Climate change activist leading by example

Yeah take a comm fligjt where no one will leave you alone the entire flight. They just lead diff lives. He has diff realities than we do. Who here had their own security entourage raise their hands? People like him often have to have personal bodyguards.

I would do all of that stuff but I'm not the guy preaching to everybody about using too much fucking fuel and how they have to conserve to save the planet.

Flying to places doesn't make you a hypocrite. Also, fun fact, a standard jumbo jet from maybe 5-10 years ago - a 777 or similar - full of people uses about the same amount of fuel, once you factor in things like transport to and from the airport at each end, as people making the journey in individual cars, in groups of two.

Stop it chris, the synthetic narrative on the table is that if you preach sensitivity to climate change you must never fly a plane and you must cut out the floorboards on your ride and stroke it like fred and barney. FFS chris whats wrong with u?

So say maybe 10 people are using almost the same amount of fuel as a 777 filled with 400 people.
I'm sure the private jet is using less than a full passenger plane, but it's not that much less.
The point is this guy tells me I should ride the bus to work while he has a bigger carbon footprint in 1 week (1 month?) than most people do in their entire lifetime.

Clearly proof the science is fake and we can ignore it.

I'm not a climate change denier and that isn't the point of the post - If Cal started the thread, then maybe.

Sorry, that was mainly directed at Cal.
For your post, I still mostly disagree but I see your point. I think you can speak out against climate change and still take a private jet. Hopefully you'd be doing what you can to help the issue.
Plus I firmly believe any real change needs to come through the government, not individuals. Though he is a powerful individual.

More clear proof that Hollywood celebrities are the experts on foreign policy, the economy, social issues, and climate change.

Not only that Leo, but the Revenant sucked.

It was shit, but what boggles my mind is that is the movie that finally got him an Oscar.

Doesn't this fall in line with why some folks in other countries hate Americans? The haughty "do as I say, not as I do routine"?
"You all have to get your act together and clean up your carbon footprint"
"What me? Naw I can't be bothered by that shit. I'm fucking important. And need X,y,z.."
Get fucked Leo.

Yes, it's quite hypocritical. But like has been said before, he's a world famous celebrity, so regular means of travel are probably out. Doesn't preclude him from flying first class with its exclusivity though.
The general point about solving climate change, though, is that we aren't going to, and really shouldn't, drastically alter our lifestyles, but find 'clean' ways of doing those things. For example, nothing around the house needs to change because it all runs on electricity (with maybe the exception of a gas stove?) and there are plenty of clean ways of producing that electricity. Same for public transport, intercity trains all run on electricity. Etc.

Celebrity or not - he should set the example, and live it,
or just STFU, seems to me.

Do as I say, not as I do.
Also, did someone really advocate for more governmental regulation? Because that's efficient and effective never.
