Leo uses Oscars speech to highlight climate change

Leonardo DiCaprio used his Oscars acceptance speech to highlight the issue of climate change.

It proved sixth time lucky for the Hollywood star, who had repeatedly lost out on his five previous nominations.

He took home the coveted Best Actor gong for his role in The Revenant - a film, he said, about man's relationship with nature.

Our production needed to move to the southern tip of this planet just to be able to find snow.

Climate change is real, it is happening right now - it is the most urgent threat facing our entire species and we need to work collectively together and stop procrastinating.

– Leonardo DiCaprio
