Beyond that I haven't seen him complaining much about the oil practices in California that are far more damaging then the Oil Sands, and he showed that he doesn't actually do his homework, ie Chinooks, but is willing to bleat catchphrases.
Thanks but no thanks. Guys like Leo are actually what's wrong with the environmental movement.

I see this argument a lot, and I don't get it. If Leo lived in a teepee and travelled by horse would you actually listen to him? Do the environmentalists who don't have don't have jets and yachts have their voices heard more easily?
He is just using the transportation that's available to him, just like you and I do (and would if we were in his shoes).
Nowhere in the film do I see him pointing his finger at the "lower class scum", clearly global warming is being discussed as a large scale global problem that needs large scale solutions, he's not absolving himself from it.
I don't see why people get so defensive about this.
