Leonardo DiCaprio is worried, very worried, about the state of the planet.

So the jet-hopping, yacht-loving, multiple-home-owning Hollywood megastar recently took a break from the money-grubbing world of Tinseltown to educate us plebes (you know, those of us who ride the LRT to work, recycle our cans and bottles, and turn down the thermostat at night) on the threat of climate change.

This involved a lot of flying hither and thither to exotic locales, naturally, where DiCaprio speaks to climate scientists, religious leaders, activists and even fellow celebs like Oscar-winning movie director Alejandro Inarritu (The Revenant), Tesla Motors founder Elon Musk, and U.S. President Barack Obama.
