Leonardo DiCaprio praised China’s work to combat climate change on a trip to Beijing on Sunday, and said he believes the world’s largest emitter of greenhouse gases could be “the hero of the environmental movement.”

The actor and environmentalist, who called for action to combat climate change during his Oscar acceptance speech last month, praised China’s shift toward renewable forms of energy to lower carbon emissions. […]

Yikes! What is the “climate footprint” to mine the raw materials, to turn them into components and to assemble that beauty?

"Global Warming" is the fault of the peasants who needed food, water & heating/cooling to live in order to construct the yacht for Leonardo and his bimbette coterie.

If China is such a great country to live in, why isn’t Leonardo DiCaprio moving there PERMANENTLY? I am really sick and tired of these Hollywood idiots and their opinions.

I don’t know about the climate but the monthly insurance payment alone would put a fresh water well in at least thirty African villages.

What a gullible d-bag.

The Chinese Communist Government can spew forth any sort of propaganda and stupid western feel-good comments for PR purposes, and they will continue with their own actual development plans that will be based on coal, oil or whatever - without a word of local protest or analysis from dumb-ass Hollywood types.
