It seems like pretty clear hypocrisy to me, so I don't understand the distinction you're seeing here.

Either way I don't know that it's worth arguing about. I don't really care what Leo thinks about climate change or anything else besides acting; the guy isn't some visionary thinker whose insights on any topic are particularly interesting.
Did you watch the film? Leo literally met and had in-depth interviews with a number of the most powerful, informed and influential people on the planet regarding climate change. He used his fame as an actor to get unparalleled access and educate himself on many aspects of a very complex and wide reaching issue. He didn't present himself as an expert but rather a student trying to understand and document what he discovered.

Like any documentary, certain issues are presented in a way that gets the overall message across without fully exploring the arguments from all sides. But after watching the film, I would find it difficult to discredit Leo as being uninformed on the issue and am impressed with the breadth of content that was presented.
