When I read the title I thought they were actually making a captain planet movie with Leonardi Di Caprio as the lead! I'd love to see that just to revel in how weird it'd all be.

I don't have a problem with celebrities doing these sorts of things, so long as they aren't hypocritical about it . I don't know enough about what Leonardo Di Caprio has done as an environmental activist to judge that, so in the meantime props to him.

I'll make it easy for  you.  99.99% of politicians and celebrities that preach about global warming (now climate change, since we've entered a period where it hasn't risen in over 15 years) are hypocrites.  Why?  Because most of them have multiple homes, each of which suck up as much power as 10-20 normal homes AND they fly around in private jets so they don't have to come in contact with us peasants.  In other words, they want companies to change their policies, even if it might change nothing except for higher prices for consumers, and for us peasants to change our lifestyles, but they will change nothing.  No, they think just talking about it gives them a pass.

I still remember when they were blaming the holes in the ozone layers for scortching us.  They mysteriously disappeared 10 years ago.  Or so the media would like us to believe.  Now that "global warming" fad has faded they need to switch to something else to get government funding for.  Are there environmental issues we should be dealing with?  Of course, there is.  None of which are actually being dealt with.  Is "climate change" 100% caused by humans?  No.  There are factors everyone seems to be ignoring and there isn't even a clear idea of what weather patterns should be on the planet since we only started recording weather patterns for the past 100 years.  It's not enough time to know everything, especially when weather reverts back to old records.  "It hasn't snowed in this part of the world in 100 years!" yes, and I bet all those cars 100 years ago caused it to snow.

You say climate change isn't 100% caused by humans, and it isn't but the hugely vast majority of scientists (depending on area of research) who participate in climate change research would say the main cause is humanity. Since the industrial revolution human beings spew more CO2 into the atmosphere than volcanoes do every year. Humans nowadays pour 100 times the amount of CO2 into the atmosphere  every year than all volcanoes do on Earth, and the number is only going up. If our population were to get enough CO2 into our atmosphere we would turn into a Venus due to sunlight being able to penetrate the Earths CO2 filled atmosphere but not being able to escape. This isn't happening right now but it sure is developing and is evidenced through data compiled by scientist who work on the ice sheets. The difference between Earth and Venus right now is that most of Earths CO2 are in rocks and minerals deep underground with nowhere to go. Venus on the other hand has most of its CO2 deposits in its atmosphere causeing the heat from the sunlight to get trapped on Venus, a very unlivable environment. This is just one angle of climate change. It has very little to do with historical weather patterns, scientists are more than capable of broadening their research in various different manners.
