Dicaprio Takes Global Warming Warning To Tv

LEONARDO DiCAPRIO joined environmentalists to give Americans a pre-Hallowe'en scare on OPRAH WINFREY's chat show in the US yesterday (27OCT05), when he warned about the dangers of global warming.

The TITANIC star presented a segment from a politically-charged new documentary, called GLOBAL WARMING, which he narrates, and explained he felt the last year's hurricanes and tsunamis are just a terrifying warning of what is to come.

DiCaprio and DR MICHAEL OPPENHEIMER, a professor at Princeton University, attempted to explain the "complicated issue" of global warming, emphasising that America, which boasts five per cent of the world's population, produces 25 per cent of the globe's carbon emissions.

The actor stated, "Global warming is not only the number one environmental issue that we're facing today, but one of the most important issues facing all of humanity.

"We're in a situation right now where we're basically emitting too much of this carbon pollution from our cars and our electric power plants that burn coal into the atmosphere, and it's causing our planet to heat up."

Winfrey listened intently as DiCaprio warned about the dangers of ignoring the problem, and then said, "You feel like NOAH (biblical character who built an arc in preparation for a great flood) to me - you're like, 'Pay attention, pay attention, pay attention.'"

Winfrey then confessed she owns one of the five worst sports utility vehicles on a new emissions list, prompting DiCaprio to state, "That's OK, as long as you change that."

	To: Thevisionary Selective PC leftist propaganda seems to be clouding your vision. Since you are not sure what Christ says at times may I suggest you read: The Imitation of Christ, by Thomas A. Kempis

	Thanks for agreeing with most of my contentions. Regarding abortion as I a have already stated I believe that any one who hides behind either pro life or pro choice slogans has blood on their hands. i.e 95% of the Country. The goal is to have as few abortions as possible. Abortions go up under far right and Religious agenda's. I said that Jesus would not want animal cruelty and pollution etc. We have the land - but we must be good stewards of the land. So I struggle to see how decent people can disagree on that. I am not sure about Jesus’ views on homosexuality and I have concerns about gay marriage. We live in a Democracy. For Democracies to work the electorate must be informed. Thus one can pray in church etc - but when it comes to politics one must use one's brain. One can not suggest that God has given instructions to invade Iraq or appoint Brown as head of FEMA. To do so - Just makes God look stupid and no politician has that right. The Constitution - written by people with intelligence and good Christian pedigree is quite clear on this. Even "God Bless America" is totally incorrect unless it is preceded by "God bless Humanity" The evangelists are the pillar to the Neocons. Understanding that is what makes a scumbag like Rove so brilliant and so dangerous. Thus the foul actions of the Neocons destroy the integrity of the evangelists. Organized Religion can discuss issues - but they must never be too close to a party. To suggest that Democrats are less Godly is absurd and since it is slander - it is also a sin. As demonstrated by my list in my prior post ( a list that you appear to agree with) this administration - is far removed from any rational interpretation of Christ's teachings - in fact they are the opposite. By aligning one self with these people one is aligning oneself with the opposite of Christ. Any true and Educated Christian should be willing to launch a Crusade against the White house. That's what I want to do. Only when this is done can Christians in this Country be credible. ( I do not want to suggest that I consider myself a wonderful Christian - but I know that I have better morality than the core Religious Right - or anyone that respects or appears with Pat Robertson or George Bush. I am not saying that the Republicans must go - I am saying that all the individuals involved in crimes against humanity and the planet must go. Any one obstructing Justice must go and any one covering up for the White house must go. We must demand truth integrity and intelligence. Bush's false prayers have brought nothing but catastrophes. The following joke sums up everything that is wrong with the Bush apologists ( and there is plenty of supporting material in these posts - just try and find any substance in Joe's nonsense) Q. How many Bush Admin. officials does it take to replace a faulty light bulb? A: None. There is nothing wrong with the light bulb; its conditions are improving every day. Any reports of its lack of incandescence are a delusional spin from the liberal media. That light bulb has served honorably, and anything you say undermines the lighting effect. Why do you hate freedom?
