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."

Curtis, who co-wrote the graphic novel, emphasized that the climate change argument is non-partisan, stating, "I don't care what side you're on. It's happening, and there are things we can do to ameliorate it and to try to stem the tide, excuse the pun. S**t is happening, and so it feels absolutely on point right now."

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. "It's happening right now, and there's a lot of stupid f**ks out there that think it's not happening right now," a reporter from IGN remarked, prompting Goldman to respond, "Yes, and I think that was one of the challenges all three of us faced. 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."
In March 2023, Curtis made headlines when she announced on the "Today" show that she would be using they/them pronouns to refer to her Oscar trophy. "Here they are," Curtis said, affectionately stroking the statue. "In support of my daughter Ruby," the actress continued, "I'm having them be a they/them." Curtis explained that she would now refer to the trophy as "them they/them," and added, "They are doing great" while mentioning that "they're settling in."
