Why some climate advocates cringed at Leo's Oscar speech
This is really embarassing, not only to Leo, but to the entire "global warming" crowd.
It turns out that there is a weather condition called a chinook that Leo Dumbass thought was "global warming"
The 41-year-old actor again highlighted his experience of a sudden change in temperature and loss of snow while filming The Revenant in southern Alberta as evidence of a warming globe.
"Our production needed to move to the southern tip of this planet just to be able to find snow," DiCaprio said during his acceptance speech.
The incident DiCaprio described was widely believed to be a chinook — a weather phenomenon that occurs when warm air is forced downward at the point where mountains meet prairies. The effect, which is not a direct effect of climate change, is particularly pronounced in southern Alberta and frequently brings sudden bouts of summer-like conditions in the dead of winter.
While he didn't disagree with DiCaprio's fundamental point, Alberta-based author Chris Turner described the actor's insistence on using a chinook as a case in point for climate change as less than helpful.
Here's the thing:
If man-made global warming was real, they wouldn't have had to change the name to "climate change" and they wouldn't need movie actors to push for it during Oscar awards.
And if man-made global warming was real, they wouldn't have to demand that global warming deniers be given the death penalty:
