Leonardo DiCaprio used his Oscar acceptance speech last night to declare that climate change "is real" and to blast what he called the "politics of greed."

DiCaprio won the Academy Award for best actor for his role in "The Revenant" as a 19th-century frontiersman who is left for dead after being mauled by a bear.

He said making "The Revenant" was "about man's relationship with the natural world" and noted that the world in 2015 marked its hottest year on record. The production crew, he said, had to move to the "southern tip of this planet" in order to find snow.

Anybody that denies climate change is not informed. Mankind walked to Britain and to Alaska over land bridges which later became oceans.

Anybody that believes it has been proved that mankind causes the changes, is severely indoctrinated.

I am interested in sound science, with predictions of impacts on our shorelines, etc.
