Full title: Done saving the planet, Leo? Di Caprio hops from his helicopter into a gas-guzzling private jet as he leaves Saint Tropez just hours after his celebrity eco fundraiser

Eco warrior wannabe Leonardo DiCaprio is back doing what he does best: Fighting for the environment while simultaneously contributing to its demise.

On Wednesday, DiCaprio hosted his annual eco fundraiser gala, which saw an impressive cast of A Listers descend on St Tropez to raise funds for various conservation projects.

'We are the last generation that has a chance to stop climate change before it is too late,' the Oscar winner told the crowd.

But his sentiment would be more believable had he not hopped off a helicopter to board a gas guzzling private jet two days later.

Critics will be quick to note that the actor's private jet trips undermine his moral authority to preach reducing carbon emissions.

Most celebrities don’t believe what they preach. It’s just a “cause” to gain favor with the public. Especially pretty-face airhead “heartthrobs” like this jerk.

Having a “cause” usually means a tax write off for these heroes.

More than a tax write off. I am sure he is getting compensation for his face time.
Followers of the Liberal religion totally absolve their priests and priestesses of all temporal sins committed in return for their blessings. It is called ‘Simple Simony’.

Hahaha...the idiots trying to justify this phony’s actions say “he pays a carbon tax to offset the impact”.
What these MORONS don’t know or won’t admit is that a “carbon tax” is simply a way of the Left moving money from one hand to the other. A “carbon tax” does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to help the environment.

I will burn a huge pile of tree limbs in Leo’s honor. But I won’t contribute 1/1000 of Leo’s footprint. Hypocrite.

Reminds me of when Arafat would make all warm and fuzzy when talking to the West (in English), then turn right around and rabble-rouse against the west with his PLO buddies (in his native tongue).

All the while stealing billions for himself.

Didn’t they get the memo? Carbon credits take care of everything.

Since DiCaprio isn’t actually harming the environment via using his jet, it would be in his best interests to start denouncing the global warming myth. Otherwise, there will inevitably be a Leftist who will try to kill him for his hypocrisy.

Nor does limiting carbon. The carbon/warming nexus is a hoax as is the entire "climate change" spiel. The best way we can "help the environment" is to pick up litter.

Silly stuff there....we all know that the energy guzzlers really don’t cause harm to the environment. The noise they make is worse than the “pollution” of the air.

Now, if we could only find a way to PREVENT VOLCANOES, we would be on to something that would “help” the world.
