If I buy a Prius, I've done more than Leo. I can likely go many years and not use the energy his yacht uses up in a week. Words do not do much.

Most people cannot 100% do what it takes to help the environment however, you do what you can & if everyone would make an effort to do what they could, that would be a giant step forward. But no, there still have to be those deniers, those people who claims it's just so difficult to recycle, or not water their lawn 24/7, or to walk, bike or take public transit, yada yada yada.
You suppose Leo keeps the thermostat at 68 at his houses? Maybe it was unnecessary for thousands of people to jet out to California to get a pat on the back? Who is polluting more? The movie company flying around the world to create a movie or me deciding the drive to the store today as opposed to riding my bike?

Again, you have no idea what others on this board do. But I suspect that all of us conserve more of our OWN electricity and water than any of the idiots in Hollywood.

This hypocrisy is just like liberals thinking that if they give somebody "other people's money" they are benevolent. They are not. So the AGW hypocrites think they are helping the planet by telling OTHER people how to conserve. They are not.

Get back to me when these liberal AGW hypocrites begin using less water and electricity than the rest of us. Meanwhile, their "do as I say, not as I do" shallowness is obvious.
Oh I see, you are the only one allowed to post on this issue? I think not. As for your whine of "you don't know what we do", neither do you. As for the rest of your post, nothing but a bunch of words that mean nothing.

While the rest on here just cry & whine about someone who is actually doing something. They sit behind their keyboards & pout.

Yes, he railed about going after those who continue to emit carbon.

I'm sure he flew there to make his speech and celebrated with a long cruise.

You did nothing to address my.point. He could give $200 million and it doesn't offset the fact that he is many, many, many times over more responsible for emissions than the average Joe.

His tax write off doesn't affect him nearly as much as many of those who buy a more efficient vehicle. His yacht is still spewing massive amounts of diesel.

Actually, there's nothing to address. However, I will say, you have no idea what he or anyone else does, do you?

Now, like I said, there are those who simply whine & complain about others & there are those who actually do their part to help.

And working class taxpayers help them buy those electric cars.
