Most of the wintry revenge Western — in which DiCaprio’s character is also nearly raped to death by a female bear — was filmed on location in Alberta, Canada. But a dire shortage of snow meant that some of the scenes had to be shot in Argentina instead. This was definitely a dread harbinger of climate change, DiCaprio has been telling audiences: “We were in Calgary and the locals were saying, ‘This has never happened in our province, ever,’” he said to the largely guild and Academy audience. “We would come and there would be eight feet of snow, and then all of a sudden a warm gust of wind would come.” Elsewhere he has claimed: Turbulent and disruptive weather events are happening all over the world and are causing irreparable damage. 2015 has literally become the tipping point for climatic instability and it’s incredibly scary. Scary indeed. There’s only one problem with DiCaprio’s thesis — and already it’s causing Canadians to laugh their socks off. These unprecedented weather conditions in which sudden warm gusts of winds blew away the snow: they’ve been happening year in year out in southern Alberta since the dawn of time. There’s nothing weird or abnormal about them at all. They’re seasonal hot winds called the Chinook. As the Calgary Sun notes: It would be hilarious, if the star of The Revenant wasn’t also the head of a multimillion-dollar environmental lobby group, the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation, and a producer of documentaries on climate change. It adds: If DiCaprio really got his chinook misinformation from a local, the actor should be furious. He’s been duped into looking like a dim-wit, pure and simple. Even DiCaprio’s normally sympathetic audience at the HuffPost cannot contain their glee, with commenters writing: Leo, stick to making movies. You suck at this climate change thing. If you were to have spoken to an actual local as opposed to whatever yes man you asked, they would have told you it was a Chinook. A well known weather phenomenon here in Alberta. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinook_wind A perfect example to prove why actors etc are not the best spokesman for anything, it also goes to prove most actors who represent themselves as champions of the environment and have the id of their shoe size, imperial. oh poor thing , not enough snow. The locals who told him that it has never happened before must have been implants – what a crock this “actor” is. and can you imagine – in the spring there being lack of snow. Do these fools know what seasons are about. And seasons I read have been happening for – well – say – a couple thousand years maybe.
Leonardo DiCaprio has spoken movingly about how he witnessed at first hand the horrors of climate change during the making of his Oscar-tipped movie The Revenant.

Who really GAS what Leonardo DiCaprio thinks ?
Si vis pacem, para bellum Those who beat their swords into plowshares will plow for those who don't Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God. There are no Carthaginian terrorists. “The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.” - George S. Patton
C'mon, give Leo a break. He got raped by a Canadian bear. Where's your compassion?
With the bear. There are three kinds of people in the world: those that can add and those that can't
WTH is a "Chinook Wind",a helicopter fart? I'm thinking I need to get out more. Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012) American Indians had open borders. Look at how well that worked out for them.
Wiki: Chinook wind Calgary and the area to its south in Alberta is the big Chinook wind hotspot.
Go to Boulder, Co. I experienced one there a couple of decades ago. I was told they weren't that uncommon. There are three kinds of people in the world: those that can add and those that can't
Go to Boulder, Co. I used to go to the bars there on weekends in the 70's. College babes were hot for guys with long hair,beards,and Harley's back then,and I was hot for college babes.

"A strong Chinook can make snow one foot deep almost vanish in one day. The snow partly melts and partly evaporates in the dry wind. Chinook winds have been observed to raise winter temperature, often from below -20°C (-4°F) to as high as 10-20°C (50-68°F) for a few hours or days, then temperatures plummet to their base levels. The greatest recorded temperature change in 24 hours was caused by Chinook winds on January 15, 1972, in Loma, Montana; the temperature rose from -48 to 9°C (-54 to 48°F)."
