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."

Bob, dude... why is that squirrel on your head?
These are the two top scientists of the world, no doubt. There is no agenda here. Just take their word for it. Do not follow the money/power trail because it is a waste of time.
I think he goes to the same hair colorist that Trump goes to AND she is color blind
I think that asshat spent way too much time in the Sun.
Yep we have one planet.
Nancy pelosi once said we have a planet to save but didn’t say which planet.
Redford, the Earth is going to be here long after us little pissant humans are extinct.
Yep...I was skeptical about the whole climate change thing until these two intellectual heavyweights weighed in on the topic. I find it amazing that people with at least one neuron still firing put any credence in what Hollywood has to say about anything.
Bruce Jenner meets Kim Il-jung.
What is he going to fix it at?
Wasn’t he one of the buffoons who said we only have 10 years to save the earth????
In 1990.....
25 years ago..
Robert Redford is a play actor who played make-believe most of his adult life.
I guess the make-believe anthropogenic climate change thing is right up his alley.
God help us.
We will not survive those who prop up and patronize these worthless creatures.
We are outnumbered.
Didn’t hitler say something like already having the kids.
Hasn’t every one of these conferences been our “last chance”?
> What is he going to fix it at?
Press for a world governing body that will tax you into penury and leave you shivering in the cold and dark, thereby considerably shortening your miserable life span so they can get the world population down to more “manageable” numbers.
In short, more for them, less for you.
Holy carp! That's it? All we have to do is make an agreement in the UN and the temperature in the entire world will only go up by precisely 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit? WOW!
Politicians and actors (sigh!) - what can't they do?
Well old Bobby should start by closing down his ski resort, he could return the area to it’s pristine beauty, beside think of all of the CO2 emissions that would be prevented.
Oh yeah Bob, while your at it you should lower your carbon footprint by moving into the valley, they have a nice bus & rail system, you wouldn’t even need a car, oh yeah skip the airplane flights big carbon footprint Bob and we just know you aren’t a hypocrite right Bob.
Robert Redford...worthless actor,worthless scientist,worthless generally.
