Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio sent out a message about global warming at the Cannes Film Festival.

The heartthrob has made a film, the 11th Hour, warning that human beings face extinction as a result of the environmental crisis.

At a press conference in the South of France following the screening, The Blood Diamond actor, 32, attacked US President George Bush, saying: "It's very simple. He's done very little for the environmental movement."

The Titanic star's latest film, which he narrates, follows another environmental warming documentary by former US Presidential candidate Al Gore, shown at the Cannes Film Festival last year.

DiCaprio defended Gore from criticism over the amount of energy he has been reportedly using to jet around the world and to run his home.

"Don't shoot the messenger", he said. "This person is trying to relay a message to the public and the way that he travels should not be splayed out like that."

DiCaprio said it should be oil companies that came under scrutiny and that the Government should make systematic change.

The US star said he took steps in his own life to reduce global warming, telling the famous film festival: "I do try to live my life in a green manner. I have installed solar panels in my house and the car that I drive is a hybrid one.

"But it's more about the day-to-day things, being conscious about being a consumer, about looking to endorse green technology. People ask, 'what can a hybrid car do?' It's not about that. It's about being a consumer, the choices you make everyday."

Oh, shut up already!!

Hey you brainiac, DeCraprio....the gov’t profits MORE off of gasoline sales than the oil companies! And, it’s just the “middleman.”

The whole planet faces extinction in less then five billion years unless Vega smashes head on in fifty million years.

Leonardo Dicaprio is an idiot. There, I said it and I feel better for having said it.

We're Doomed!

We're Doomed!

We're Doomed!

[lag along]

Given his sexual orientation, his gene line will certainly be extinguished.

I am sick to death of the left and its constant "preaching" the religion of global warming. I would think most right thinking Americans are getting their fill.

The average person sees these "spokesmen" flying here and there and traveling in their SUVs. Most people I know think these actors are nothing but dimwitted hypocrites.

[Uncle Hal]

Leo is an idiot.

[slow5poh]

I agree, what an idiot. I am so tired of rich stars, they get popular and rich and all of the sudden they become experts on US politics. I find very few stars or entertainers that i can stand anymore. Is it a requirement to be a liberal and an elitist when you get famous?

[Tax-chick]

It takes a certain level of brain function just to maintain a heartbeat ...

I often wonder why these folks don’t just drop over dead because they had too few synapses firing to keep breathing.

[Brilliant]

In that case, Leonardo, send all of your money to the following address.....

[whenigettime]

I think it is a requirement to show ones’ self an idiot once the photodudes are all over you. I really appreciate the hollywood ones who go private and only show up in really good movies.

[ArcadeQuarters]

He’s a celebrity. He must know what he’s talking about.

[Cringing Negativism Network]

Decaprio endangered millions of innocent creatures when he and his film crew devastated a Thai beach.

He should move to France.

Leonardo Di Crappio

Poor Leo forgot Abe Lincoln’s advice:

“Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.”

[slow5poh]

It is very sad to me, it’s hard for me to have any respect for almost anyone in the entertainment industry. Even good ol’ eastwood seems to be leaning left as of late. Every time i liked an actor or singer, they would come out with some liberal crap. For example, alot of the rock groups that I like expunge liberal crap.

[Gideon Reader]

Like this Schmuck has any inkling of what the entire subject is about.
He is pushing it as a mediocre actor, and no kind of scientist.
The mirror reflection of AL Gore in a none too clean toilet bowl.

[kenth]

If humans, who caused the global warming problem, go extinct, wouldn’t that fix the problem?

[Silly]

They only do this for the publicity, folks. Getting their names in the papers is everything. Some take it seriously, but most are just playing the game.

How else will he get his name in print? He’d, like, have to do something remarkable.
