Robert Redford Calls for Reversal of Climate 'Damage' Caused by Trump
newsbusters.org ^ | 11/8/2019 | Randy Hall

Posted on 11/10/2019 9:01:21 AM PST by rktman

Well-known climate alarmist and retired actor/director Robert Redford continued his assault on President Trump on Friday by calling the GOP official “one unqualified authoritarian” whose “depraved indifference to the climate crisis” does not define “Americans' commitments or the character of our nation.”

“The clock is ticking so loudly” that “the rest of the world can hear it,” he stated. “With enough outrage, enough action and enough voices rising together, we just might have a chance to compel a reversal of this nonsense.”

His opinion article was posted on CNN's website, where Redford claimed that "millions" of people were "shocked" by Trump's "short-sighted foolishness" in pulling America out of the Paris climate agreement.

The actor noted that the President’s choice to make that change on the first day available under U.N. rules “simply reveals his immoral dedication to isolating us from the world community by willfully ignoring the biggest, most urgent threat facing human civilization.”

The activist held on to the hope that a new president in 2020 could make his "first order of business" a re-entry into the climate change accord.

Redford added that “we shouldn't even be facing this horrible reality.”

In contrast to Trump, Redford had high praise for cities like Salt Lake City, Utah that have tried become "100 percent powered by renewable energy,” saying they reflect, "hundreds of mayors and governors who have made transitioning to clean energy over the next 20 years their priority.”

As you might expect, Redford added a caveat to his victory lap: “I only wish it were enough” to solve the global situation.

“I'm not sure if [my proposal] will work,” the liberal activist stated, “but I know without question that we will all suffer if we don't try.”

The direction comes from the deep state.

Hollywood is handed a script.

Robert Redford reads his line.

How about last year when the multiple felon who is above the law Hillary Clinton and John Lurch Kerry went to a wedding of a daughter of the biggest polluter in India, Mukesh Ambani? The media totally ignored it. She went there because the guy, Mukesh Ambani, is a huge Clinton foundation donor.

He owns Reliance Industries Limited which pollutes the hell out of India. Any protests about that from Hollyweird? I don’t see Trump hanging around and dancing with these guys.

I told that to a Climate Crusader and their response was that it’s the American Corporations over seas that are causing the Climate Crisis. Oh, ok then.

Right on. I’ll just write a check to any one of Redford’s “charities” and the “problem” will go away.

Stand outside there Bobby and yell at the sky. That’ll work just as well as King Canute trying to order back the incoming tide.

Robert Redford may have played Sundance, but in old age has turned into Butch - he looks like an old lesbian.
