The Guardian says the veteran U.S. actor “prefaced his speech at the summit with a short film, narrated in his trademark lion’s growl,” in which the character of Nature speaks about the future.
“If I’m not kept healthy, humans won’t survive, simple as that,” Nature says. “I couldn’t give a damn, with or without humans, I’m the ocean. I covered this entire planet once, and I can always cover it again.”
In his speech, he called climate change “the greatest moral crisis of our time. We need nature now more than ever because nature doesn’t need people, people need nature.”
