Donald Trump after the election to discuss a "comprehensive plan to tackle climate change," but clearly that has not gone anywhere positive since the appointment of climate change denier Scott Pruitt as the head of the Environmental Protection Agency.
"We watched as this White House pulled us back from the Paris climate agreement, the landmark blueprint for containing global emissions and slowing the increase in global temperatures, and we listened as they said that the powerful forces of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma did not change the President’s mind about climate change," he continued.
"I still believe that the United States has the potential to lead the world on this issue. We can only hope that the president begins to see it too, before it is too late," he said, before also encouraging the everyday citizen to take action today.
The $20 million coming from the foundation will head towards organizations tackling everything from wildlife conservation to indigenous rights programs.
