Open Letter From Leo DiCaprio To the Citizens of This Planet – IOTW Report

Open Letter From Leo DiCaprio To the Citizens of This Planet

I’ve recently come under attack, called a hypocrite, after I criticized Donald Trump for his criminal inaction in battling climate change.

Focusing on me and my lifestyle is a scapegoat. It’s a canard. It’s not about personal choices.

As my friend Robert F. Kennedy Jr. says, it’s more important to change the politicians on Capitol Hill so that they pass laws that will curtail our fossil fuel use than it is to stop me, one lone person, from yachting.

Suppose the world was running low on water, wouldn’t it be wiser to try and get everyone to stop wasting water rather than to focus on one celebrity who needs to keep their greenery green on their multiple estates? How would stopping them help a global problem? Leave the celebrities alone.

For awhile I wrestled with a little bit of guilt, but I saw a therapist- well, not a therapist, it was Mark Ruffalo- who told me how important I was to the cause because my words command instant respect. Let’s face it, I’ve become very special. He said it was important that I, an A-lister, remain an A-lister and in the limelight because a D-lister trying to impart policy change just doesn’t work. A D-lister cannot save the planet.

He said, “we need you want to remain an A-lister, so you must dress for the job. That means jet setting, yachting, expensive cars, lots of models, and various estates, villas and condos around the globe. That’s who gets listened to. Thank you for what you do.”

I thanked him for what he does, as well, with the water stuff, and reminded him that he’s been pretty impactful for a C+/B- lister. I told him that anytime he wants to use my plane, and my publicist, he can, for the good of the cause. We embraced.

So guilting me, one special guy, is futile.

Thank you for reading this, and remember, if you’re not lowering the heat in your house, driving a fuel efficient car in a carpool, and thinking about the carbon that the barbecue you’re about to light will put in the sky, then all of you, collectively, are killing your grandchildren.

Leotardo DiCaprio.

  1. Oh, so that’s it. “I can do what I tell other people not to do because I’m too important to the cause to follow logic.”

    Good thing to know, Leoturd.

    Same as it ever was.

  2. So he can go yachting because he’s special, but if I dare to light up my barbecue then it’s a crime against humanity. My drive to work–alone–is going to kill the planet but Gaia is cool with his chartered flights.

    Piss off, DiCaprio. And by the way, weren’t you meant to go to Canada or something?

  3. And I’ve been had again. I JUST ran into the house from running to the store that I probably could have jogged to, to grab some ice, and the heat is killing me. We have 54 freaking Fahrenheit degrees here and I am about to melt!!

    Having air conditioning in Alaska is considered posh and few people have it, but I feel like taking the leap just to irk the “science is settled” crowd.

  4. Shove it Leo, just because you’re an actor doesn’t make you more important than the rest of us Plebes. And you suck as an actor by the way. I’ll take President Trump over you any day. I’m so sick of you Hollyweird morons telling the rest of us how to live while you’re living so damned high and mighty. KMA Leo and go away forever, I don’t give two hoots in hell what you think.

  5. “Comrades!’ he cried. ‘You do not imagine, I hope, that we pigs are doing this in a spirit of selfishness and privilege? Many of us actually dislike milk and apples. I dislike them myself. Our sole object in taking these things is to preserve our health. Milk and apples (this has been proved by Science, comrades) contain substances absolutely necessary to the well-being of a pig. We pigs are brainworkers. The whole management and organisation of this farm depend on us. Day and night we are watching over your welfare. It is for your sake that we drink the milk and eat those apples.”
    ― George Orwell, Animal Farm

  6. Cry me a river from your f**cking private jet, moron. And I did turn the heat down. It’s hotter than heck outside and the A/C is doing a great job. Go hug a tree, fart smeller.

  7. Leo STFU, you are nothing more that a preforming clown, an entertainer a joker a fool. Clime back onto your 200 foot rented boat and disappear into the sunset..

  8. Before I comment, Fur can you provide us with the source of this rant by Mr. DiCaprio? Because as far as I can see this has to be an article from the Onion.

    If this is true, then this is the evidence that water fluoridation is causing harmful effects to humans, especially our brains!

    Is there no-body in Hollywood who recognizes that this kind of idiotic statement will harm the well-being of any company. Cripe does anyone remember several years ago when Trent Lott made his statement about Strom Thurmond? As I remember it, he said that if Thurmond had been elected President back in 1948, we would not have had the sixties. Well he almost lost his livelihood and suffered a lot of crap but even a misquote or confused thought will cause you a lot of grief.

