Seems the Wolf of Wall Street has a few economic ideas for halting climate change. In a new documentary called “Carbon,” released online Wednesday, narrator Leonardo DiCaprio contends that trillions of dollars’ worth of fossil fuels are awaiting commercial extraction from the ground — and that if we burn them, our planet is toast.

Clocking in at under nine minutes, the short doesn't mince words: DiCaprio and climate scientists argue that coal, natural gas and other carbon-based forms of energy are a "monster" that has created catastrophic surges in the earth’s surface temperature. In response, some lawmakers around the world are tinkering with ways to make carbon more expensive, and sustainable forms of energy — such as wind power — cheap.

He must be fighting green plant monsters that are growing like crazy eating up the CO2. Like Oaks, Maples, Pines - they're so scary!

The only good part of Titanic was when Jack died.

The dinosaurs were on the planet for 135 million years. Does Leo think humans are going to last anywhere near that by reducing global warming? The dinosaurs didn’t know what hit them and it will probably be the same for us some day.

“DiCaprio and climate scientists argue that coal, natural gas and other carbon-based forms of energy are a “monster” that has created catastrophic surges in the earth’s surface temperature.”

How completely stupid. How many lives have coal and nat gas saved or made a lot easier? Millions, hundreds of millions?

This is a direct attack on the middle class and most people don't realize it!

Let me see the size of his house, horsepower of his cars, number of miles flown in private jets, then we can understand if he is serious in his concern.

How many personal aircraft does he own and how often does he fly in them? Also, how many homes does he own? He probably has a carbon footprint the size of a corporation.

So, following the logic we should crank up the SUVs and start “polluting.”
