Video Mocks Leonardo DiCaprio for Being Climate ‘Hypocrite’

Video Mocks Leo DiCaprio for Being Climate 'Hypocrite' (The Weekly Standard)

A new video by the Environmental Policy Alliance mocks Hollywood celebrity Leonardo DiCaprio for being "just another celebrity hypocrite" when it comes to the topic of climate change:

"Leonardo DiCaprio wants you to know how much he cares about the environment. Just last month, at a UN climate summit, Leo reminded the world that he is 'not an expert' but still has a lot of important things to say. For instance, he dubbed climate change 'humankind’s greatest challenge,' calling on the UN to 'make history' by taking 'decisive, large-scale action' with 'courage and honesty,'" reads a press release accompanying the video's release.

Unfortunately, Leo fails to live up to his own words. Far from taking a “courageous” stand against climate change, Leo travels around the world in super yachts and private jets. Meanwhile, the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), on whose board Leo sits, advocates for strict vehicle emission standards and aggressive carbon dioxide regulations.
