How Leonardo DiCaprio Can Persuade Me on Climate Change
Guest Post by Scott Adams
You probably know that actor Leonardo DiCaprio is a climate activist, and he is trying to persuade the world that climate change is both real and serious. Someone asked me on Twitter what it would take for DiCaprio (for example) to persuade a person like me.
I’ll take a swing at that.
For starters, you must separate the questions of real and serious. The real part refers to the climate models. The serious part refers to economic models. Those are different topics.

Leonardo DiCaprio to host $33,400-a-plate fundraiser for Hillary Clinton in Los Angeles
She will surely be a president of the people. She really cares about you peasants as she siphons up $300,000 for an hour speech at The Vampire Squid on the Face of America (aka Goldman Sachs) and parties with the Hollywood elite for $33,400 per plate. What are they serving – glazed baby fetus from Planned Parenthood? Knowing Leo’s passion for the environment, I’m sure Clooney and the rest of the beautiful people will be arriving by horse and not stretch limos getting 3 mpg. This is the hand picked president of the establishment.
MarketWatch photo illustration/Getty Images, ShutterstockThe next time Hillary Clinton makes her way out to Los Angeles, Oscar winner Leonardo DiCaprio will reportedly open the doors to his home for flush supporters willing to fork over $33,400 for a ticket.
The event, dubbed “Conversations with Hillary,” is slated for Aug. 23, according to sources cited by Variety. The first $2,700 will go directly to the Clinton campaign, with the rest — as per the rules — collected for the broader Democratic Party.
DiCaprio surely won’t be the only show biz luminary on hand. Jennifer Lopez, Harvey Weinstein and Tobey Maguire were also mentioned among those that could be in attendance.
This, of course, won’t be the first time Hollywood elites make it rain for Clinton. Earlier this year, tickets for two seats at the table with the Clooneys and Hillary went for about $353,000 — even George had to admit it was an “obscene” amount of money.
A day before the DiCaprio event, Clinton will already have gotten a big Tinseltown boost to her war chest. Power Rangers billionaire Haim Saban is hosting an event at his Beverly Hills home on August 22 — the 14th Hollywood fundraiser since she announced her bid for the White House last year, according to Deadline. Heavy hitters like Disney DIS, +0.22% boss Bob Iger and DreamWorks DWA, +0.00% CEO Jeff Katzenberg are expected to attend.
COOL CLIMATE SPEECH DUDE
“Climate change is real, it is happening right now. It is the most urgent threat facing our entire species, and we need to work collectively together and stop procrastinating. We need to support leaders around the world who do not speak for the big polluters, but who speak for all of humanity, for the indigenous people of the world, for the billions and billions of underprivileged people out there who would be most affected by this. For our children’s children, and for those people out there whose voices have been drowned out by the politics of greed … Let us not take this planet for granted. I do not take tonight for granted.” – Leonardo DiCaprio before getting on his private jet to fly to his private yacht, thereby creating more pollution in one day than 1 million indigenous peoples in their lifetimes. The hypocrisy is delicious.
The dude is a high school dropout, but thinks he’s an expert on climate change. That’s rich.
