“It’s also scary to know, that climate change is due to human activity, and we continue to ignore it, and the only voice that we really have is through voting,” the Mother! star told UK’s Channel 4.
She added, “You know you’re watching these hurricanes now, and it’s really hard especially while promoting this movie, not to feel mother nature’s rage and wrath.”
The Internet had a lot of thoughts on the remarks, slamming Lawrence for her comments.
