Fresh off his Golden Globe win, Leonardo DiCaprio drew ooohs, ahhs and smiles from a crowd as he was honored for his work against the climate crisis at the World Economic Forum in Davos. Then he ripped into Big Oil.
The Hollywood star of "The Revenant" traded the North American snows for white Alpine slopes at a ceremony Tuesday where he announced his foundation was donating another $15 million to environmental projects, and pleaded with business leaders and other notables on hand to help battle climate change.
"We simply cannot allow the corporate greed of the coal, oil and gas industries to determine the future of humanity," DiCaprio said to polite applause. "Those entities with a financial interest in preserving this destructive system have denied and even covered up the evidence of our changing climate."
"Enough is enough. You know better. The world knows better. History will place the blame for this devastation squarely at their feet."

That is his house??? Ugh! With all his money I expected he would live someplace that was attractive.
Is that his home? It’s ugly, whoever it belongs to.
Lol
He spent 250,000 on private jet hires last summer in just six weeks
You have to wonder his private jet bill a year?
A big footprint in his world
You’re very very wrong
Google it
Nice picture of his girlfriend though!
I assume this is how DiCaprio got to the "Davos Confab".
My same thought! I was shocked because it looks like concrete blocks. No plants. Too bad it’s not my money ;)
He has been raised from birth to always do what he is told to do and say.When he obeys this, he gets a huge paycheck.
Bear Man Pig approves this message.
If you want to post settled science, please keep your terminology straight.

Leo, Mother Nature doesn’t consider anything under $20 million. Those winter storm warnings and freezes today must be just a joke.
How did he get to Switzerland? Did he walk and swim? No . . . “big oil” got him there.
“Celebrities - Is there anything they don’t know?”
Oh, look . . . he has a few solar panels on the roof. But I also count 6 cars.
He does have solar panels on the roof, probably enough to run a toaster or a blender.
Don't forget the Milankovitch Effect.
As well as Man Bear Pig.
Wonder if Lenny ever think fedgov, who confiscates more money from everyone, in ways he probably doesnt’ even know about, a tsunami compared to what oil companies make for a useful product, if they ever register on his radar as greedy or evil. course they do not.
taxes. fees. interest. confiscation of property. eminent domain. asset forfeiture, no crime needed. personal taxes. business taxes. death taxes taxing already taxed money, again. social security ponzi scheme most people alive now did not personally sign up for, but cannot quit and get their money back - legal servitude. paying others who will not work.
You can bet his lawn was thick and green during the drought.
I suppose all his clothes and equipment and transportation was manufactured and provided by only small “green” companies; right?
Shut up and act.
Thank you, that makes perfect sense!
