NEW YORK — Jennifer Lawrence is facing backlash online for suggesting that monster hurricanes that just devastated Texas and another nearing Florida may have been prompted by Donald Trump becoming president. While in England to promote her film ... read full story on Minneapolis Star Tribune

While in England to promote her film "Mother!" the actress was asked about changes happening in America. "You know, you're watching these hurricanes now, and it's really hard, especially while promoting this movie, not to feel Mother Nature's rage. Wrath," Lawrence told Channel 4 on Wednesday.
Because it was not that long ago, we all remember when we still liked actress Jennifer Lawrence. At 19, she knocked us all out in 2010’s Winter’s Bone. The following year she was the best thing in the box office hit X-Men: First Class. The year after that she went certified platinum when The Hunger Games topped off a domestic gross of $408 million.

When Jennifer Lawrence first came on the scene, she not only won audiences over with her amazing acting chops in films like Winter’s Bone and X-Men: First Class, but with her quirky and free-spirited persona that she showed off during interviews and awards ceremonies. However, recently, the public perception on the actress has suddenly switched gears, with Lawrence beginning to rub viewers the wrong way with her off camera antics.
Early last year, the actress mocked a foreign journalist at a press conference for being on his phone, when the man was reportedly using it to help him translate his questions. But instead of picking up on his thick accent and broken English, Lawrence continued to lay into the man, calling him “bro” while wagging her finger in his direction and mocking him for his inaccuracies.
Lawrence also drew fire for a story she recapped on The Graham Norton Show, where the actress admitted to scratching her butt on some sacred Hawaiian rocks, resulting in a minor landslide that almost injured a crew member.
"Early last year, the actress mocked a foreign journalist at a press conference for being on his phone, when the man was reportedly using it to help him translate his questions."
Complete and utter BS, as attested to by other journalists who were there. He was filming her, a rude gesture that no one else in the Hollywood foreign press performed, and she rightly called him out on it.
Pretty sick.I expected her to have a lot more class than this. First Michael Shannon and now her? It seems Trump's victory has shown Hollywood's true colors. most disappointing to see a complete lack of humanity for people by these ivory tower airheads.
shareComplete and utter BS. She never once suggested at all that the hurricanes had anything to do with Trump. This is just mindless alt-right propaganda with no basis in fact.
shareAll she was saying is that ignoring climate change will get humanity into trouble. What's the big deal?
Climate change deniers are either ignorant or liars. Either should disqualify the person from holding public office.
Didnt she promise to move to Canada if Trump would win the elections?
shareDear God, please say it isn't so....
WOW, just WOW!
It isn't so. This is just click bait yellow journalism at its worst. She never actually said any of this. Just watch the interview yourself.
shareNot the wisest thing in the world to attribute a political context to the behavior of Mother Nature.

"Not the wisest thing in the world to attribute a political context to the behavior of Mother Nature."
She didn't. It isn't the wisest thing in the world to blindly accept right wing memes based on nothing.
It's very dangerous to attribute infallibility to science. To mention just one of thousands of examples of science proved wrong, black slavery once had a scientific foundation; blacks were considered as inherently inferior and fit only for slavery. Read the story of the Dred Scott case, which is very illuminating in that respect.
shareRead on the history of antisemitism, and you will see that it, too, has an spurious scientific foundation that reaches back long before the Godforsaken 20th century.
shareExcuse me, nutcase, but this has nothing to do with science. The thread makes a claim about something an actress said, and the reality is that she never said it. That's my point. Pay attention.
shareAs Diogenes would say: a healthy amount of cynicism is very valuable for judging ideas and theories whose value remains to be proven.
That report was incorrect? Good; the climate change theory must be examined as carefully as any other undecided scientific question. When I was born sixty three years and two days ago, there was still support for the theories of the Missing Link and the canals of Mars. Since then it has been established that apes and humans are not grandparents and grandchildren, but rather cousins who share a common ancestor. As for the canals of Mars, they turned out to be nothing more than the scratches on the lenses of telescopes; that was why astronomers could never agree on the correct layout of those canals.
JLaw, as a famous person, is likely to be misquoted; nothing can be done about that. The important thing for her to do is to be careful not to embarrass herself with statements that cannot be dismissed as misquotations.
"That report was incorrect? Good; the climate change theory must be examined as carefully as any other undecided scientific question. "
it has been examined and is no longer "undecided". Man made climate change is established science whether you like it or not.
"When I was born sixty three years and two days ago, there was still support for the theories of the Missing Link and the canals of Mars."
You have no idea what you are talking about. There has never been a "missing link" among serious scientists and the canals of mars were only believed in by a tiny minority. You keep offering up stupid ideas that were never part of the mainstream of science as some kind of warning against taking the mainstream seriously.
"Scientists have been wrong" is not an argument. It is empty noise.
"The important thing for her to do is to be careful not to embarrass herself with statements that cannot be dismissed as misquotations."
No, the important thing is for people like you to not stupidly and blindly accept reports in the press that have no basis in fact. A nine year old with a little bit of curiosity about objective reality could have discovered that the story of this thread was false in about ten seconds.
That you fell for this nonsense so easily tells me that your critical thinking skills aren't so great--no wonder you shrug off the scientific consensus on climate change. You don't know any better.
Do you honestly think that insults win frends and arguments?
For centuries the geocentric theory--the Earth as the center of the solar system--was unquestioned science; starting with Copernicus the theory started to get reexamined, and finally rejected.
Geocentrism lasted from the time of Ptolemy to the time of Copernicus and Galileo--a very lengthy time. Should a theory that is comparatively new be accorded the undoubted credibility enjoyed by, say, the Law of Gravity?
"For centuries the geocentric theory--the Earth as the center of the solar system--was unquestioned science; starting with Copernicus the theory started to get reexamined, and finally rejected."
This is complete and utter ignorant BS. Once again you demonstrate that you have no idea what you are talking about. You are really embarrassing yourself.
Here's a history lesson for you, because you need it:
1. Science did not even exist as a word until the early 19th century. Even when the term was coined, the human race was still figuring out what the scientific method was. The institutions which we depend on to police and support scientific works were still being formed. Most of what came before that time would not qualify as science according to modern standards.
2, This is especially true of geocentric theories of the cosmos, which had more to do with reliance on religious and philosophical dogma rather than making testable observations and mathematical models.
So don't cite things people believed back then as "unquestioned science". That's just stupid beyond belief.
The fact of the matter is that your opposition to human caused global warming has nothing to do with science, because the science of global warming has already been decided and the case is closed.
You refuse to accept the facts because of your ignorance and your politics, nothing else. The fact that you are so gullible that you fell for a total lie about an actress said about hurricanes shows that you have no capacity for serious fact checking or critical thought.
If you are trying to persuade others of the merits of your position, you are going about it the wrong way.
I'm an admirer of Lawrence; I love WINTER'S BONE and THE HUNGER GAMES, and I would like to see her as part of the cast of a big production of DON QUIXOTE. A bit of tact and forebearance goes a long way with me; the hostile antagonistic approach you have adopted instead does not encourage agreement.
Trust my experience; science often makes mistakes and has to correct itself. That is why scientists are humble modest people who never claim to literally know everything.
"Science has been wrong" is not an argument. Human civilization itself is threatened by the utter stupidity of science-deniers like yourself whose only motivation is selfish politics.

I liked Paul J Watson's response to it. :P
Jennifer Lawrence's logic, Hurricane Katrina was gods hatred/wrath on black people in New Orleans.
I am not asking for details..
a couple of inches they told us. A couple of inches between life and death.
Its horrible. A destructive thing.
You need help!
