Beverly Hills: Climate Hypocrite DiCaprio Expands Carbon Footprint.

Supporting charities is a different animal. That doesn't impose a cost on me unless I voluntarily decide to contribute.

 

I'm not sure what constitutes "conman ways." Does that involve trade and immigration?

 

I'm sorry, but this sounds absurd to me.

If you were serious about actually reducing carbon, we would convert our oil, coal, and natural gas power plants over to nuclear. In the decades that transition is happening, the technology for replacing petroleum in vehicles is moving ahead, so that practical electrical vehicles will gradually replace petroleum powered vehicles. By 2050, you could substantially reduce our carbon output without sacrifices.

 

EDUCATE, exactly. The very best way to do that is by example. Show people that the sky won't fall if they give up their travel and big houses.

The changes (bike paths etc) will come AFTER we decide we want them. That's how everything works. We demand, and industry/politics respond.

 

The 'top' does our bidding. It has to come from us.

 

Okay, so it's not humans buying the product and services of those companies.

Please tell us who/what is buying their products? The animals? Off-planet aliens?

 

yea ,pretty simple stuff ..you must be a corporate soldier

blame movie stars and give the corporate world a pass for climate change

 

Unfortunately about 99% of First World 'climate activists' are just as hypocritical. It's just a hobby for them ... to talk about it. It's like talking about socialism, as opposed to do anything remotely socialist.

 

It's not about how much property he owns, it's about whether he uses that property to resource the maximum number of people that it can support.

 

If he claims to be passionate about the planet, then yes. Obviously he should be living in a 'hovel'.

If he wants to live in his empty mansions, he should shut up and stop LARPing. Just ****ing own his profligacy, and be honest.

 

I'm not so sure about it being a hobby. I think these people who are paid to pretend to be someone else often lose themselves in the identities they portray on the screen. Think about Al Pacino's persona after dog Day afternoon.

Celebrities love admiration and when they're only admired for what other people write for them it takes away from admiration of them. The latest movie I saw was DiCaprio in it was shutter Island and prior to that I had seen a few movies with him in it and he was a good actor I don't know about now.

He wants recognition and the climate change group of people are all about hanging out recognition I think that's their primary purpose. And it's the easiest way to virtue signal.

I think these people are extraordinarily shallow depraved and empty, that's why they glom onto things like climatology and Scientology

 

I have no argument with your thoughts on celebrity. They are the poster children for 'misfit teens', in effect - and most do stay in that arrested development stasis of the overgrown teenager.

I was mainly referring to the average middle class climate warrior. They're mostly liars.

 

the ones that don't become depraved deviants. Hollywood pedophilia comes to mind

well it's essentially finger wagging from a place of privilege. Just reminds me of the way titlers would lecture people who drink socially I'll at the same time they would go home and suck down a bottle of medical alcohol so that nobody knew they were alcoholics.

I wonder if it's not a way to assuage guilt.

 

Fallacy, argumentum ad hominem. I am not the topic of this thread. A factual rebuttal referencing the topic would better support your argument.

Leo can keep his air conditioner at 52F in his ten homes and fly all the private jets he wants to his 300-foot yacht which consumes more energy that a small city. But he can **** himself in the eye socket with a power drill if he has the nerve to tell me how I should live. I think you may have missed the point of this thread.

 

It's not the expansion of real estate that makes him a hypocrite. And I would say no he's not supposed to live in a hole just not a sprawling over the top mansion that costs tens of thousands of dollars to heat and cool. He isn't a mouthpiece for climate change he said dagger in the heart of it.

He's not supposed to live in a hovel but maybe a modest house with modest vehicles and no airplanes.

Doesn't this guy also possess giant boats? I think the only other thing he can address that more damaging to climate than boats is a volcano that he can make erupt.

This guy probably does more damage to the climate than 5 million of the people he is lecturing. And everybody who is in mesmerized by the fact that he's a celebrity knows that.

 

In his defense, his private jet does have a "Save the Planet" sticker on it!

 

Lol so if I say "save the whales" as I dump cadmium into the ocean is all good.

That's environmentalism I suppose.

 

The sooner we reinstate the old 'stage people are lower than prostitutes' sentiment of pre-1900 Europe, the better. It's the same idea which underpinned the general Asian prohibition of women and civilised men in theatre. It was strictly for 'low life' males.

Since pretty much the entirety of humanity understood these people as the misfits and losers that they actually are, and have always understood that, it seems overdue for a rejig.

Our mistake was to actually start thinking of them as not just ordinary folk, but actually go so far as to see them as high quality, important people.

 

So every time the government spends money on something invalid that is theft? Who should be prosecuted for that?

 

Thats awesome. But we also need global action.

 

Go ahead and support charities, thats an awesome thing to do. But we also need global climate action.

 

IMO, yes. The government should stick to its job.

 

I believe nuclear, wind, and solar should be adopted. Also we should look into nuclear fusion, hydrogen, build dams, etc. Investing in bike friendly cities and public transportation are more important than EVs. This is because half the carbon footprint of cars comes from their production so EVs aren't close to zero carbon.

 

We have a lot of evidence our CO2 emissions are diving radical and catastrophic climate change, and the only way to stop it is to reduce our emissions. Spending money to reduce climate change will help thousands of future generations and is very very valid.
