Musicians Stevie Wonder and Beyonce took on climate change deniers at the starstudded hurricane relief telethon. Wonder, 67, and 25-time Grammy winner did throw in a little joke, as he said: Anyone who believes there is no such thing as global warming must be blind or unintelligent.
Beyoncé gave heartfelt comments to the people of her hometown of Houston following of Hurricane Harvey. “In my hometown city of Houston, people need food, clothing and cleaning supplies, blankets, shoes, diapers and formula for babies and of course, clean water. The elderly need wheelchairs and kids need books and toys so they can continue to dream. Natural disasters don’t discriminate. They don’t see if you’re an immigrant, black or white, Jewish or Muslim, wealthy or poor. It doesn’t matter if you’re from Third Ward or River Oaks, we’re all in this together,” the 22-time Grammy winner said.
