United Nations - Statement by Mr. Leonardo DiCaprio, United Nations Messenger of Peace at the opening of the High-level Signature Ceremony for the Paris Agreement. Tackling Climate Change: www.un.org/sustainabledevelopm...
“If we use fuel to get our power, we are living on our capital and exhausting it rapidly. This method is barbarous and wantonly wasteful, and will have to be stopped in the interest of coming generations.” Nikola Tesla, 1915.
The Earth is a closed loop. Co2 Carbon gets captured during the Ice age of our planets climate cycle and gets released as we transition into the Water age over millions of years historically.
Don't know why but I shed a few tears after hearing his speech in 'Before the Flood', so I just had to see the original! They cut out the Lincoln references, the clapping and added a nice background music and cut scenes, it just made it that more powerful!
Leonardo DiCaprio for President of USA! Maybe now is to early and he is focused on acting & environment works but for sure after 15-20 years. Only this speech is much better than all things trump has done in his life!!!
+Andi Berisha I will if you go back to Europe and never come back. You don't even know the science do you. There is zero science that says human activities impact climate change. And frankly right now there is no global warming. That is why the UN greedy whores for the truly big global thieves had to change it to "climate change" from "global warming" or didn't you notice. Al Gore and Maurice Strong have said in emails there is no science, but yet it would still be useful (con) to have something for the people to rally around. Their words, not mine. The purpose of this global warming scam has always been about money. Now perfected by Obama. Carbon is in just about everything and now they are going to tax the carbon content of everything - even your pumpkins (not your head but the kind that grows out of the ground). Tens of trillions of dollars ripped out of our pockets on this global warming fraud and sent.... Where? Oh yes. Not into clean energy. Nope. Into the pockets of the traders. The bankers. The folks that will securities decades of tax collection and trade it and pocket probably about 75% of it. That is the real truth. Not the shit Leonardo DiCaprio is shoveling. And again - he is such a hypocrite. He says one thing, but does the other. A total self indulgent prick. And you - well you have a nice day. Okay pumpkin?
+Stuey Ungar Why do people think that just because someone cries "Foul" or "Scam" on this MAN MADE GLOBAL WARMING horseshit that they are against taking care of the environment? We are not. I see all these idiots, including DiCaprio just so you know, who jump on a bandwagon of ignorance, and doing nothing for the environment - in fact harm. What if we focused on the real environmental problems? Salt in the water table (from leather tanning), chemicals dumped into the environment to process rare earths for solar panels and wind generators (see Lake BaoTou), carcinogens in our GMO fertilizers and foods, etc.? Those are the real problems. CO2 is not even close to a problem except for one thing: We don't have enough of it in the atmosphere. I care about the environment and it bugs the hell out of me that this has turned into a fraudulent money making scheme, which ultimately takes resources away from a clean environment. Fuck Obama. Fuck the UN. And Fuck Leonardo. He should stick to acting. He is pretty good at that. But otherwise the man is a total pumpkin head.
It would be nice to have different languages subtitles; I would love my french friends who don't speak english to be able to listen to the speech. I believe the issue is so important that everyone should be able to acces.
goosebumps . especially if you listen the end speech of before the flood. everyone should follow the lead of Sweden who will become first non fossil country.
Good for Leonardo DiCaprio! The Paris agreement is a good start towards solving the problem of climate change. I too would be like to be part of the solution and would welcome any suggestions as to how I might best contribute to this our most pressing need as human beings.
@@HardKore5250 Because he is using private jets and helicopter on daily basis and crying here that people not able to use a cab are not doing enogh? And dont you think that the guy presenting him to us should mention that this messenger of peace that is pretending here that is the expert didnt even finished his high school?
Leonardo DiCaprio the 'eco warrior' flew on a private jet from NY to LA SIX times in SIX weeks. I don't burn this much fuel in 5 years. Virtue signaling of the highest magnitude right there.
This is always a solution for the protection of environment. It has been with us , it is how we manage our surroundings and the nature landscapes . The Problems with us , Human is to seek or find answers and solution to Pollution. We should take oath to protect our Environment before a pollution problem arises.
I want thanks LIONARDO DICAPRIO FOR CONCERN & STEPS about climate changes.hope the countries which are causing for climate changes will take step as quickly as possible
Amazing speech! I am absolutely astonished that it had taken so long for action. The issue of global warming, that so many people would like nothing more than to ignore, has gradually been increasing in its destruction for decades now, and still everything is up in the air, so to speak. As much as I am glad that so much light has been shed upon this issue, how do we know that our planet will be sustained and protected in time? How can we deny what is unfolding before us? How can we refuse to believe in something that has already killed thousands and thousands of people? I am a Christian, and even I can see that denying climate change is no longer right. The facts have been clearly stated. The effects have occurred time and time again. So, why do we ignore it? We as a human race, are destructive and greedy. This very fact blatantly stains the pages of history. I know we cannot change, but I hope we can learn, and grow as a world so we can face the problems we have caused and unite together to solve them. Mr DiCaprio, I applaud you. You may face the scrutiny of people who call you a Hollywood hypocrite (when they, in many ways, are also hypocrites), but you have been working on the issue of global warming for almost 20 years and your passion, determination and compassion for the cause has led so many people to look within their own lives and try to find ways in which they can contribute to fixing the virtually impossible. Thank you for persevering and staying true to who you are as a person.
