During the United Nations Climate Action Summit at the U.N. headquarters in New York City on Tuesday, Leonardo DiCaprio -- who was recently named the Messenger of Peace for the international organization -- told those in attendance that it's time to answer the greatest challenge of our existence on this planet. You can make history or be vilified by it.
To be clear, this is not about just telling people to change their light bulbs or to buy a hybrid car, DiCaprio said. This disaster has grown beyond the choices that individuals make. This is now about our industries and governments around the world taking decisive, large-scale action.

Idiot hasn’t given up his private jet yet? What about all those disposable diapers and pull ups they use on their kids? They take 500 yrs to decompose in the land fills. Takes a long time for that cup from Starbucks to decompose too. What about his gas guzzling cars? Do you recycle, collect rain water in barrels to water your mansions lawn and gardens?
My middle class neighbor has his whole lawn and garden on rain water, and he recycles.
We take all the stuff our city will let us recycle down to the bins. No home collection. Grass clippings are mulched into the lawn.
"Wolf of Wall Street" was a good movie, but I only needed to see it once. I'm not a prude by any stretch of the imagination, but by the end of the movie I'd seen enough F-Words, drugs and naked women for a good while.
“Beyond personal choices” translates as “stop hassling me about my yachts and private jets”.
I think he just borrows it or charters it
The only reason why he is rich and famous is that he has a baby face and a talented hairdresser.
Behind that baby face is a fascist, willing to force the citizens to comply with his leftist agenda.
Of course, he would not comply, since he is a member of the elite.
DiCaprio is on the payroll of OPEC
I never liked the guy and avoid his movies but by what sleight of hand did Leonardo Decaprio suddenly become a climate spokesman for the UN? I’m guessing that means they don’t really have anybody with credentials pushing this nonsense anymore.
DiCaprio Gives Rousing Climate Change Speech At UNThen Flies To One Of His 5 luxury Homes In His Personal Jet
Same here ... well, I might fish one of his movies out of the discount bin some day, but only to add to his depredation.
When they bring out the movie stars they think we’ll all fall into line.
“To be clear, this is not about just telling people to change their light bulbs or to buy a hybrid car, DiCaprio said. This disaster has grown beyond the choices that individuals make. This is now about our industries and governments around the world taking decisive, large-scale action.
I see his statement about individual choices having no bearing means he can keep jetting around between stops on his super yacht.
The UN and Hollywood. “I’ll take what are the 2 most corrupt and useless groups on the planet for $500 Alex....”
Ummm- kids in the ghetto have section 8 housing which is paid for by the taxpayer.
This clown is living proof that, in Amerika, even morons can get rich.
The Topaz is not his. It's owned by a middle-eastern billionaire. He did stay on it at the World Cup, which I'm certain he traveled to in a private jet.
I don’t normally go for name calling, but in this case you nailed the moron to the core. I don’t fear De Caprio; I fear the morons who are using him.
You first, pretty boy.
Give up your 200 foot yacht. Give up your 100 room mansion. Give up your private planes.
“beyond personal choices”, what a dishonest little stinking Marxist.

An Important Message From The UKs Top Scientist
Antarctica is likely to be the worlds only habitable continent by the end of this century
http://stevengoddard.wordpress.com/2012/09/22/an-important-message-from-the-uks-top-scientist/
[ASND recommends a review of the Antarctica section on our Polar Ice Sheets page for contextual comparison.]
Floridas Hurricanes:
Florida used to average about one hurricane per year, and now averages about one every other year. The ongoing stretch of non-hurricanes is the longest on record, and looks like it will extend into its eighth year. This is completely consistent with climate model forecasts of more frequent and larger hurricanes.
So is this, btw
