CANNES, FRANCE: Jane Fonda is being slammed for specifically blaming White men for creating "climate crisis." "It is a tragedy that we have to absolutely stop. We have to arrest and jail those men — they're all men [behind this]," the 'Grace and Frankie' star said at the Cannes Film Festival on Saturday, May 27. Fonda added that there "would be no climate crisis if there was no racism." Speaking of the "hierarchy" that gives power to men, the actress said, "White men are the things that matter and then everything else [is] at the bottom."

Fonda then urged people in positions to act quickly to save the planet. "This is serious. We've got about seven, eight years to cut ourselves in half of what we use of fossil fuels, and unfortunately, the people that have the least responsibility for it are hit the hardest," she said, according to Daily Mail. "Global South, people on islands, poor people of color."
