More than 100,000 people were evacuated from the terrible fire in Los Angeles, including celebrities such as Tom Hanks, Anthony Hopkins, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and many others.
Hundreds of local inhabitants’ homes were completely de:stro:yed, and more than 20 people were d.e.a.d.
Celebrities have banded together in response to this catastrophe, donating millions of dollars and physically volunteering, as Paris Hilton has done. However, Leonardo DiCaprio, the self-proclaimed climate warrior, departed Los Angeles on a private jet.
The network is horrified by the famous actor’s behavior, as he is recognized for his environmental activism and fight against climate change. In under a minute, his humanitarian foundation has distributed more than $ 80 million in donations aiming at climate change and sustainability.
But the other day, Leo and his girlfriend, model Vittoria Ceretti, decided to take a private jet from the blazing Los Angeles to the Mexican destination of Cabo San Lucas.
So that’s all! Given how much private jets and planes in general affect the environment, this does not align with Leo’s public position.
Of course, the Internet was incensed by the actor’s actions, and netizens erupted in nasty remarks.
“Leonardo DiCaprio is a first-class hypocrite”;
“Climate warrior. What an i.d.i.o.t”;
“Imagine what it’s like, a multi-million dollar house burns down, and you fly to another city on a private jet to another multi-million dollar house.”
Let us also note that the approximate distance between Los Angeles and Cabo San Lucas is more than 1,448 kilometers. Flying a private jet on this route can emit 8-16 metric tons of CO₂ into the atmosphere.
For reference, the average annual carbon footprint per person worldwide is only 4 metric tons. Given these figures, the acts of self-proclaimed climate fighters pose numerous problems.
