Do Leonardo DiCaprio and Al Gore have some sort of secret competition to see who can guilt the most people into forking over cash for boring documentaries? Sure seems like it. DiCaprio, who has been on a desperate search for respectability since being branded a teen idol in Titanic, just announced that he’ll be writing and producing a documentary about global warming of his own. Take that, Al Gore!

Kinda makes you wish this wasn’t a joke:

On the other hand, if Martin Scorsese wants to make a gritty, brutal, multi-decade epic about the behind-the-scenes true story of global warming (elevator pitch: “It’s like Goodfellas, but with climate scientists and economists!”), we might be on to something.
