Private jets and Mega Yachts convene for Global Warming summit.
  How SFL of you to think this is meaningful.


  Do you normally get info from garbage sites like this? Celebrity gossip sites?

  Do you SERIOUSLY think the fuel to get these people together is significant compared to the work they do getting anti science idiots to understand climate change and to raise money to help deal with it?




  The New York Post (sometimes abbreviated as NY Post) is a daily newspaper in New York City. The Post also operates the celebrity gossip site PageSix.com, the entertainment site Decider.com, and co-produces the television show Page Six TV.





   Leonardo’s website and social media platforms are also dedicated to inspiring the public to take action on key environmental issues. Growing in reach from just 500,000 followers in 2007 to over 50 million today, Leonardo’s fans have engaged on an array of issues protecting key species — sharks in California, tigers in Asia, elephants in Africa — and calling on world leaders to address the global climate crisis.









In acknowledgement of LDF’s impactful work over the last two decades, Leonardo was designated as the United Nations Messenger of Peace for Climate Change and received the 2014 Clinton Global Citizen Award. In addition to founding LDF, Leonardo also serves on the board of several environmental organizations, World Wildlife Fund, Natural Resources Defense Council, National Geographic’s Pristine Seas, Oceans 5, and the International Fund for Animal Welfare.

Our Grants Program

The Foundation has gradually built a significant grantmaking operation, awarding over $80 million in grants since 2010, funding 200+ high-impact projects in 50 countries across Asia, the Americas, Africa, the Arctic, Antarctica, and all five oceans. Through active collaboration with a broad network of environmental leaders and experts, effective organizations, and committed philanthropists, the foundation is able to find and support the best, results-driven projects in the world’s most wild and threatened ecosystems. Our work is divided into six main program areas – Wildlands Conservation, Oceans Conservation, Climate Change, Indigenous Rights, Transforming California, and Innovative Solutions.

Besides the article did say they were "car pooling" on some of those mega-yachts. That's being responsible isn't it?

 IMO it's really a dumb concept to expect the mega rich to not use their planes and yachts. Especially when they actually are putting their money where their mouth is as far as climate change.
And with Decaprio a whole lot of other importunate causes.

Someone tell me how much time or money the billionaire Trump is donating for our environment.

I get Someones point but I don't know what he expects. Are they supposed to hitch? or get mobbed by the unwashed masses on a commercial flight? I don't blame them for not wanting to do that. I don't like doing that.

The post is a gossip site. No one actually states what yachts are coming from where. It even states the amount CO2 of commercial jets 114 first class seats from Los Angeles to Palermo, Italy.??? Were they supposed to swim there?

So what? first class seats spew more CO2 in to the air than coach? Laughing   This is just a site for dim wits like SD to make them think they actually know something important. And of course anytime a right winger can bash anyone form Hollywood.... that's a win.

If you want to talk the talk... you gotta walk the walk. 

How can these self-absorbed assholes expect to convince any skeptics when they thumb their noses at them?  Hey assholes! Fly coach... or better yet, try Facetime or Skype. Do that and I might at least give you credit for trying. But no.,.. they are not trying to convince anyone, they are out back-slapping each other on what jolly do-gooders they are. Fuck them.

They are walking the walk. Just because they still use their own jets or yachts doesn't mean they don't do one hell of a lot of other things with their money and status to make people aware climate change is real. And in Decaprio's case a lot of other things concerning the environment and conservation.

