Climate change: Last News

canceling his Wonder Tour in July 2022 to focus on his mental health, so fans were excited to get a new song.The “Mercy” singer has long been vocal about the dangers of climate change, but many fans also questioned Mendes’ decision to use the devastating results of wildfires to promote the song.“Shawn Mendes turning the fire smoke pollution into single cover art is sending me into orbit,” one person wrote.“Not Shawn Mendes using a photo of the NYC fire to promote his new song,” another said.“Shawn Mendes did not just slap some words on a picture of Smokey a-s NYC and used it as cover art,” someone tweeted.“Not Shawn using the air quality in new york as promo for a new song,” a fan commented.People also made their thoughts known in the comments of his Instagram post announcing the single.“Canada burning was just Shawn Mendes promo?” one questioned.“Bro saw an opportunity and took it,” another wrote.A post shared by Shawn Mendes (@shawnmendes)“Ppl are dying in wildfires n getting sick by the poor air quality n u rlly decided to make it ur aesthetic?” a disappointed fan commented.“Did bro actually commercialize New York’s climate lmao,” one person said.“Why are you trying to profit off a natural disaster,” someone asked.Some fans speculated that the song was actually about his relationship status with Camila Cabello, 26, rather than actually about the wildfires because of some of the lyrics.“Smoke in the air/ the city’s burning down/ I want to speak/ but I don’t make a sound,” Mendes sings in the song. “Locked in my mind, you’re all I think about/ I want to save us, but I don’t know how.”“If we don’t love like we used to, if we don’t care like we used to, what the hell are we dying for?” he sings in the chorus.

Taylor Swift fans for “putting words into my mouth” after she seemingly shaded Swift for not being environmentally conscious. “Okay so it would be so awesome if people would stop putting words into my mouth and actually read what I said in that billboard article,” the 22-year-old singer wrote in an Instagram story.

the Hawaii wildfires.Tinfoil-hatted social media denizens detailed this outlandish allegation of life imitating art on social media amid the wildfire disaster in Lahaina, Maui, which has claimed over 114 lives since Aug. 8.Conspiracy theorists had posted snippets from a 2016 episode of the Matt Groening series, titled “Monty Burns’ Fleeing Circus,” which depicted a beam of light incinerating the town of Springfield.They claim that this was evidence of the unfounded conspiracy circulating social media that claims the Maui wildfires were caused by “directed energy weapons” in order to advance the globalist climate-change agenda.One TikToker uploaded pics of blue umbrellas that were left miraculously intact in the inferno’s aftermath, which he linked to the blue tarp shrouding a similarly untouched statue in the episode.Needless to say, this theory was particularly tenuous given that in the episode, which was not set in Hawaii, the inferno was caused by the unveiling of the aforementioned metal statue and not a state-sponsored death ray.

shared in his Instagram Story on Tuesday that he is giving away six of his vintage, eco-modified dream cars in a competition anyone can enter. Downey Jr., 58, is collaborating with the Edward Charles Foundation to raise money for his climate tech venture capital company FootPrint Coalition.

the “Book Club: The Next Chapter” actress said at the Cannes Film Festival.“It is a tragedy that we have to absolutely stop. We have to arrest and jail those men — they’re all men [behind this].”The two-time Oscar winner added that climate change would not be possible without racism or the patriarchy, in which “white men,” she said, are at the top.“It’s good for us all to realize, there would be no climate crisis if there was no racism.

watts.The actress, activist and unabashed Aries, wrote herself an Instagram birthday card this year and gave a tender shout out to her Saturn return for the punishing lessons it provided. Watson’s emoji description for her Saturn return included volcanoes, parachutes, zombies, cannonballs and coffins, same sis, same. If we make it through the gauntlet of youth, we experience our Saturn return, the astrological equivalent of a rite of passage into adulthood, around the ages of 27 to 31.

reportedly paid as much as half a million dollars for celebrities such as Kim Kardashian to accompany him to the annual fundraiser.Lugner reportedly rolled out the red carpet for the 85-year-old “Grace & Frankie” star who was welcomed to Austria’s capital city with a bouquet, a photo op and a stretch limousine — all of which she declined to accept. Instead, the “Book Club” star tore up her script for the week, and made her own itinerary instead, touring museums and galleries in Vienna, sans Lugner, according to the Irish Times.She then ranted that fossil fuel companies are “criminal,” after learning that oil and gas company OMV was a sponsor for the ball. “Until yesterday I thought I was going to the opera with this man, now I’ve learned that it’s a popular ball,” Fonda told The Irish Times at a news conference ahead of the event.

