Dismal ratings for DiCaprio's Global Warming Epic 'Before the Flood' – beaten by 'Bubble Guppies'

The weekend ratings are out, and they aren’t good news for Leonardo DiCaprio’s Global Warming Epic ‘Before the Flood‘, which we reviewed yesterday on WUWT. Showbuzz Daily has listed the top 150 TV and Cable programs for the weekend, and in ‘the hottest year ever’, discussing the ‘most important topic ever’, Before the Flood came in at #61 for the weekend.

Ironically, the kids show “Bubble Guppies” beat it at #53. Ouch.

Perhaps this snoozer didn’t do so well because of the stellar cast of characters?

I mean, who wouldn’t want to tune in and have a jet-setting actor-millionaire, a government handout beneficiary, a Pope, the globe-trotting Secretary of State, the lame-duck president, the ‘Horndog-in-Chief” and the leader of the U.N. come on for 96 minutes and berate you for doing things like driving your car, eating hamburgers, and just not caring enough about the planet like they do while looking down on us from their private planes?

This review on IMDB, says it all:

Al Gore says it’s so and therefore it is?

30 October 2016 | by pete-801-834182 (United States) – See all my reviews
Basically DeCaprio was told by Al Gore (who has made a hundred millions of dollars by preaching global warming after he retired from political life, gained a bunch of weight and had nothing to do) that anthropological global warming is real, and from that point onward DeCaprio was convinced. LOL! Then DeCaprio presents the ole “97% of scientists” lie that has traveled around the world. In reality 66% of scientists have no opinion about AGW — Those opinions were conveniently thrown out of the messaged John Cook study. Then DeCaprio presents cherry picked anecdotal evidence, without ever questioning whether it’s a case of Texas Sharpshooting. Why didn’t he present the Vostok Station / Greenland ice core data to put the last 100 years IN PERSPECTIVE versus the last 5,000 years, 11,000 years and 420,000 years? And if he’s such a big fan of anecdotal evidence over temperature data then why didn’t he mention that Greenland used to be green? That 20,000 years ago New York was covered by a mile thick glacier? Why didn’t DeCaprio interview Patrick Moore, the co-founder of Greenpeace, who is not part of “Big Oil” and doesn’t buy into AGW? Because DeCaprio suffers from confirmation bias. The rest of this propaganda piece (I mean movie) continues under the ASSUMPTION that humans are causing the planet to warm and we all need to agree to tax ourselves more. No thanks.
Here’s the trailer, you can count how many times smokestacks (venting steam), gas flaring, and other images of petro-doom are presented.

The Pope? Obama? Slick Willie? J Kerry-Heinz? This might be the biggest collection of douchebags ever! This makes “The Expendables” look like public cable access cast-offs…. Another Arnie Grape classic… You were more believable when you were playing Howard Hughes. Douchebaggery at it’s finest!

So DiCaprio has turned out to be just another crook diverting funds from climate change sheep into his pockets by the millions. Who woulda though the man who was a natural as the Wolf of Wall Street could fit the part so well.

Di Caprio has such a huge carbon footprint, he doesn’t have enough money to cover it all. All those trips in huge airliners back to back, when ever he wants. Have you seen pics of his house all lit up at night, no sparing the electricity. Every light in the house on. He don’t care about global warming.
Leonardo DiCaprio took a private jet to New York City on Wednesday, May 18, to accept an environmental award — and then hopped back on the plane to return to France just one day later.
DiCaprio flies his LA friends 6,000 miles around the world so they can listen to his speech on GLOBAL WARMING. Each guest flying 12,000 miles from LA will release seven tons of CO2
Dicaprio owns 4 luxury homes, you think all the lights are off in the homes he is NOT currently in? Heated swimming pools year around, when no one is there.

The only global warming film worse than this biased piece of crap was Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth” which, if one actually checked the predictions made in it, should have been titled “An Inconvenient Pack Of Lies and Propaganda”.

Compare DeCaprio’s Documentary to The Changing Climate of Global Warming. The Changing Climate was far more prophetic.