    Now little DiCaprio goes off and tells us he has to spend a lot of money in order to promote his cause. Oh my god! Hollywoods’ peak stupidity has only begun. Just wait folks, it will get worse from now on.

  9. Lost me at RF Kennedy. Leo Deretardo, go fuck your self. Damn hypocrite. Let’s talk after you unload all your gas guzzling toys, piss away hundreds of million of YOUR dollars on the green fraud, and you down size your life style so that you live in a small house as green as George and Laura Bush’s. Damn boy. You be stooooooopid.

  10. I’m still, as they say, in the process of becoming a citizen of this, particular planet. So, can I have the keys and a gas card, preferably Citgo, you understand, for one of your cars? That way I won’t be killing any multicolor babies using a peon’s car.

  11. Hey! I swear that *satire* wasn’t there before. You’re a little stink pot, Fur!

    Not really. I wuv you! This was too funny and I should have thought twice when I saw that “he” spelled his name Leotardo!

  12. Barely scanned it ’cause I wouldn’t readhis baloney. Looked at it again and realized it was above onion grade. THEN, and only then, did I see the word satire. Good one BFH. However I could believe the entitled few do think this way.

  13. You people are a bunch of assholes…He has used GREEN power for years…He has driven EV cars for years…Ya’ll need to go suck it !!!! He is trying to help the world move to 100% clean energy…The future…And stop the polluting cancer causing corrupt fossil fuel companies…Wake up dumb fucks….Love, Deborah ….PS- Kiss my ass you ignorant fucks

  14. JFKjr…isn’t he the one who Katherine Hepburns’ estate is suing because of his libel impersonations? “Alcoholic-fueled bridge crashes, Mr. Allnut, is what we were put on this Earth to rise above.”

  15. Dear Deborahh: News Flash … we all know it’s fake, dear … satire is definitely your strong suit (neither is reasoning … but we understand)
    …. it’s the smug, arrogant content that rings true
    (you surely don’t really want to debate the intellectual capacity of Mr. DeCaprio, do you?)

  16. My dear sir…If you read 98% of thee above replies…They think its a true story…Sadly…..Mr.DiCaprio is an environmentalist trying to promote clean energy…He wants “everyone” to move to clean energy..He has done his best for years to make his carbon foot print low..He is a smart man..Trying to do his best..

  17. Naw….Hahhahahaa…But wouldn’t it be fricken awesome…I can see it now…Picture this…A solar paneled Gulfstream…OMG !!!!! That would rock!!!!! Dang… MMMmmmmmm….Maybe a couple mini turbines…YASSSSSSSS…Get on it Elon !!!!!!!!! Hahahahahahah ……I SO LOVE CLEAN ENERGY….

  18. @Corona: I would take you on my Gulfstream, but then there would be one less extra seat for me to stretch out on and it takes forever to chill extra champagne, and the chef is already whining because I don’t let him sit in the cabin either.

  19. No, Deborahh, sadly DeCrapio is a environmental nazi with a minuscule knowledge of anything other than how to be a horrifically bad actor, much like yourself. Please quit breathing and save the trees from having to convert your filth into the oxygen that we breath (that’s called, ‘photosynthesis. You can say it, I know you can).

  20. Eat shit and die Di Crappio, you overrated piece of shit. You’re an actor, and not a very good one at that. You aren’t the spokesman for anything, and your little rides on private jets cause more pollution than 100 of us in our vehicles do in a year.

  21. Corona: Ouch, that hurt my ego. Maybe I can get Leo’s used one for a decent price, and then we can both jet around while proclaiming our love for the environment.

  22. Nah, just a Constitutional supporter and defender against all enemies, foreign and domestic… ‘asshole.’ Thank you for the compliment nonetheless. I appreciate it! I’ll defend your right to be an idiot to the death if need be. (That would be the First Amendment to the Constitution.)

  23. BTW Debs, “I SO LOVE CLEAN ENERGY.” There is no such thing, even for Elon. Hate to burst your ignorant, self-righteous, libtard, and uneducated bubble.

  24. DicapRIASS is nothing but a loozer hollywood snot.

    Anybody that defends that piece of shit belongs with
    him and his socialist tripe. Go to venezuela where his
    type is king loozers.

  25. Oh my, I never factored in the “he’s so cute” “I have a wet vagina therefore he must be smart” brigade coming here.
    My dear, there is nothing, NOTHING green about DiCaprio except how much he demands for a movie.

    Movie making is among the most PLANET RAPING businesses one could cite.
    Want me to detail it for you, break it down?

    Also, there is nothing green about yachting and jetting.
    Also, EV cars use electricity.
    Where, pray tell, do you fucking think electricity comes from??
    CARBON BASED POWER PLANTS! you dumb fuck.

