Trump might do what Obama couldn’t: Effectively fight climate change

Looks like Mitt Romney isn’t the only one kissing the ring of President-elect Donald Trump, Hollywood celebrities are doing it too.

Throughout the campaign, Oscar-winning actor Leonardo DiCaprio continuously ripped Trump over his stance on climate change.

Referencing Trump’s claims that climate change is a hoax created by the Chinese to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive, DiCaprio said in October, “The scientific consensus is in and the argument is over. If you do not believe in climate change, you do not believe in facts or in science or empirical truths and therefore, in my humble opinion, should not be allowed to hold public office.”

In a surprising turn of events, however, The Revenant actor who has pushed for action to combat climate change met with Trump at Trump Tower in New York City on Thursday morning to discuss green jobs.

According to a statement, Terry Tamminen, CEO of the Leonard DiCaprio Foundation, confirmed the meeting with the President-elect, his daughter Ivanka, and other members of Trump’s team on how focusing on renewable, clean energy could create millions of jobs.