I wrote about these fraudulent “weather outposts” in college and both the professor and fellow students were shocked that they hadn’t heard of them before. Temperature-reading stations on a black tar roof, right outside of the HVAC air vent, where the internal hot air is vented back outside to be cooled again. I had tons of pictures like the one you have, so you can’t argue with what you see, can you?
The Regressives believe their own propaganda against their obvious betters and think we’re all stupid. But in reality, it’s the far-Left Regressives who are dumber than a bag of broken hammers and who will believe anything they’re told by their though masters in Big Entertainment and the Alt-Left Media. They’re an emotional lot, without a shred of logic or common sense among them, which of course makes them a malleable bunch of dummies.

Why in earth would I believe an actor who was educated on the back lot of a movie studio about global warming? Hey Leo, it’s the sun and you can’t do jack about it. What a dip shit.

“Fmr. Harvard U. Physicist on DiCaprio film: ‘Everyone with IQ above 90 must be offended by sheer stupidity of film'”
Completely agree. LDC is quite a few sandwiches short of a picnic. No ability for critical analysis. He just wants to believe.

Better to stay quiet and believed a fool than to speak and confirm it. DiCaprio confirmed it. Pagliacio!

I hope leonardo loses his shirt over this fiasco.
Man made climate change is a farce, and most rational people are aware of it.

Manmade climate change is very real, but CO2 has nothing to do with it. The CO2 ruse places the blame for climate change on you, not the people causing the change. Wake up, people. The cause is chemtrails and radio wave emitters like HAARP. The change isn’t yet global, but local manipulations of climate like in the SW U.S. have been going on for well over a decade. If the sun shows its spots again, you might be surprised how quickly things heat up. If you’re not yet aware of chemtrails and HAARP, you will be – – if they’re not stopped. The only question I ponder is whether or not DiCaprio knows he’s part of the ruse. It’s possible he knows just as well as the rest of us that CO2-induced climate change is total bullshit. After all, look at the pack he’s running with (the cast) in that movie. The scum at the bottom of the barrel, all.

Are there more ridiculous photos of polar ears on ice floes? Like they can’t swim. It’s available on youtube for free I think. I still won’t watch it. I have far better things to do. No more money from me, Mr. DiCaprio.

Anytime one suggests the “conversation is over” you can rest assured a very expensive inconvenient lie will follow. Minerals tell us the earths surface was once 10,000° now a 60 mile thick life producing cool crust. The poles had no ice until 34 million years ago that would indicate a very significant cooling. Ocean level rise or subduction due to plate tectonics? Carbon dioxide (human exhalant & plant food) deemed a poison by pseudo intellects and non scientists like Divinity School failure Al Gore promote this drivel as a way to line crony pockets by stealing from gullible and compliant citizens. There is no way to keep the Republic as Ben Franklin quipped “if you can keep it” because the public is lazy, ignorant, incurious, gullible, and taught what to think not how to think via a public education that ranks at the bottom of every industrialized nation. We are a nation of buffoons soon to lose it. Global warming is the least of our worries.

Yes the truth is slowly leaking out… I hear people talking about fossil fuels and renewables… But did you know that both are just a money making machine for the elite with propaganda directed to keep you in the dark (literally, lol). Tesla already knew that energy can be capture basically for free, for everyone in the world to use it whenever. Key word is “free”, those in power don’t give stuff away for free, so maybe this kid will, let’s hope…https://youtu.be/yPhRq5r8iqg

How typical. Here we have a bunch of snobs that are so rich the only problems they have anymore is worrying about the world burning out or something so they cant fly their jets and sail their big boats around anymore, then you have us real people who dont have time to worry about bull crap like that because we have to worry about paying our rent/house payments and keep a car on the road and kids in clothes and actual problems that they have forgotten about simply because we have turned them (actors mostly) into God like figures. Why dont we wise up and stop making fools like Dicaprio (sp? dont care) filthy rich snobs who look down upon and laugh at the very people, or FOOLS that made them so rich? Stop going to their dumb azz movies, stop chasing them down for a stupid autograph, hell w/these people! It is not normal to worship just people like they are Gods and anyone that does should get a life for Christ sakes. These people take your money and then call you stupid then laugh at you! Whats wrong with you?