Your biased view of Hollywood people or the left is blinding you from seeing what's real or what's important






24-year-old DiCaprio established the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation in 1998, a non-profit organization devoted to promoting environmental awareness.[170] Although concerned with all areas of the environment, it focuses on global warming, preserving Earth's biodiversity and supporting renewable energy. It has worked on projects in over 40 countries and has produced two short web documentaries, Water Planet and Global Warning.[171] The foundation has also funded debt-for-nature swaps.[172][173] Because of his active involvement in those causes, he has received praise from environmental groups.[174] Among the accolades received were the Martin Litton Environment Award, in 2001, from Environment Now, and the Environmental Leadership Award in 2003 from Global Green USA.[175] He has been an active supporter of numerous environmental organizations and has sat on the board of the World Wildlife Fund, Global Green USA, International Fund for Animal Welfare and the Natural Resources Defense Council.[171][176]

DiCaprio has owned environment-friendly electric-hybrid vehicles[182] and his home is powered by solar panels,[174] although his use of private jets and large yachts has attracted criticism due to their large carbon footprints.[183][184] DiCaprio states that global warming is the world's "number-one environmental challenge".[185] DiCaprio chaired the national Earth Day celebration in 2000, where he interviewed President Bill Clinton and they discussed plans to deal with global warming and the environment.[186] In 2007 he had a major role in The 11th Hour, a documentary about people's relationship to nature and global warming. He co-produced, co-wrote and narrated the film.[186] From a benefit "11th Hour" fine art auction he organized in 2013, he has raised nearly $40 million towards his foundation. He told attendees, "Bid as if the fate of the planet depended on us."[187] It became the world's highest-grossing environmental charity event ever held.[188]


In November 2010, DiCaprio donated $1 million to the Wildlife Conservation Society at Russia's tiger summit. DiCaprio's persistence in reaching the event after encountering two plane delays caused then Prime Minister Vladimir Putin to describe him as a "muzhik" or "real man".[190][191] In 2011, DiCaprio joined the Animal Legal Defense Fund's campaign to free Tony, a tiger who has spent the last decade at the Tiger Truck Stop in Grosse Tête, Louisiana.[192] In 2014 he was appointed as a United Nations representative on climate change, and later that year he made an opening statement to members of the UN Climate Summit.[193][194] He again spoke at the UN in April 2016 prior to the signing of Paris Climate Change Agreement.[195]

In early 2016, at a meeting with Pope Francis, he gave a charity donation and spoke about environmental issues. A few days later, possibly influenced by his meeting with DiCaprio, the Pope said he would act in a planned faith-based charity film, Beyond the Sun. It would be his first acting experience, and would also be the first time in history that a Pope appeared in a feature film. Profits from the film would be given to charities in Argentina.[196] In July 2016, his foundation awarded $15.6 million to help protect wildlife and the rights of Native Americans, along with combating climate change.[197] In July 2017, a charity auction and celebrity concert put on by the foundation had raised over $30 million in its opening days and was set to continue the following month.[198] In October 2016, DiCaprio joined forces with Mark Ruffalo in North Dakota in support of the Standing Rock tribe's opposition to the Dakota Access Pipeline. He traveled to Indonesia in early 2016 where he criticized the government's palm oil industry's slash-and-burn forest clearing methods.[199][200] That same year, he executive-produced and appeared in Before the Flood, a 2016 documentary film examining various aspects of global warming.[201] In accepting his Best Actor award at the 2016 Oscars ceremony, DiCaprio stated:
Climate change is real, it is happening right now. It is the most urgent threat facing our entire species, and we need to work collectively together and stop procrastinating. We need to support leaders around the world who do not speak for the big polluters, but who speak for all of humanity, for the indigenous people of the world, for the billions and billions of underprivileged people out there who would be most affected by this. For our children's children, and for those people out there whose voices have been drowned out by the politics of





