Actor DiCaprio says climate action is U.S.'s 'biggest economic opportunity'
By Megan Rowling Reuters December 17, 2016
NEW YORK (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Tackling climate change is the "biggest economic opportunity" in the history of the United States, no matter who holds political office, said Hollywood star and environmental activist Leonardo DiCaprio.
"There are a few, very prominent people that still deny the overwhelming conclusions of the world's scientists that climate change is largely human-caused and needs immediate urgent attention," he told a U.N. awards ceremony on Friday evening.
But "the truth" about climate change has spread like "wildfire", he added.
DiCaprio's comments, as he received a prize for his work as a global citizen, did not refer to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump by name but were a thinly-veiled reference to his views and climate-skeptic cabinet members with oil industry ties.

It was certainly Al Gore’s.
What did he get his degree in? Anything to get attention.
Wow, this guy rally did drink the Cool-Aide.
By the gallon...
DiCaprio speaks, confirms he is a moron.
It’s over Leo.
You lost.
I’m 67 but I’d kick that little priss’ ass if I met him face to face.
Hey Leonard, pour all your money into your own start-up, and go for it. We’ll be cheering as we invest in coal and oil.
DiCaprio has been told he has a brain. The poor little rich boy has gotten bad advice, being surrounded by too many “yes men”.
So the author is saying that DiCaprio admits “climate change” is all about producing revenue instead of saving the planet? Bad, bad DiCaprio. The leftists are going to beat you over slipping and admuitting the truth on that one. They may even unfriendly you on Facebook and call you bad names...
So what does a global passport look like? Can he use it to fly his private jet to pick up environmental prizes?
climate action is U.S.'s 'biggest economic opportunity'
Much like saying that "Oxygen is your biggest medical opportunity" after someone has held you under water for three minutes.
Celebrities support leftard causes because they are unintelligent and uneducated, with no valuable experience.
They have influence because the media repeat their idiotic prattling as though it should be listened to.
Celebrities are too stupid to realize that they should shut up.
How can we force the media to stop treating them as credible sources?
Actor says...
Shut up and act, fool.
Can’t someone post a picture or short clip of him from “What’s Eating Gilbert Grape.” I don’t think he acted in that one where he played a retarded boy, I think he just acted natural.
Put a sock in it, Leo.
It’s fascinating that after “Streets” or so, Lameo got the full accoutrements of fame and glommed onto global swarming, after likely being presented with a gilded tray of eff-forts to choose from.
Absolute nothing! I'm sure DeCaprio has advanced degrees in economics, physics, historical geology, atmospheric science, computer science and all subjects related to the religion of human-caused climate change.
..who cares?
DiCaprio is the obvious choice to replace Janet Yellen.