her 17-minute private jet rides, but the reality star may not be the “biggest climate change offender,” the Tab reported.Research from sustainability-driven marketing company Yard tallied up A-list private jet usage and Jenner didn’t even make the top 10 in the list of celebrities who have racked up the most CO2 emissions in their PJs so far this year.The findings showed that Taylor Swift’s private jet rides have emitted 8,293.54 metric tons of carbon in 2022, putting her at No. 1 on the list.Even while she is not touring, her average flight time is still 80 minutes, with an average of 139.36 miles per flight, per the report.While Swift was labeled the top “offender” by Yard, Floyd Mayweather was right behind her, with 7,076.8 metric tons of carbon emitted.

Megan McCubbin, 27, is the stepdaughter of fellow Springwatch presenter Chris Packham, 61, who is often very vocal about his opinions on climate change and the treatment of animals. Megan insisted it was important for the Conservative government to step up when it comes to taking care of our planet in an exclusive interview with Express.co.uk.Megan, who has recently teamed up with Lovat Parks, spoke about the wondrous benefits of “connecting to our wild side” during the lockdown, as she explained how important it was to speak out about animal welfare and other environmental issues. Asked if she felt like the government had done enough to make Britain greener, she replied: “I think we have a long way to go. “I'd like to see things happening faster,” she added.

Good Morning Britain meteorologist Laura Tobin, 40, thanked Piers Morgan for always giving her “the time of day” and including her in heated debates while he was presenting the ITV show.The most explosive row came when "climate change denier", Craig Kelly, appeared on the programme.The Australian MP was invited on the show to discuss the horrific bushfires in 2020.In a new interview with Express.co.uk, Laura said: “Piers would always bring me into any chats, like a couple of years ago when there were the deadly wildfires in Australia, where I think a billion animals perished, we had an MP on who was trying to say it wasn’t climate change.“Then Piers brought me in and we had this massive argument.“Piers will always give me the time of day.”The incident in question saw Mr Kelly discuss the blaze with hosts Piers and Susanna Reid when the former asked whether Mr Kelly “accepted that the planet is heating up at a dangerous level”.While the MP accepted that the planet is heating up, he argued that “the main cause of the fires is the build-up of fuel on the ground and drought” but insisted there was “no trend” with the increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.Piers then interrupted Mr Kelly to bring in Laura, who he dubbed the show’s “weather expert”.Laura proceeded to explain that Australia had just had its “highest temperatures and driest year ever recorded” and the country had the “second highest carbon emission per person on earth”.The mother-of-one then fumed at Mr Kelly: “You are burying your head in the sand, this is a climate emergency.“You are not a climate sceptic, you are a climate denier!”Mr Kelly rebuked that Australia had the “highest uptake of renewable energy” in the world, to which Laura hit back: “No you

Good Morning Britain’s meteorologist Laura Tobin, 40, gave a poignant report about the effects of climate change when she flew to Svalbard, Norway, last year.The bulletin was shown live on GMB in September and Laura broke down in tears after witnessing how global warming had melted the glaciers and put polar bears in danger.In the segment, she explained that Svalbard is heating up more than anywhere else on Earth and that the ice melting will cause changes to the weather in the UK, including rising sea levels and more flooding.Laura’s voice started to break when she said her young daughter, Charlotte, five, had drawn her a picture of a polar bear.She sobbed: “If Charlotte comes here when she’s my age, there potentially won’t be polar bears.”Despite the tearful report, some viewers criticised Laura because the flight to Norway would have added emissions to the atmosphere and contributed to climate change.Speaking exclusively to Express.co.uk, Laura revealed that she turned to Susanna for support during the tough time.She confessed: “Susanna is really supportive.“When I was in Svalbard, I phoned her and told her what we had seen, the people we had spoken to. We discussed the criticism I received and whether I should mention it [on the show].“We both agreed because we need to own what we are doing, where we are going and why.”While Laura accepts that the flight would have made a carbon footprint and emitted pollution into the atmosphere, she doesn't feel "guilty" because the benefits outweighed the negatives.She stated: "The amount of people that watched, who maybe wouldn’t have watched an Arctic documentary, was in the millions.

