There you are, everyone happily chatting around the dinner table, when someone decides to steer the conversation towards religion. People are a few glasses of wine in, one thing leads to another, someone storms off before dessert is served.

No worries, I’ll have yours too.

You can add politics and money to the list of touchy subjects, because those also tend to get people hot under the collar.

Thankfully the company I keep tend to agree that global warming and the threat of climate change are real concerns, and that we should be doing something about it before it’s too late (if it isn’t already).

We know Leo DiCaprio is involved with two things at present, hooking up with supermodels and raising awareness around climate change, and we’ve given the first of those interests plenty of coverage.

Let’s talk about his new doccie, Before The Flood, and shine some light on the second. Some insight from TIME:

Alongside DiCaprio, who produced and narrated the film, the production team lists several Hollywood hard-hitters including actor-director Fisher Stevens, who produced Oscar-winning documentary The Cove, and executive producer Martin Scorsese, who directed DiCaprio in The Wolf of Wall Street…

The film also features appearances and interviews from big names including President Obama, Elon Musk and Pope Francis.

“Climate change is the most critical and urgent problem facing our world today, and it must be a top issue for voters this Election Day,” said DiCaprio…“Fisher and I set out to make a film that not only educates people about the challenges we face if we fail to act, but one which also shows the solutions we can implement if we can find the political will to do so.”

You can bet the climate change deniers are going to have a field day shooting this one down. Maybe they can join forces with the flat earth peeps, together burning the mountains of scientific evidence that render their stances completely irrational.

Over to you, Oscar winner Leo:

The doccie will be officially released on October 21, although there will be a special screening at the White House on October 3.
