If there's any area where star power seems to be put to the most effective use, it's the documentary, where attaching names like Leonardo DiCaprio and Arnold Schwarzenegger helps projects that might evaporate into the ether get on the media's radar.

DiCaprio weighs in this week with "Ice on Fire," a better-than-most film on the topic that gets beyond the dire warnings to contemplating what can actually be done to help turn, or at least significantly curb, the tide.

For his part, Schwarzenegger plays the same role on "Wonders of the Sea," a project exploring the oceans made in conjunction with Jean-Michel Cousteau, the seafaring explorer and son of the legendary Jacques Cousteau.

DiCaprio is using this as a tax dodge as he did the last film about the climate.

Goal post keeps getting pushed. Didn’t AlGore say 2005 was it?

Yes. Coastal cities are all under water, just as he said they would be. Psych! (And it won't happen. Check again in 1,000 years and they still won't be under water.)
