Environmentalist and climatologist Leonardo DiCpario sets an example

While singer, dancer and all around performer Beyonce reportedly responsibly heated up Coachella with a knockout performance this past week end, renowned climatologist, environmentologist, actor and all around Concerned Citizen, Leonardo DiCaprio wasn't as thoughtful.

Leaving one of his many luxurious, energy guzzling homes, he scooted to the event on his fume spewing private plane where the 40+ star enjoyed the company of various women, all well under 30.

“I’ll believe it’s a crisis when the people who keep telling me it’s a crisis start acting like it’s a crisis.” -Glenn Reynolds

It is a mark of the moral bankruptcy of the left that "leading by example" is an unfamiliar concept.

Well yeah. Quite down peasants. If want anything from you will tell you where and when. Otherwise, shhh. Maybe he's doing his part for erf day this coming Saturday. Sad to say the weather looks like it will be almost perfect for the festivities here in Reno. I was hoping for a nice AR to come in and chill/wet things down but alas, that's today and tonight apparently.

DiCaprio does a movie every 2-3 years and lives like a king while lecturing everyone else.

Well, where does he live? I can’t stand the guy, but if he lives in NY, did they want him to drive to the CA desert? Then again, if he lives in LA, his plane was kinda overkill. Though I flew that hop before from LA to PS. But I’m not a Climate Worshipper.

DiCaprio works very hard to convince himself that he is not really gay.

Is he too good to fly commercial? If he is then he should FTFU about climate change.

Same here. Can’t stand him. Never could understand the draw. Very creepy vibe. He needs to come out of the closet.

“renowned climatologist”

A mouthpiece and nothing more.

He can fly first class he is so chooses. Better yet if climate change is such a dire issue, why not sell his excess homes and move into a modest 1500 sqft home in California. A person also only needs one vehicle and never has a need for any pleasure craft like boats, RVs, ATVs, etc. He could also cut down his wardrobe to around 10-15 outfits and only eat local sourced food. None of that Japanese Waygu beef or flown in sushi.

If any of these Climate scholar-warrior-poets were serious, they would at least mention that China produces over twice the pollution the United States does. But it’s completely off their radar.

Ever notice how the super wealthy lecture us yet give up nothing of their lifestyle.

Now compare to the family trying to just get clean water and something to eat. They could care less about "climate change".

Perhaps he could have flown first class on a commercial flight instead of using an entire airplane for himself - you know, if he was dedicated to the cause.

Personally, I don't care how many flights he takes in his private plane. He is [presumably] wealthy enough to afford it, so more power to him.

It is his hypocrisy that turns me off.

Ed Bagely Jr is the only “celebrity” I’ll listen to on this issue. The dude walks the talk.

I’m pretty sure that was sarcasm.

California should pass a law that anyone with 2 or more empty bedrooms in their house have to provide the excess to the homeless.

Interesting how anyone can call themselves an Environmentalist and Climatologist, as long as they have Hollywood and the leftist media behind them.

“Climatologist Leonardo DiCpario”

Apparently “American Thinker” isn’t doing much thinking these days.

Nah. If they were REALLY serious, they’d do like that gay activist/eco wanker lawyer did in a public park in Brooklyn last weekend. I guess self immolation to protest fossil fuels is cleansing?

Real sacrifices are for you little people - certainly not for we politicians and Hollywood types. Don’t touch the silk, peasants.
