Sophie Turner Faces Backlash for Climate Change Post Amid Israel-Hamas Conflict and Ongoing Divorce
Actress Advocates for Positive Power Plan Despite Criticism, Continues Co-parenting Amid Divorce Proceedings
- Sophie Turner, the Game of Thrones actress, has faced backlash for posting about climate change amid the ongoing Israeli airstrikes in Gaza. She encouraged people to sign up to the 'Positive Power' campaign, an initiative spearheaded by Australian billionaire mining magnate, Andrew Forrest, aimed at stopping global warming and integrating clean energy resources.
- Turner's post comes amid her ongoing divorce with Joe Jonas, which initially made headlines just months ago. The couple have two daughters, Willa, 3, and Delphine, 1, and have agreed that the children will spend time equally in loving homes in both the U.S. and the UK.
- Turner's Instagram post about climate change was her first social media activity since announcing her divorce from Jonas. The post was met with mixed reactions, with some criticizing her for speaking about climate change in the midst of the Israel-Hamas conflict.
- Despite the criticism, Turner has continued to advocate for the Positive Power Plan, which she says has worked out fair and safe ways to help millions of people transition to renewable energy.
- Turner and Jonas announced their split in September, with Jonas filing for divorce on the grounds that 'the marriage between the parties is irretrievably broken.'
