Leonardo DiCaprio
The Prius-driving Hollywood star is the leading climate change celebrity.
DiCaprio has received praise from environmental groups for opting to fly on commercial flights instead of chartering private jets.
His actions have inspired other celebrities, such as Orlando Bloom and Penelope Cruz. Co-wrote, co-produced and narrated the film 11th Hour and cites global warming as "the number one environmental challenge."
Thom Yorke
Lead singer of critically acclaimed rock outfit Radiohead, is outspoken on various contemporary political and social issues.
Yorke made headlines for refusing former prime minister Tony Blair's request to meet him to discuss climate change, declaring Blair had "no environmental credentials."
Yorke has subsequently been critical of his own energy use. He has said the music industry's use of air transport is dangerous and unsustainable, and that he would consider not touring if new carbon emissions standards do not force the situation to improve.
Radiohead commissioned a study by the group Best Foot Forward which the band claims helped them choose venues and transport methods that will greatly reduce the carbon expended on their 2008 tour. The band also made use of a new low-energy LED lighting system and encouraged festivals to offer reusable plastics.

“Copenhagen climate conference: celebrity supporters (”Celebrities” still promoting the fraud)”
Now to be fair, fraud in their industry is called a script!
Many Freepers are mistaken if they think this fraud will stop now that some hacked emails have surfaced.
I think the following video documentary would be more effective...
Its one thing to gripe and complain about these things and disagree with it, but its quite another to convince your friends and neighbors and relatives and coworkers...
THEREFORE..., its also absolutely necessary for people to know the information in the following documentary. If there were simply one video that you could see and/or show people you know... this would be the one...
The following is an excellent video documentary on the so-called Global Warming I would recommend it to all FReepers. Its a very well-made documentary.

Buy it on DVD here...
[this would be the very highest quality version, on a DVD disk, of several gigabytes in size...] At Amazon, it seems to be high-priced now and have only a few copies right now.

I make no illusion that the fraud will stop but the more the word gets out of the fraud the less people will support the fraud.
“Radiohead”?
I was thinking this beady eyed weasel is more like the head of another part of his/their private anatomy.
Good band, the usual stupid political and social viewpoints.
We need more conservative artists and writers, media, etc., more attuned to reality and pragmatism.
CELEBUTARDS..................
Someone needs to write up a concise precis of what was discovered in the Climategate dump, then make sure it receives wide coverage. I hate spam, but perhaps one of those “forward this to four friends” kind of mails might be a good idea. They’re viral, and impossible to stop.
The science of CAGW was weak to begin with, and now that we know it’s based on out-and-out fraud starting with the hockey stick, there’s no way one single red cent should go towards it - much less any tax money!
I’m hoping to go on an Alaskan polar bear hunt sometime in 2012, myself... =:-D
Er, 2013...I’m not counting on impeachment. ;-)
BTW, thanks for posting those links! Going into the archive I’m building for my granddaughter.
I don't fly at all, and I know I've got a smaller carbon footprint than Leo. Shouldn't they be praising me even more?
Celebritries only goal in life is to get their picture in the press and the less clothes the better. But only after they have had mountains of plastic surgery.
You’re welcome... :-)
I searched but couldn’t find it. Link? Title?
TIA! :-)
