"Like most A-list celebrities in Hollywood, Leonardo DiCaprio is frequently in the news.
There’s DiCaprio, in Cannes, France, on David Geffen’s mega yacht, alone. And there he is on a different yacht in St. Tropez with his blonde of the month.
There he is getting off a private plane in the celebrity uniform of sunglasses and hoodie. And there he is getting on one again.
And last week, there he was in Davos, Switzerland, lecturing us all and blaming corporate greed for causing global climate change.
It might be funny if it weren’t so galling.
Polls have long shown that Americans either don’t believe in global climate change or don’t consider it a serious issue. A Pew poll last November found that the United States was behind only
China in its “concern” about climate change — but that such concern has grown substantially.
What polls also show, however, is that Americans are learning another lesson from our supposed elites: Believing in the existence of climate change or feeling “concern” is enough. Furrow your brow, and you’re a hero. Even as belief and concern has increased in America, our behavior has stayed the same.
Could it be that we are hearing the hysterical pleas of “environmental activists” to change our ways or face doom and noticing that not only are they not changing their ways, but that their ways are far worse than our own? The loudest, most obnoxious and aggressive voices telling us the world is about to end plain old don’t act like it.
Who can forget Al Gore predicting the North Pole would be ice-free by 2014, and starring in the environmental catastrophe film “An Inconvenient Truth,” all while racking up an electric bill 20 times the national average for his 20-room house and pool house."