Philanthropy

DiCaprio at a charity event in March 2009
In 1998, DiCaprio and his mother donated $35,000 for a "Leonardo DiCaprio Computer Center" at the Los Feliz branch of the Los Angeles Public Library, the site of his childhood home. It was rebuilt after the 1994 Northridge earthquake and opened in early 1999.[208] During the filming of Blood Diamond, DiCaprio worked with 24 orphaned children from the SOS Children's Village in Maputo, Mozambique, and was said to be extremely touched by his interactions with the children.[209] In 2010, he donated $1 million to relief efforts in Haiti after the earthquake.[210] In April 2013, DiCaprio donated $61,000 to GLAAD, an organization which promotes the image of LGBT people in the media.[211] In 2016, Leonardo DiCaprio took part in an annual fundraising gala event of Children of Armenia Fund, as a special guest of his close friend and gala's honorary chair Tony Shafrazi. DiCaprio contributing $65,000 to the cause.[212] After Hurricane Harvey in 2017, DiCaprio provided $1 million to the United Way Harvey Recovery Fund through his foundation.[213]

Why not? And who says they do? You seriously don't think multi millionaires or billionaires can't have luxury items that use a lot of fossil fuel.
In your view NOTHING they can do can offset the co2 they put in to the air? I think some can and do.

It's just not rational to listen to this bullshit about the size of their home jet or yacht and completely discount all of the others things they do for humanity or the environment.
This totally sounds like the type of shit I would hear from Moron rabble-rousers trying to make something out of nothing like Rush Limbaugh.

I asked questions you avoided answering. Just because YOU and and some gossip column said what you parrot doesn't make it true.



If DiCaprio "doesn't care" how do you explain all that he's actually done???? Which is a hell of a LOT!

I don't even know where Decaprio docks his yacht. Or how often he takes it anywhere.I've even read that he rents the yachts. Also it might be in the south of France where I'm told he hangs out. So Sicily isn't that far.

Anyway show me where he has ever once said that because of global warming that NO ONE should own a large boat or a jet?
He can't be a capitalist and STILL care about our environment? It sounds like you guys are saying he thinks you shouldn't have what he has.
In other words putting words in to his mouth. Just like people who say Colin Kaepernick doesn't care about our soldiers who fought for this country.

A carbon tax would effect those with jets and yachts more than the poor. It would also motivate them into more green fuel, like biodiesel. That kind of investment would help make alternatives more affordable for the rest of us.

I don't even know where Decaprio docks his yacht. Or how often he takes it anywhere.I've even read that he rents the yachts. Also it might be in the south of France where I'm told he hangs out. So Sicily isn't that far.

Anyway show me where he has ever once said that because of global warming that NO ONE should own a large boat or a jet?
He can't be a capitalist and STILL care about our environment? It sounds like you guys are saying he thinks you shouldn't have what he has.
In other words putting words in to his mouth. Just like people who say Colin Kaepernick doesn't care about our soldiers who fought for this country.

A carbon tax would effect those with jets and yachts more than the poor. It would also motivate them into more green fuel, like biodiesel. That kind of investment would help make alternatives more affordable for the rest of us.
Good point.

How can these self-absorbed assholes expect to convince any skeptics when they thumb their noses at them?  Hey assholes! Fly coach... or better yet, try Facetime or Skype. Do that and I might at least give you credit for trying. But no.,.. they are not trying to convince anyone, they are out back-slapping each other on what jolly do-gooders they are. Fuck them.

You cant tell people to go green while you burn fossil fuels with impunity.

Why not? And who says they do? You seriously don't think multi millionaires or billionaires can't have luxury items that use a lot of fossil fuel.
In your view NOTHING they can do can offset the co2 they put in to the air? I think some can and do.

It's just not rational to listen to this bullshit about the size of their home jet or yacht and completely discount all of the others things they do for humanity or the environment.
This totally sounds like the type of shit I would hear from Moron rabble-rousers trying to make something out of nothing like Rush Limbaugh.

Oh Christ stop it already! You're asking us to take them seriously but they don't even care enough to be good role models!

But your argument that their abuse of fossils fuel is meaningless, (when it's stacked up against overall world use), is weak. My point is, and always has been this: These so-called champions of the global warming cause should be doing what they can TO CONVINCE THOSE THAT ARE SKEPTICAL. They've already got you sold. If they want to convince people like me, they should realize that their actions are having the opposite effect. 