Succession.The star has now confessed that, in their shared home country, he almost ran over environmental activist Greta Thunberg, 19.Alexander, who is part of the famous Skarsgard family, nearly hit Amnesty International award-winning climate activist Greta while out on his bike. True to form, Greta was at a protest when the incident occured, while Alexander was on his way to an interview.Interviewer Jonathan Dean reflected afterwards: “Skarsgard cycled past Greta on his way to meet me; she was on a protest.”Greta is known for challenging world leaders to take immediate action on climate change mitigation and has inspired people across the world to join her cause.Like Alexander, Greta is one of the most famous names to come out of Sweden in recent years. Thankfully, he was able to avoid hitting her on his bike, and shared his thoughts on the young activist with the interviewer. “She's how we sell our country now,” he said. “And I almost hit her with my bike.”The star went on to add: “Greta is like a modern-day Viking and, like Greta, the Vikings refused to fly,” he told The Sunday Times.While Alexander cannot claim to have much of a connection to the vikings himself, his brother Gustaf might say differently. The second eldest Skarsgard brother, 41, played Floki in the History Channel series Vikings.He also portrayed Karl Strand in the second season of the HBO series Westworld alongside Evan Rachel Wood. His older brother Alexander has accumulated several high-profile roles over the years, including Succession’s Lukas Matsson, who is the gifted but unpredictable CEO of streaming platform GoJo in the show.He also played Eric Northman in popular vampire series True Blood and the titular character in Warner Bros’ The

Death In Paradise, has come down on those who decide to criticise him for travelling on planes whilst campaigning about climate change.The actor furiously denied claims he is a “hypocrite” and told any critics they are “missing the point”.He made the statements in a Twitter rant as his flight from Edinburgh to London was delayed due to Storm Eunice.Writing at around 12pm on Friday, Ralf told his 276,000 followers: “My Edinburgh to Heathrow flight is delayed until 1pm, but if it goes ahead, I’m totally going to film the landing and hope I can also watch it on Big Jet TV.“Also, nobody said this yet but getting [this] out ahead of it, I can tweet relentlessly about climate change and, sometimes, have to take flights without being a hypocrite.“We live in a system that we can fight to change (and I do), but we currently live in it nonetheless.“So, if like today, I have to take a flight because other options won’t work with a filming schedule, then so be it.“But I don’t take it lightly and will continue fighting for better and more eco-friendly transport infrastructure so I don’t have to in future. And, not that it solves everything, but I carbon offset all flights because it’s something.“So, if your response to this is, ‘one rule for you’ or ‘hypocrite’ or similar, then don’t waste your time because you’re a) wildly missing the point and the bigger picture, and b) being a d**k.”Ralf later updated fans that he had arrived in London safely and the landing was as “smooth as you like”.His Twitter thread received a positive response from users, who were thrilled Ralf had made it to the capital in one piece.Jon joked: “Good to see you landed safely.

Death in Paradise’s Ralf Little, 41, has defended Idris Elba, 49, after Twitter users took aim at the Hollywood star over his views on climate change. The Luther actor had attended the Cop26 summit on Saturday, where he addressed issues affecting food supply and global warming.During his speech, Idris said people “might be a little irritated" to see celebrities supporting measures against climate change.But he added: "We don't recognise that when we go into Sainsbury's or Marks & Spencers."And one day we’re going to go to Sainsbury’s or Marks & Spencers and the food’s not going to be there."So for perspective, that's why this needs to be amplified."Ralf showed his support for the actor by taking to his Twitter account to respond to critics

Boris Johnson, 56, has been praised by Hollywood star Arnold Schwarzenegger, 73, for his Cop26 involvement.The former Governor of California called the UK Prime Minister the “real deal” despite Johnson’s previous comments about the actor.The Terminator actor also praised his “Boris bikes” scheme, which he brought in when he was the Mayor of London.He said: “The reason why I mentioned Boris is because your Prime Minister is, unlike some of the other countries that are host countries of this event, of a Cop event, he is the real deal."And I remember when he was Mayor of London, and he started the Boris bikes.”Schwarzenegger then added in an interview with Cop26 President Alok Sharma how he was brought in to help publicise these.He added: “He

an appearance on “Jay Leno’s Garage” where the pair took a spin in a Porsche 365, re-creating a scene from 1986’s “Top Gun.” In fact, Loggins has a seemingly inexhaustible font of good humor about his contributions to pop culture, having appeared in “Family Guy” and “Archer” as himself and referencing his “Top Gun” soundtrack song, “Danger Zone,” both times. He’s also prepping a June 28 live set to benefit Santa Barbara’s historic Lobero Theatre, which is part of his history of charity work in the area since moving there in 1973, and giving concerts to benefit Toys for Tots.
