Leonardo DiCaprio told Charlie Rose in an interview Thursday that climate change is “the biggest problem that mankind has ever had to face,” ahead of the international refugee crises being fueled by the deadly rise of the Islamic State. “It is the most existential human crisis that the world has ever known, in my opinion,” DiCaprio said.
