Hollywood star Jane Fonda made the outrageous claim Friday that climate change is being caused exclusively by men, specifically white men, adding that “those men” must be arrested and jailed.
She also blamed the “patriarchy” and “racism” for global warming.
Speaking at a career retrospective at the Cannes Film Festival in France, Jane Fonda promoted her radical climate activism efforts, saying the world has “about seven, eight years” to cut fossil fuel consumption in half.
She also said “poor people of color” as well as populations in the southern hemisphere will be hit hardest by global warming.
“It is a tragedy that we have to absolutely stop. We have to arrest and jail those men — they’re all men,” she added, according to a Deadline report.

Later, Fonda continued her anti-male climate harangue.
“It’s good for us all to realize, there would be no climate crisis if there was no racism. There would be no climate crisis if there was no patriarchy,” she reportedly said. “A mindset that sees things in a hierarchical way. White men are the things that matter and then everything else [is] at the bottom.”
Fonda failed to mention that China — which isn’t run by white men — ranks as the world’s largest polluter, emitting more greenhouse gases than all developed nations combined.
She added:
So when I say that I’m fighting the climate crisis, I also feel that I’m fighting patriarchy and racism. It’s important because we have to get out of the silos — feminists over here, environmentalists over here. That’s what I learned when I started being an activist around the Vietnam War. The more you go down any issue, whatever it is, you realize that it’s all connected. And if we solve the climate crisis and we haven’t solved those other things, we’re gonna be in trouble.
As Breitbart News reported, Jane Fonda previously offered her theory of climate change during a January appearance on NBC’s The Kelly Clarkson Show.
“Well, you know, you can take anything -– sexism, racism, misogyny, homophobia, whatever, the war, and if you really get into it, and study it and learn about it and the history of it and — everything’s connected. There’d be no climate crisis if it wasn’t for racism,” she said.
Fonda’s climate activism began in earnest in 2019 when she led a series of protests in Washington, including one where she was arrested on Capitol Hill. She has since organized “Firedrill Fridays” — a series of in-person and virtual climate protests that recruit Hollywood celebrities to champion her cause.

I am a Vietnam Vet!
Jane Fonda is a Traitor to America and should be incarcerated at Gitmo for the rest of her sorry, anti-American life.
She came to Vietnam and causes many American POW lives to be cut short. All the POW’s in Vietnam suffered because of this TRAITOR and anti-American woman.
Many of the POW’s tried to send her a message to take home so their loved ones knew they were still alive – and what did this whore do? She turned over the PRIVATE messages to the Vietnamese who killed many of those POW’s and made life hell for the rest of them.
She deserves to die in Gitmo! There is not ONE American Vietnam Veteran who supports her for anything other than going to Gitmo for the rest of her sorry, traitorous life! She destroyed thousands of American lives by her Anti-American BS and going to Vietnam and NOT helping our POW’s!
WE want her held accountable and locked up for the rest of her sorry life. And seize all of her assets and pay them to the victims and the families of those she had killed with her actions!
