Robert Redford sees 'last chance' to fix climate

United Nations (United States) (AFP) - Robert Redford told the United Nations on Monday that negotiations on a global deal to tackle climate change could be the world's "last chance" to save the planet.

"This December, the world must unite behind a common goal," said the American actor and producer.

"Because look, this is it. This is our only planet, our only life source.

"This may be our last chance."

World governments will try to forge a new global accord to address climate change at a UN climate conference in Paris in December, with both developed and developing countries committing to cutting greenhouse gas emissions.

The landmark agreement would limit global warming to 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit (two degrees Celsius) from pre-industrial revolution levels as of 2020.

"We are all responsible for this crisis," Redford told the gathering. "Your mission is as simple as it is daunting: save the world before it's too late."

You didn't understand my question.

Not how was he going to fix it but where he was going to fix it?

If you are going to fix a car you know what your goal is.

But as of yet I have not heard anyone say what is the hard goal is for climate.

If you have no idea what your goal is how can you even start?

When they can tell me what the optimal climate is for planet earth and why then they can start to tell me how they think this should be achieved. Until then I see no reason to listen to them.

Over the next 5-10 years watch people like Redford become ever more strident and demanding and suicidal in their approaches.

They have no knowledge, yet will be throwing everything into the attempt to be able to tell their creator, at their deaths, that they accomplished something in life, besides pretending to be somebody else.

They claim not to believe in heaven and hell and the Bible’s fairy tales, but really they do.

We are having a triple digit heat wave here, in Central Washington. If he wants to fix something, he can start here by cooling us off.

I think he goes to the same hair colorist that Trump goes to AND she is color blind

Trump is certainly not all things to everyone and in no way is prefect, but how about critiquing his merits and what is says instead of stooping to the same tactics the left uses?

Dear Robert Redford.

For you, I offer two suggestions.

1. Read Climate Change: The Facts (written by real "scientists")

and...

2. Do not by toupees from Dollar Tree.

Bobby needs to get himself one of those large over-the-head billboard placards that says “The End is Near!” and parade up and down Hollywood Boulevard .... he’d fit right in!

Indeed, he would. The Global Warming crew are always saying that we have only one last chance to avoid armageddon. Every few years, they shift the date of our last chance.

Maybe he and others like him should admit to themselves, that it’s their own mortality that they’re really concerned about.
