As for dicaprio i cant stand him much Commercial flight? It still uses a fuck load of fuel to transport one or a few people - the irony is there.

bbedward Posted May 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 I mean this is a fuckwad who makes green documentaries and tells people to lighten their carbon load by walking or taking the bus, then he flies a private jet all over the place. Including 6 times in 6 weeks, before: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-3044176/Leonardo-DiCaprio-eco-warrior-flew-private-jet-NY-LA-SIX-times-SIX-weeks-Sony-hack-documents-reveal.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clevfan4life Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 Yeah take a comm fligjt where no one will leave you alone the entire flight. They just lead diff lives.

calfoxwc Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 defullofcrapio should have pretended to not be a hypocrite loser... and taken this to get there: Freakin sissy lowclass ass liberals want everybody ELSE to know that WIND is a renewable energy resource resource.... no carbon footprint ! What a fraud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

gftChris Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 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.

Clevfan4life Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

MLD Woody Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legacy Fan Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 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.

gftChris Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pumpkin Eater Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 Do as I say, not as I do. Also, did someone really advocate for more governmental regulation? Because that's efficient and effective never. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
