Leonardo DiCaprio has pledged to divest from his personal and Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation’s fossil fuel holdings and increase his investment in renewable energy companies to fight global warming. The actor recently invested in Rubicon Global, dubbed the garbage startup that specializes in on-demand trash hauling – a service that uses software to manage a network of independent waste haulers.
“Climate change is severely impacting the health of our planet and all of its inhabitants, and we must transition to a clean energy economy that does not rely on fossil fuels, the main driver of this global problem. After looking into the growing movement to divest from fossil fuels and invest in climate solutions, I was convinced to make the pledge on behalf of myself and the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation. Now is the time to divest and invest to let our world leaders know that we, as individuals and institutions, are taking action to address climate change, and we expect them to do their part this December in Paris at the UN climate talks,” United Nations Messenger of Peace for Climate Change, who joined members of the Divest-Invest Coalition in New York on September 22nd, said in a statement.
A total of 436 institutions (which include: local governments, health and education bodies representing more than 646 million people around the world) and 2,040 individuals across 43 countries, representing $2.6 trillion in assets, have committed to divest from fossil fuel companies.
Handsome young fellow named @LeoDiCaprio joins divestment movement! He puts the ‘act’ in ‘climate action’! http://t.co/BLWVzF7jjZ — Bill McKibben (@billmckibben) September 22, 2015
The International Energy Agency estimates that $1 trillion a year of investment in clean technology is required to transition away from fossil fuels quickly enough to hold the temperature rise to 2°C. Global investments in renewable energy are currently at $300 billion a year. Given the trillions of dollars spent on exploring and producing fossil fuels each year, the challenge is not in finding new funds to finance this transition, but in reallocating global investments.

Says the guy who travels in a private jet. LOL the world is full of hypocrites.
It’s hard to believe how gullible people are, particularly the regressive lefties that fail to relaise the blindlingly obvious fact that the Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming hypothesis is a scam for mass wealth transfer and economic and legislative control over every aspect of our lives, along with an ideological engineering of society to move toward massive state control and austerity, creating an Orwellian feudal superstate where the rich live in luxury, eating meat and enjoying cheap power and travel while the rest eat insects and subsist in a minimalist technocratic control grid.
All the empirical evidence supports the skeptics and there are many top scientists, even Nobel prize winners who count themselves among the skeptical community.
Celebrities’ careers depend on towing the Hollywood PC line to maintain their careers. The Zionist central banking oligarchy behind the CAGW scam owns Hollywood and the media and uses celebrities to push their agendas.
Here are the facts:
1. It hasn’t warmed globally for 18 years despite rising CO2.
2. The Mediaeval, Roman and Minoan Warm Periods were as hot or hotter globally than today with much less CO2
3. The Ordovician Period involved an ice age with CO2 levels 11 times that of today.
4. No mid tropospheric hotspot disproves the warmists’ positive feedback hypothesis and proves the models wrong.
5. No sea level rise increase.
6. No sea temperature increase to account for the supposed ‘missing heat’ (ARGO buoy data) nor any explanation as to how heat would decide to jump into the ocean or violate the laws of thermodynamics and not warm the top layers on the way down.
7. Outgoing Longwave radiation increases with surface warming cooling the planet (ERBE satellite)
8. Low level cloud from water evaporation creates an albedo effect reflecting short wave radiation cooling the planet.
9. Arctic ice has recovered from the 2007 minimum somewhat and had much less ice almost 1000 years ago enabling the Vikings to easily navigate the Arctic, with much less CO2!
10. Antarctic sea ice is at record levels.
11. CO2 lags 800 years behind temperature rise in the climate record showing temperature drives CO2 not the other way round. (Vostok ice cores). The falling temperatures in these records accelerates much faster than the CO2 showing that CO2 is not a primary driver and has little effect on climate.
12. GCMs (Global Circulation Models) are consistently producing results at least 3 times that of the observed temperatures, showing the models have their climate sensitivity parameter drastically wrong. In other words there are zero to negative feedbacks in the climate system, not positive as the models assume.
13. CO2 heat absorption and emission is logarithmic which means that after a certain point an extra CO2 added absorbs less and less heat.
