This week, Leonardo DiCaprio is flexing his voice on climate change. He took a break from the mean streets of New York City to stop by the Yale Climate Conference at the Ivy League university's New Haven campus._  by [Raisa Bruner](https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/)  ## Raisa Bruner Apr 9, 2018 7:35 PM UTC  by [Raisa Bruner](https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/)  ## Raisa Bruner Apr 9, 2018 7:35 PM UTC [Leonardo DiCaprio](http://time.com/5180512/brad-pitt-leonardo-dicaprio-quentin-tarantino/) is a lucky man: He got to spend time learning from [Dr. Jane Goodall](http://time.com/4972534/jane-goodall-documentary-climate-change/) over the weekend at the [famous primatologist](http://time.com/5192249/jane-goodall-sexism-gender-equality-documentary/)‘s fundraising event in Beverly Hills [on Saturday.](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/dr-jane-goodall-friends-fundraiser-tickets-44000695264#) Musician and animal rights activist [Moby](http://www.extracrispy.com/drinks/3908/moby-cocktail-bar-vegan) came along for the event too. ([Also there](https://www.instagram.com/p/BhUWM-mg9JB/?taken-by=iamkristindavis): _Sex and the City_ actress [Kristin Davis](http://time.com/5209327/kristin-davis-endorses-cynthia-nixon-for-governor/) and designer [Nicole Richie](http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-5592803/Leonardo-DiCaprio-shares-snap-Dame-Jane-Goodall-Moby-inspiring-LA-fundraiser.html).) This isn’t DiCaprio’s first encounter with the rockstar scientist; both are U.N. Messengers of Peace. The _Revenant_ [Oscar-winner](http://time.com/4174724/golden-globes-leonardo-dicaprio-revenant/) was appointed to focus on climate change and Goodall is focusing on continuing her legacy of conservation. After the “Up Close with Dr. Jane Goodall and Friends” event at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, DiCaprio took to Instagram to share a photo of himself along with Goodall and Moby, calling it an “inspiring day in L.A.” (Moby also shared the image, calling out Goodall and DiCaprio as two of his “favorite environmentalists.”) Goodall has famously dedicated her life to chimpanzee research, founding the Jane Goodall Institute and Roots and Shoots program to support continued research in conservation and animal behavior. DiCaprio, meanwhile, fronted the [_Before the Flood_](http://time.com/4511153/trailer-leonardo-dicaprio-documentary-before-the-flood/) climate change documentary and is a vocal advocate on matters of climate change, having set up a foundation back [in 1998](https://www.leonardodicaprio.org/timeline/) to support environmental causes globally. He’s also been a primate proponent, producing the 2014 [documentary _Virunga_](http://time.com/3522961/netflix-leonardo-dicaprio-virunga/) about the endangered mountain gorillas of the Democratic Republic of Congo, which came out on Netflix. ## Transcript We should not have people in office that do not believe in facts, in truths, in modern science that are able to manipulate and risk the entire future of this entire generation. So you know the more I've learned about this issue the more I've become. Terrified to tell you the truth. I'm doing a new documentary about methane. You've done so much work on oceans, the protection of our oceans, the health of our oceans, the fact that so much of this carbon is being absorbed [ INAUDIBLE ] the oceans. We're actually not even seeing on land the ramifications of the amount of carbon that we're emitting in the atmosphere. Because, the oceans are absorbing so much of it. And they're at capacity now. So, I'm really scared. We're at that turning point right now. And we're gonna look back at this moment, In history and frankly this administration and certain people are gonna be vilified for not taking action. They really are. And it's up to this generation, it's up to all of you to really get involved and make a difference because as I said in the documentary, what I saw in my travels absolutely terrified me. It was terrifying. Being on this sort of campaign so to speak for global warming climate change, you realize the amazing inaction that this country has taken. You go to anywhere else in the world, there is no argument about climate change. There is no argument. People accept it as a fact. This is the only country in the world where we have a political party that argues what is now basically scientific fact. I mean it's like arguing whether gravity exists or not. When President Trump says to the people of the United States, I'm pulling out of Paris. Because Paris places an undue burden on the United States of America. My friends, the President of the United States is not telling America the truth. That's just not true. It doesn't place any burden on the United States. It only places what we agreed, as Americans, we are capable of doing. At our schedule, our desire within our limits of technology. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5233627/leonardo-dicaprio-jane-goodall-moby/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5233627/leonardo-dicaprio-jane-goodall-moby/"},"headline":"Leonardo DiCaprio Got to Hang Out With Jane Goodall and Moby This Weekend","datePublished":"2018-04-09T19:35:12.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T08:02:48.950Z","description":"Just a couple of environmentalists hanging out in L.A.","url":"https://time.com/5233627/leonardo-dicaprio-jane-goodall-moby/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Environment","celebrities","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5233627/leonardo-dicaprio-jane-goodall-moby/","name":"Leonardo DiCaprio Got to Hang Out With Jane Goodall and Moby This Weekend"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Leonardo DiCaprio Talks With John Kerry About America's Future And Climate Change","description":"This week, Leonardo DiCaprio is flexing his voice on climate change.
