    I wonder how much he makes personally, as a paid part in his foundation:

    As for dark colors, that's only what our eyes perceive. What really matters is the emissivity of the IR spectra. Some dark colors are transparent or reflective to IR.

    A great man once said, "In the dark, we are all the same color."

    No, but most these foundations pay their top executives six figure salaries. Just pointing that out. I have never seen any facts that he is doing this solely out of the goodness of his heart.

    You have also never seen any facts that he is taking a six figure salary from this foundation.

    That you haven't gotten any facts about Leo's getting a six figure salary from his foundation?

    Sure.

    i'm sure he gets a nice tax break, though he's probably not in it just for that...

    LOL...

    I do look things up. If not before hand, later like I did right after my last post.

    There are no 990's filed since 2008, and he took zero for income then and the year before. Since then, it was rolled over to a CCF fund that takes care of tax filing, and I was unable to find any recent records.

    He probably maintains the zero income.

    I doubt as an actor, he gets much of a tax break. Since his income isn't capital gains, he likely pays the top marginal rates for federal and California.

    Isn't mortgage interest capped? Breaks on personal funds to charities and retirement savings, but he still has a huge income to pay taxes on.

    So I was right on both counts.

    Go figure.

    How petty. As if one small private jet is the driving force behind global warming.

    I never said he needed. Most these wealthy people put on a face for the public, and live lives hypocritical to their words. I am one to say, facts make statistics, but statistics don't make facts. This guy is outside of the statistical norm when it comes to foundations.

    My hat's off to him. This surprised me.

    I'll bet you have neither facts nor statistics to back up this claim.

    What... That statistically, the head of a large foundation draws a six figure salary?

    Have at it...

    Necesary evil?

    How else do you figure one can go from point A to point B when it relates to other countries outside of the US?

    Is not like they can go green.

    It's the same hypocrisy of an anti gun celeb who enjoys an armed security detail. They have theirs, but they don't want you to have yours.