  26. …In May, he took a private jet 8,000 miles to collect an environmental award from Cannes to New York and then back to France. That flight emitted 55 tons of carbon dioxide in the air.>>>>

  27. >>>hacked emails from Sony, released by WikiLeaks, revealed the environmentalist traveled by private jet six times over the course of two weeks on the studios’ dime in 2014.>>>

  28. >>>he owns multiple homes which use a lot of energy, including a $4 million apartment in New York, a Malibu beach house with a guest house, and a $5 million Palm Springs mansion.>>> – Blanche Johnson

  29. What’s up with Leotardo’s mom coming in here defending him? LOL. And she keeps writing “Y’all” wrong.
    Debs, you should roll up a large sheet of 100% cruelty free bamboo fiber, dip it in gluten free soybean oil and swiftly shove it up your ass.

  30. I just came back from the store again. Used my gas guzzling SUV to get there–for the onion I forgot earlier. Burgers are nothing without onions. I dedicated my jaunt to Deborah, though I forgot the pretzels. May have to make another dash on over there again.

  31. I think the icing on the cake is that he flew an eyebrow makeup artist 7500 miles, from Australia, to ‘do’ his eyebrows before the oscar awards. That’s 7500 miles. 14 hours of flight. Each way.

  32. I thumbed up Deborahh’s first post because she was bold enough to use her real name and link to her Facebook page. Brave, stupid, but still brave.
    Deborahh- for a real conversation and debate to take place you should have at a minimum a working knowledge of your opponents viewpoint.
    I used to be a liberal and completely understand the global warmongering religion you are preaching.
    Please at the very least read four articles over at Watt’s Up With That .com. Then try to prove Mr. Anthony wrong. After successfully refuting any one of the facts presented there then maybe we could have a decent dialogue with you. Otherwise you’ll just continue to hear us call you a moron, mock you, and much worse.

  33. You can call me a moran…Stupid…I really don’t care…Because I know I am fighting for whats right…You people sit there bashing one of the few celebrities that actually care.. Well I am 100% behind clean energy…I will never support fossil fuel 100% dirty energy and its cancer causing pollution…..Wind and Solar energy is very clean energy…Long term use that pays back the environment limitless…The CO2 levels are higher than seen in millions of years…Now over 410 PPm….And rising 2 ppm as well as increasing over 2 ppm a year…I have seen the damage…Most people that have never been in nature would not recognize the signs…I do…Walking on the river and in the distance is a magnificent mini Cottonwood forest..A hundred feet high…Beautiful old old Cottonwoods…As I get closer I see it…With dreaded fear..Over 90% of nearly every single one of the Cottonwood tree are covered in Co2 fast growing vines..The wild vines that thrive in high Co2 environments…Slowly suffocating the life out of each tree..Summer is just beginning and soon those vines will cover the whole trees canopy..The tears fell …I couldn’t stop them…Growing up I grew up around the river and nature..I never seen these vines growing like this taking down entire trees lines over time…As a kid the environment was balanced…Over the last couple decades that balance has gone…So make fun of me all you will…I don’t care…I will fight for what I love…The earth…And hoping we are not already to late..Please study people..Climate change is not a joke…Even I wish it was..The truth hurts to much…But the truth is the truth…

  34. Deborahh, you are what Evan Sayet would call a capital “L” liberal. So completely devoted to your religion and worship of Gaia that you “can’t see the forest for the trees” (pun intended).
    You didn’t respond to my “I used to be a liberal and understand your perspective, please study some facts to understand my perspective so we can have a dialogue”. You have nothing but emotion yet ask us to study. We don’t
    need to study, we already know the game and scam being played and refuse to play. You ask us to study, but have you gone to wattsupwiththat.com to do some of your own studying? Anthony Watts is one of the best layed out websites for refuting your points. I again invite you to refute his information.
    But since you are a capital L liberal I doubt you will and I doubt you actually care about facts. For you it’s all about unquestioning devotion to Gaia.

  35. BFH, did you even watch the videos….That’s what their there for…So you can learn the truth…Clean energy is the future…Fossil fuels have polluted and killed our environment -people- wildlife….Enough is enough

  36. Harnessing fossil fuels has progressed mankind, not regressed.
    There is no such thing as clean energy.
    You still need fossil fuels to create a windmill.
    You need fossil fuels to build an electric car.
    You need fossil fuels to provide the electricity to run the electric car.
    You need fossil fuels to mine the rare earth necessary to build the batteries that run the electric car.
    You need fossil fuels so Leotardo can get to Cannes.
