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.

“His opinion is very humble indeed.”
Reminds me of Winston Churchill’s
Observation of Attlee;
“Mr. Attlee is a very modest man. Indeed he has a lot to be modest about.

Early life DiCaprio was born in Hollywood, California,[2] the only child of Irmelin (née Indenbirken), a German-born legal secretary, and George DiCaprio, an underground comics artist and producer and distributor of comic books.[3] DiCaprio's father is of half Italian (from the Naples area) and half German (from Bavaria) descent.[4][5][6] DiCaprio's maternal grandfather, Wilhelm Indenbirken, was German.[7] His maternal grandmother, Helene Indenbirken (19152008),[8] a German citizen, was born as Yelena Smirnova in Russia.[9][10] In an interview in Russia, DiCaprio referred to himself as "half Russian" and said that two of his late grandparents were Russians.[11] DiCaprio's parents met while attending college and subsequently moved to Los Angeles.[4] He was named Leonardo because his pregnant mother was looking at a Leonardo da Vinci painting in a museum in Italy when DiCaprio first kicked.[12] His parents separated when he was a year old, and he lived mostly with his mother.[13] The two lived in several Los Angeles neighborhoods, such as Echo Park, and at 1874 Hillhurst Avenue in the Los Feliz district (which was later converted into a local public library), while his mother worked several jobs to support them.[4] He attended Seeds Elementary School (now UCLA Lab School) and John Marshall High School a few blocks away, after attending the Los Angeles Center for Enriched Studies for four years.[14] However, he dropped out of high school following his third year, eventually earning his general equivalency diploma (GED).[15][16] DiCaprio spent part of his childhood in Germany with his maternal grandparents, Wilhelm and Helene. He speaks a little German and Italian.[17][18][19] from wiki

It’s the same game they play with Immigration.
We say we want to stop ILLEGAL Immigration, they say we want to stop Immigration.
We don’t deny that the Climate might be changing, we just don’t buy that it is caused my Man.
There aren’t that many Climate Change deniers since we have had numerous Ice Ages, but there are many Man Made Climate Change Deniers.
Ask one of these Bozos how you stop Climate Change, they haven’t a clue. If they blame Man for it there is only one way to stop it, get rid of Man. Simple, yet Elegant...

Climate change deniers shouldn't hold public office. And my counterpoint is that "Loony leftist moron actors should keep their mouths shut because no one cares what their feeble, weak minds have been indoctrinated to believe."

Actually, it is people who do not support and defend the constitution that should not hold office.
