He's a high profile advocate of environmental causes, believes the world must act now to combat the effects of global climate change and is producing documentaries about endangered species.
But accusations of hypocrisy have also dogged Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio, 40, with detractors accusing him of not practicing what he preaches.
Now with RadarOnline reporting Friday that he took six private jet flights in just six weeks last year, it may prove hard for the actor to justify the need to avail himself of more than $200,000 worth of private travel between LA and New York in such a short period of time.

We live in a world where the elites are entitled and exempt.
Rules are for the little people.
Gee, wouldn’t it be a climate crisis if we peons flew as much as DiCaprio and Algore do? Instead, we just want to grill our burgers in the summer and burn our wood stoves in the winter to feed our children and heat our homes…and WE are the climate criminals! Such hypocrisy should result in public shaming and derision to these bullying elites. Here is where the real class warfare should be fought.

He’s special
The Lear jet leftists expect to form the core of the global Green Inner Party. There they will continue to enjoy the finest foods and most advanced gadgets the world has to offer — while deciding your fate for you.
If you work very hard and show them your unwavering loyalty you may be permitted to join the global Green Outer Party. You will be allowed occasional servings of meat - and air conditioning on a rationed basis.
The rest of us will eat insects and swelter — for the good of the planet.
“ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL
BUT SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS.”

I say good for him. Fly your jet and take a stand on ecology, but don’t be surprised when we, the little people, push you out of the way.
We all must conserve resources so that rich liberals will not have to do without.
Typical LIB loser hypocrite. Shut up and act.
You have to be a hypocrite to be a liberal. There are a few traits that are mandatory to be considered a liberal. You must be delusional, a hypocrite, self loathing, have false feelings of self importance, be a whiny little douche and have absolutely no common sense.
Yup. And guess who WILL get to go to bio spheres devoid of human influence. The same asshats who champion saving the erf. For them. Screw the peons. Let ‘em eat pine nuts.
I, evil white conservative male, hated by Social Justice Warriors, DC politicians and bureaucrats, and caricatured in the media as backward and unaware, live in an energy-efficient 800 sq. ft. domicile wherein all lighting is provided by a total of 110 watts (all on) of highly efficient, dimmable LED lighting, the power for which is generated by 2 - 250 watt solar panels and stored in 4 deep cycle marine batteries, which also provides power for a sine-wave inverter which powers and charges the computer, network and phone. I drive an automobile with a 1.3 liter fuel injected engine that gets 37 mpg in the city, and I drive under 5K miles / year.
Decaprio’s “carbon footprint” for a day eclipses mine in a year.
But, being a progressive Hollywood star, his hypocrisy and self-entitlement is justified because, “The narrative is more important than the facts.”
Did you make that up?
I love it.
Alas, the movie-going public put them where they are, yet we are so fast to criticize when their hypocrisy comes to full light. Why do we even care what they say on such topics when we know they don't practice what they preach. Stupid.
Leo is also not afraid of the “rising seas” from “climate change globull warming”. He bought an island off Belize and it is being built as a high-end resort and multimillion dollar homes.
