Brazilian President Jair Bonsonaro gave Leonardo DiCaprio a lecture in hypocrisy, telling the virtue-signaling actor that he should 'give up his yacht before lecturing the world' about the environment.
Of note, in January DiCaprio was pictured vacationing with friends on the $150 miullion "Vava II," the largest yacht manufactured in Britain, which is estimated to produce 238kg of carbon dioxide per mile - as much as the average British car emits in two months.
@LeoDiCaprio climate around your fakeness is changing rapidly..

Bolsonaro was responding to DiCaprio, who tweeted that the Amazon rainforest has "faced an onslaught of illegal deforestation at the hands of extractive industry over the last 3 years."
"You again, Leo?" Tweeted Bolsonaro. "I could tell you, again, to give up your yacht before lecturing the world, but I know progressives: you want to change the entire world but never yourselves, so I will let you off the hook."
"Between us, it's weird to see a dude who pretends to love the Planet paying more attention to Brazil than to the fires harming Europe and his own country," he continued.
- You again, Leo? This way, you will become my best electoral cable, as we say in Brazil! I could tell you, again, to give up your yacht before lecturing the world, but I know progressives: you want to change the entire world but never yourselves, so I will let you off the hook. https://t.co/FxCnqhFv6D — Jair M.

The trouncing continues (emphasis ours):
But don't worry, Leo, unlike the places you are pretending not to see by brilliantly playing the role of a blind man, Brazil is and will carry on being the nation that most preserves. You can carry on playing with your Hollywood star toys as we do our job.
Actually, in my government average deforestation is way lower than it was in the past, when the crook turned candidate that your Brazilian buddy supports was in power.
It's clear that everyone who attacks Brazil and its sovereignty for the sake of virtue signaling doesn't have a clue about the matter. They don't know, for instance, that we preserve more than 80% of our native vegetation or that we have the cleanest energy among G20 nations.
It's also clear that you don't know that my government announced a new commitment to eradicate illegal deforestation by 2028, and not by 2030 as most countries. Or maybe you do know that, but for some reason pretend to be ignorant. I hope you not getting too much for this role.
If its within your reach, we would love to see you stop spreading missinformation. In the recent past, you used a 2003 image to talk about the Amazon wildfires allegedly happening in 2019 and was exposed, but I have forgiven you. So please go and sin no more.
By the way, what do you think about the hitting coal market in Europe? And what about Greta Timberlake, do you know what she has been up to lately and what she has to say about it? If I was hosting a barbecue in my house, I'm sure she would be yelling "How dare you?".

When being a hypocrite, remember - don't look up!
Mike Drop!
We need to get back to Victorian sensibilities when actors and prostitutes occupied the same level in the social hierarchy.
You mean like the guy that runs Ukraine?
That was a Trump-level smackdown
‘Bout time people started calling these pompous limousine liberals out for their blatant hypocrisy.
Good for Bolsonaro
Nyah nyah.
Leo replied: “This is a false report. I would NEVER own such a wasteful item like a huge yacht that only pollutes and adds to the death of the planet!”
.

“I only rent them for $xxxx per hour.”
That was a verbal beat down, squared to the STFU power.
Retardo Decapitated and his yacht would make a fine target for a Brazilian submarine’s Mk-48..... Just saying.
Leo can afford to buy carbon offsets but we can’t.
But they are winning ICE cars are going away. The propaganda worked.
Except only 1 to 2 % of cars on our roads are EV’s.
They are not winning anything.
Let’s see in ten years.
Which is why they'll outlaw ICE cars.
I think Leo likes guys and has 25 and under women around as beards.
I doubt DeCaprio owns a yacht or a private jet. He rents. He uses. He flys by private jets all the time while lecturing us about Greenie bullcrap global warming. Same Greenie crap is why Germans and Europe will freeze this winter.
There is a photo of this d-bag sitting front row at a Klaus Schwab lecture