David Ringlein Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. In saying that, have you ever read the Bible yourself? "The nations raged, but your wrath came, and the time for the dead to be judged, and for rewarding your servants, the prophets and saints, and those who fear your name, both small and great, and for destroying the destroyers of the earth.” This is just one example from Revelations 11:18. The destroyers of the earth are those who have wasted the resources of the world God created for us and continue to waste them despite the many indications of global warming the destruction of our earth. But, what about from another part of the Bible? "“As for you, my flock, thus says the Lord God: Behold, I judge between sheep and sheep, between rams and male goats. Is it not enough for you to feed on the good pasture, that you must tread down with your feet the rest of your pasture; and to drink of clear water, that you must muddy the rest of the water with your feet?" This is Ezekiel 34:17-18. God is asking why we must covet for things we don't have and destroy things around us when we have so much to sustain us, and so much to give to others to sustain them. As a Chrsitian, I believe that it is God who created the Earth and created each and every living thing within it in His image. He created his Earth so that we could flourish and live a prosperous life. But, since Adam and Eve, we as humans have been easily deceived and look at where it has brought is. I'll admit that these Bible verses I have given you can easily by perceived differently, but this is the way I have interpreted them. Good day to you.
@@pablozapata6551 yea because its not like you need 5 seconds to go to wikipedia and find "Global temperature record", where you for example can read " The Holocene Climatic Optimum was generally warmer than the 20th century...". But i bet you dont even know what Holocene is...
Dear Mr Soufiane Ibaachen of Morocco. What do you talk his English language so oralist into his interpretation? His Chinese people is permitted to revisit a tourist foreigner at Beijing City and a Buddhist temple for his Chinese monks of the prayers.
yea more High School Dropout TV Celebrities talking about science... that is what this world needs! And after that speech he get back to his private jet to go on another party with oil industry billionaires...
Thank you Leonardo for giving us the truth and all your great work. I came up with and idea some years ago - making plywood from recyclable leaves, thus saving many trees. I made a small prototype , and it is possible and simple to do. Unable to get a patent and with no more money to invest - I offer this idea to any one interested. Saving our planet one idea at a time is far more important than commercial greed.
There is no water in California because of price controls and government intervention for the last forty years. The Indonesian rainforests are burnt because no one can own and protect them, the Indonesian government gets bribed and allows companies to burn the rainforest for palm oil. The solution is to strengthen private property rights and let the free market manage prices, but instead liberals think strengthening government and writing a couple laws will save the world. If you want to save the environment you need to start with the US government. Its no secret that the US Department of Defense is the Worst Polluter on the Planet.
holmbjerg Price controls don't create droughts, price controls create shortages. If the government passed a law to make gas $0.50 a gallon. People would use more gas because its cheap, more people would go on road trips around the country, people would drive more and therfore use more gas than they otherwise would if gas was more expensive. California has droughts, but they wouldn't be out of water if they didn't keep the price of water cheap for the last 40 years. Californians have been using more water than they otherwise would. Price controls create shortages, learn economics.
"Price controls create shortages"- You are thinking oil and extrapolating it to everything. Ppl can live without oil(or consume less) but they cannot in the case of Water. Besides, what you are saying has nothing to do with availability of water in a piece of land- it has nothing to do with price controls. Please stop spewing BS.
Ashutosh Upreti Going vegan would help but we need to do more we need to show our government this is a big issue and it is important to us citizens. we need to push and push and make the government go into renewable energy!
@@sikskulll Yes, we need to not get any education like our Leo the High School dropout and fly private jets and helicopters betwen our talks about "great work" ahead of us...
No there is plenty of people that dont using brain and are completly fine with thinking that celebrity that do not bother to finish high school or use anything that is not a private jet or helicopter is brainwashing them for good old money...
I'm gonna sail the Great Lakes and you show me 2 Captains, one says Columbus and the other says the Vikings, I'm goin' with the Vikings.,...that's Lewis and Clark.
Leonardo is not only one of the best actors of all time, but a true young leader that is raising the hand ans his voice in orrder to protect what it cant be irreplaceble: mother earth, our home. Please lets take action before it is too late, "before the flood"

From providing the energy to grow our food, to generating 70% of the world's electricity, to heating most people's homes. To providing the energy to make and run water works and sewer systems so people don't have to worry about getting cholera or dysentery. Fossil fuels make it possible for the world to support 7 billion people.

you broadcast that ATM services for American Express customers was ended, was that news broadcast some type of threat to the customers, or was that collective bargaining.
Leonardo di Caprio, you'd better support Sea Shepherd and give them a new ship and a new aircraft and a satellite Accesses! Sea Shepherd are all Volunteers x and really act for Biodiversity and preserve Marine life and the Oceans for years under the way of Captain Paul Watson!
I wonder if the Oscar journalist has followed him to UN!! I can imagine her saying " hi Leo, my name is( insert a name here) and I'm the first Egyptian journalist to cover the UN. what about your first Global worming?!!!
👉Dear Mr Soufiane Ibaachen of Morocco. 🇺🇳🌘🌏🌎🌍☀️ I respect to say a mercy as a sincerity for his American young man Leonardo DiCaprio of United Nations of flag 🇺🇳🇺🇸🇬🇧🇦🇺
I got to say I am now a Decaprio fan. I mean, I wasn't really a fan in his early years because im really not a fan of any actors/actress. I enjoy the work and that's about it. Its rare for me to really love an actor/actress for something beyond a good role in a movie. Leonardo has won me over. It is inspiring to hear him do this and he actually received some applause which also surprised me. Unfortunately it was from maybe 10% of those listening. The rest I can only guess, are on the oil company lobbyist take. Still though. I applaud him and have a higher respect for him. Also, he killed that jerk bear and I love animals but that bear got what was coming to it. lol :D I work for a major Oil company and although my job and life depends on me keeping it. I don't make much but I would trade it if it meant the world could come together and make a change in how we use oil. Cheers.
