Politicians who don't believe in climate change should not hold public office, said actor Leonardo DiCaprio Monday at the White House before the screening of his new climate documentary.

Ironically, I'm sure Leo took a private jet just like his mentor did and punched holes in the ozone instead of travelling commercially or by land. Ironic...

Meh, I gave up boycotting people for whatever reason a long time ago - if you dig enough, most every artist will support something that will .... you off. Just enjoy their art for what it is and ignore them if what they say publicly bothers you.

It's a shame we are not able to disagree in a civil manner any more.

The only people not disagreeing in a civil manner are idiots like you!

As I yelled at a band waxing political at the Masquerade many years ago, "SHUT THE HELL UP AND PLAY"

Most of the showbiz types are Atheists, New-Agers or Scientologists . This shapes their world-view.

I actually somewhat agree with him. Big shocker, I know.

I wouldn't limit it to climate change denial though. Denial of things like climate change and evolution (the republicans, generally), modern medicine and the benefits of GMOs (Jill Stein and the Greens, and to some degree the democrats) are indicators of deeply flawed worldviews.

Just for clarity, believing the medicine is not worth the side effects is not denying that the climate is changing.

It's not whether the climate is changing. Of course it's changing, and has been throughout the history of this planet. Billions of years, in fact, before "Man" ever stepped foot on it. The argument is whether "Man" has been and is contributing to and thus has the power to reduce or reversely affect that change.

Well, there certainly are degrees, but there are a lot of folks on the right that reject anthropogenic climate change in it's entirety. In my experience, this list of 12 categories from rationalwiki tends to hold true:

Not only deny global warming, but insist the opposite is occurring. This goes beyond denialism and verges on the psychotic.
Simply deny global warming is happening — and maintain that no action is necessary — an increasingly uncommon position.
Global warming is happening, but it’s not caused by humanity — so we don’t have to change anything.
Global warming is happening, and it is in part caused by humanity, but mostly it's caused by solar activity — so we don't have to change anything.
Global warming is happening, and it is in part caused by humanity, but predicting future emission levels is equivalent to astrology — so we don't have to change anything, Ehrlich!
Global warming is happening, it is caused by humanity, but it may be a good thing — so we don’t have to change anything.
Global warming is happening, it is caused by humanity, it may be a bad thing, but [insert emotional appeal and/or false dichotomy about how doing anything about it would prevent the world's poor from improving their lives] — so we don't have to change anything.
Global warming is happening, it is caused by humanity, it may be a bad thing, but there are still more serious crises that deserve higher priority — so we don't have to change anything.
Global warming is happening, it is caused by humanity, it is a bad thing, but China and India aren't doing anything — so we don’t have to change anything.
Global warming is happening, it is caused by humanity, it is a bad thing, and maybe China and India are willing to do something, but I've heard about this new energy source/technology that's going to completely solve the problem in 10-20 years — so we don't have to change anything.
Global warming is happening, it is caused by humanity, it is a bad thing, but even if China and India do something it’s too late for us to do anything and it would cost us a crapload of dough — so we don’t have to change anything.
Global warming was happening, it was caused by humanity, it is a very bad thing and previous governments could and should have done something, but it's too late now!

Your position is number 11. All that attitude boils down to is one thing thing; handwaving away any notion of mitigation.

do you have any idea how different these three groups are? You might as well say, most are apples, oranges or airplanes

it is very well established in the scientific literature that the current climate change is caused by humans.

Written by another human hater, no doubt. Personally, I think if all the human haters were to commit suicide it would be a win-win for all the rest of us.

yes, climate scientists hate humans.

i hope you realize that the scientific literature on this was written by a large number of scientists, not just one "human hater"

Today I Learned.....

97% if all climate scientists hate humans

Wow, who knew?

Multiple studies published in peer-reviewed scientific journals1 show that 97 percent or more of actively publishing climate scientists agree: Climate-warming trends over the past century are extremely likely due to human activities. In addition, most of the leading scientific organizations worldwide have issued public statements endorsing this position. The following is a partial list of these organizations, along with links to their published statements and a selection of related resources.
