How This Popular Boy Band Is Raising Awareness On Climate Change
Looks like losing a member hasn’t lessened One Direction’s humanitarian spirit.
Speaking directly to their fans — an extremely loyal bunch known as Directioners — the popular British boy band released a video Wednesday on their website to mark the launch of Action/1D, a campaign aimed at raising awareness about global issues like climate change.
“2015 is a year like no other, and we want you to really make it count,†the video begins. “At two historic summits in September and December, world leaders will make decisions that affect important human issues, like extreme poverty, inequality, and climate change.â€
“Please will you join us to put pressure on our leaders?†the boys ask. “All you need to do is tell us what you want your world to look like in the future.â€
Will they be telling all their young fans to make sure they never use fossil fuels and go carbon neutral? Speaking of fossil fuels
(UK Daily Mail) One Direction have denied being two-faced after throwing their weight behind a climate change campaign despite previously admitting they often use two private jets to travel the globe.
The group, who last last year were revealed to be the richest boyband in British music history with a combined wealth of £70million, have joined Save the Children in launching action/1D.
In a statement they said: ‘Young people really do have the power to help end poverty, tackle inequality and stop dangerous climate change.’
It comes after the band racked up around 200,000 miles while travelling the world on their past two tours.
So, climahypocrites. And like all good Warmists, they have Excuses
When approached by the Daily Mirror about whether One Direction’s carbon-burning mode of transport was at odds with the campaign, Save the Children said: ‘None of us are perfect.’
The charity’s Brendan Cox added: ‘One Direction is the biggest band in the world and by mobilising the millions of young people in their fanbase, they’ll shine a light on the most important issues of our time.’
A spokesman for One Direction claimed the band’s flights were ‘part of a carbon offset programme’.
He said the band used Starflight jets, a company which works alongside the charity Cool Earth to try and offset carbon emissions by protecting the rainforests.
Yet again, Warmists who tell us it’s a crisis but fail to act like it’s a crisis.
