The Oscar-winning actor is hosting an exclusive gala in St. Tropez to raise money to stop global warming — and is asking his celebrity guests to fly halfway around the world to attend. In an attempt to save the planet from climate change, Leonardo DiCaprio has found himself in hot water. RelatedDanny Harvey, a professor who specializes in global warming and energy efficiency at the University of Toronto, said that while airplanes can be harmful, the outcome of the fundraiser may be worth traveling to Europe. “If (guests) want to have the lowest impact, they should go economy class in a big commercial airline on a non-stop flight,” Harvey said. “Private jets might be harder to justify, unless everyone is going in the same jet.”
