“Make no mistake, the tragedy unfolding in Australia is climate-change-based,” the actor wrote in a statement read by Aniston, who appeared emotional while delivering the message. “We need to act based on science, move our global workforce to renewable energy and respect our planet for the unique and amazing place, it is. That way, we all have a future. Thank you.”