Picture a guy standing on the redwood deck of his giant log home and shouting, "NO MORE LOGGING. SAVE THE TREES!" When I object, would you be standing there telling me that the trees used for his home were insignificant?

These assholes could easily fly their jets and cruise their yachts all year round and no one would give a flying fck. But when they are travelling to attend a huge summit to discuss global warming, and they know everyone is watching, they still can't understand how bad it makes them look to fly in on private jets and whatnot? It not only makes them look arrogant... it makes them look stupid.

Parting shot: Come on and admit it. You would prefer that your heroes do a better job of proving their dedication to the cause.

Interesting facts.

Quote:New York City has not had a daily high temperature above 100 degrees since 2012, and it has had only five such days since 2002. However, in a previous 18-year span from 1984 through 2001, New York City had nine days at 100 degrees or higher. When the power went out in New York City earlier this month, the temperature didn’t even get to 100 degrees – it was 95, which is not extreme. For comparison, there were 12 days at 95 degrees or higher in 1999 alone.

Kansas City, Missouri, for example, experienced an average of 18.7 days a year at 100 degrees or higher during the 1930s, compared to just 5.5 a year over the last 10 years. And over the last 30 years, Kansas City has averaged only 4.8 days a year at 100 degrees or higher, which is only one-quarter of the frequency of days at 100 degrees or higher in the 1930s.

Here is a fact rarely, if ever, mentioned: 26 of the 50 states set their all-time high temperature records during the 1930s that still stand (some have since been tied). And an additional 11 state all-time high temperature records were set before 1930 and only two states have all-time record high temperatures that were set in the 21st century (South Dakota and South Carolina).

So 37 of the 50 states have an all-time high temperature record not exceeded for more than 75 years. Given these numbers and the decreased frequency of days of 100 degrees or higher, it cannot be said that either the frequency or magnitude of heat waves are more common today.

Don't confuse weather with climate.
The values you see are weather.

This is from some 80 year old republican . That figures. What I see is someone using record temperatures for one lousy day at some time in the past to try and discount global warming?
I don't understand why reasonably intelligent people like yourself put 2+2 together and get five?
I somewhat get that some refuse to believe our global temperatures are rising due to fossil fuels and other green house gasses. But How can ANYONE deny the planet is warming???

The Washington Post
During the hottest month that humans have ever recorded, a local television station in the Netherlands aired non-stop images of wintry landscapes to help viewers momentarily forget the heatwave outside.
Officials in Switzerland and elsewhere painted stretches of rail tracks white, hoping to keep them from buckling in the extreme heat. At the port of Antwerp, two alleged drug dealers called the police for help after they got stuck inside a shipping container filled with cocaine and feared they would suffocate.
Wildfires raged across millions of acres in the Arctic. A massive ice melt event in Greenland sent hundreds of billions of tons of water pouring into the Atlantic Ocean, raising sea levels. And temperature records evaporated, one after another.
On Monday, data from a European climate agency made official what scientists warned was likely: July was the warmest month the world has experienced since record-keeping began more than a century ago.
The Copernicus Climate Change Service, a program of the European Union, calculated that last month
 
narrowly edged out July 2016 for the dubious distinction of hottest month on record. The month was 1.01 degrees above the 1981 to 2010 average, “Which is close to 1.2 Celsius above the pre-industrial level as defined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC),” the agency said in a statement. The month beat July 2016 by about 0.07 degrees.
Scientists found that the planet is on pace for one of its hottest years, and the data all but guarantee that the period from 2015 to 2019 will go down as the warmest five-year period on record.
HOT ON PAGE A04
“July has re-written climate history, with dozens of new temperature records at [the] local, national and global level,” Petteri Taalas, the Secretary-General of the World Meteorological Organization, said in announcing the month’s historic implications. “This is not science fiction. It is the reality of climate change. It is happening now and it will worsen in the future without urgent climate action.”
