Curtis, who was promoting her horror, environment-themed graphic novel "Mother Nature," wasted no time in emphasizing the ecological message of the project.
"We're f**king the world. There is a possibility of change, but we're going to have to do it, and I'm really thrilled to see how enthusiastic you guys are for this beautiful piece," Curtis passionately expressed during the panel, as reported by the Hollywood Reporter.
She further highlighted the urgency of the issue by stating, "It's happening today! We are the hottest we've ever been in this country this week. I mean, talk about good timing. Seriously, we couldn't be talking about something more important."

Russell Goldman, the other writer of the graphic novel, shared his personal connection to the issue, revealing that he was influenced by Al Gore's film "An Inconvenient Truth" as a child.

I saw 'An Inconvenient Truth' when I was like 11 years old, so like the idea of climate change nightmare scenarios has been rattling around ever since I've had a complex thought."
