Leonardo DiCaprio criticizes the Bush administration

The famous actor Leonardo DiCaprio, calling the United States the largest source of environmental pollution in the world, called on President George Bush President to show increased attention to this problem and visit the World Environment Summit in Johannesburg (South Africa), which will take place at the end of this month.

“Mr. Bush, we ask for your support. Be the president who is looking into the future,” Paphos turned to the head of state DiCaprio at a rally organized by the Union of Green USA (Global Green Usa), Ar. As you know, Bush has not announced whether he will join at a meeting of 100 world leaders, including the British Prime Minister Tony Blair, President of Mexico Visent Fox and French President Jacques Shirak.

In polemic heat, DiCaprio also accused the Bush administration of evading the signing of the Kyoto Protocol and refused to join the international agreement on the protection of the atmosphere with the forced management of industrial facilities.

“And this is despite the fact that we have the most developed economy and are the largest pollutant,” the actor said angrily. Environmental protection experts then motivated this by the fact that the agreement would cost the American economy billions of dollars and millions of jobs.

Recall that until recently, US President George Bush did not know who DiCaprio was. This was told to the world by the reporter of The New York Times Frank Bruni, author of the book "Jumping in History". According to the author, Bush Jr. has extremely superficial knowledge, and often demonstrates complete ignorance in matters of culture, at least mass, that is, the American one.

So, during his election campaign, communicating with voters, Bush said that he did not know who Leonardo DiCaprio is.
