October 03, 2016, 08:46 pm DiCaprio: Climate change deniers shouldn't hold public office

By Jessie Hellmann

Politicians who don't believe in climate change should not hold public office, said actor Leonardo DiCaprio Monday at the White House before the screening of his new climate documentary.

"The scientific consensus is in and the argument is now over," DiCaprio said at the White House's South By South Lawn event.

"If you do not believe in climate change, you do not believe in facts, or in science or empirical truths and therefore, in my humble opinion, should not be allowed to hold public office."

DiCaprio screened his film "Before the Flood," a documentary about climate change. Ahead of the screening, he spoke on a panel with President Obama.

When Leo lives in a mud hut, no technology, no private transport, and petroleum based products, I might listen to him for a few seconds.

Celebrities that keep pushing globull warming need to keep their mouth shut. Just because they make movies all of a sudden they have phd’s and are experts in areas they know nothing about.

I’d like to see Dicaprio debate this guy.

If he was a true believer his yacht would be powers by sail, he would ditch his cars for public transportation, he’d power his house completely with solar, and he’d share his mansions with hundreds of Syrian refugees.

Since he won’t do the right thing, he should be disqualified from making movies.

I’ve got one question for Leonardo DiCaprio, and it’s the same question I’ve got for everybody:

What is the sine of forty five degrees ? ... exactly.

Hate to be monomaniacal, but if I live to see the day when everybody knows the answer ... that would be something.

Those who sell influence, misuse national Secrets, lie to Benghazi victims families, lie to Congress, lie to the American people, who are inherently dishonest, and deny everything listed shouldn’t hold office.
