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.

Question: Why do facts need consensus?

Answer: Because they aren’t real facts.

Leo, I’m so happy you have formulated a general theory of climate when no one else could. Hell yes sacrifice freedom in the name of science and everyone will praise you when they realize what they have sacrificed!! (Sarcasm in this response seem clear).

Well, he would say that about something he believes will destroy the Earth.

He would say that when he believes that many people are hopelessly ignorant and can’t be reasoned with.

The problem is that he’s completely wrong and won’t listen to reason.

He, along with Sean Penn, are among those I will never watch on TV or in a movie. Can’t stand that little creep. Now I dislike him even more.

The Romans Banned Actors and Prostitutes from Voting or participating in Government, maybe they were on to something.

During the time of Mary I, being "a player in interludes" appears to have been a common criminal charge, which I take to mean an unlicensed actor. Many of these "players" were burned at the stake.

Science is never settled. Its why they keep learning and searching and reversing positions again and again.

Dicaprio was born after the 70s when they ran all the global ice age/cooling stuff. That didnt scare people so they went the other way on corrupt and edited data and piss poor inaccurate computer models.

Non scientists should not be allowed to speak publicly about science.
