Global Warming: Celebrities Involved




If you keep regular pace with environmental news and updates, your ears must have provided the way for global warming as an issue of concern. The issue is beaten to death on different types of media including print media, electronic media and Internet media. The celebrities across the globe have worn new outfits of concerned environmentalists and have joined hands with other people to smack this issue with severe blows.

The celebrities from the world of glamour are no far behind in this mission. One can see highly acclaimed actors like Leonardo DiCaprio and Arnold Schwarzenegger coming forward to shake the thinking process of common people as well as government officials to take essential steps against the beast of global warming. Leonardo has marked his presence in innumerable events associated with global warming and has also brought a small documentary, titled 11th Hour, into existence.

Arnold Schwarzenegger, who has climbed new heights as Governor of California, is amongst the pioneers to frame actions against emission of contributory gases adding to global warming. Thus, these actors and others have utilized their persona in bringing new hopes for the environment and society.

If you think that politicians are good for playing power games, consider the appreciable work credited to Mr. Al Gore, the former American vice president. The mission against global warming led by him has brought him returns in the form of joint Noble prize. And he has virtuously won this approbation due to “An Inconvenient Truth", a documentary constructed by him.

The efforts against global warming require some brutal truths to be explored and this is done by Michael Crichton, the person with no need of introduction in the world of writing. In his book compiled in 2002, he has tried to reframe global warming as the illegitimate child of environmentalists, who cry at the peak of their voices for earning organizational benefits.

Thus, these high-profile personalities have managed to centralize the issue of global warming through a number of steps like documentaries, books, action groups and other methodologies. However, there are always some thoughts against the flow of tide. Thus, many people strongly believe that publicity is the main intention behind these celebrity actions. If this fact is to be believed, then one should also consider the attention brought by monumental charisma of these celebrities in gaining high concerns for global warming. There is no better way of endorsing the ill effects of global warming and ultimately devising the techniques to tame this evil.
