Um…Kilimanjaro is NOT 17,000ft. It’s actually over 19,300ft. Get your facts straight, please. And Kilimanjaro is not a cake walk. Trust me…I just hiked the mountain in June.

According to growing scientific consensus we are reaching a critical window in the fight to halt climate change. I agree @Run-DMS, that a celebrity flying halfway across the planet to climb a mountain isn’t exactly the best way to be raising awareness of environmental issues (which are, ultimately, connected to ALL other issues). Still, celebrity championing of environmental causes brings these into the public awareness. That awareness is needed to generate the critical mass needed to drive REAL change.

Awareness must precede action.
