I had heard DiCaprio defended because it was said that he wasn't the only one who used the "eyebrow artist" as if she worked on a few others made a lot of difference
Anywho, DiCaprio does like to party on yachts, including his own and the $687 million 482' long one that he rented from Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan (a UAE oil tycoon who lives in England) to attend the 2014 World Cup with less than two dozen friends. Apparently it isn't exactly energy efficient using thousands of gallons of diesel fuel per hour. He also likes to fly on private jets several times a month to various destinations in Europe and Asia. And yet he claims to live a "carbon neutral lifestyle."
As for Ruffalo, I should have said that he had his family flown to Australia to vacation on the Great Barrier Reef.
And I don't have a problem with people taking vacations. What I have a problem is people lecturing others to live a more austere lifestyle not doing so themselves.
Yeah, it sucks when people are hypocrites, but again, we commit the genetic fallacy when we ignore the message for the messenger. And a lot of these people who are being singled out for being hypocrites have raised or donated millions of dollars to the environmental and humanitarian causes they're preaching for. Perhaps that doesn't counter-balance some of their wastefulness, but it seems that more than a few are doing more than simply talking about it.

Study coauthor Josh Willis of JPL said these findings do not throw suspicion on climate change itself.
"The sea level is still rising," Willis noted. "We're just trying to understand the nitty-gritty details."

That's why you quote the whole post you're replying to, so people can easily see the entire context of what you're replying to. http://www.theologyweb.com/campus/sh...l=1#post661362

It isn't a precondition, it isn't even a slim possibility. That's why we are mocking you for pretending it is.
Typing words sometimes solves problems or helps to solve problems.

There is no claim that I solve world problems. What you are creating is a straw man.
Let's return to the comment that started this new derail:
Originally posted by Tassman View PostAnd this is a good thing is it? The planet is faced with catastrophic global warming and you think it cute to "derail" the thread and talk about AstroTurf.
If you can't handle the heat, stay out of the kitchen, Chuck. Don't just make some assinine comment then try to backpedal away from it when called on it.
