Robert Redford Bashes Al Gore as Greedy Opportunist
NewsBusters ^ | 11/22/07 | Noel Sheppard

As irrefutable evidence mounts that Nobel Laureate Al Gore's climate alarmism is about nothing other than lining his supposedly green pockets with green currency, manmade global warming skeptics around the world wonder when the former vice president's house of cards will collapse.

Without question, if Gore were to lose the support of almost universally adoring Hollywoodans, the scam would implode quicker than a Democrat demanding a recount after losing a close election.

As such, the following comments by actor and environmentalist Robert Redford, reported by the New Statesman last week, should bring hope to folks not buying the snake oil Gore is selling (emphasis added, h/t NB reader Lee):

Redford was an early convert to the environmental movement, and talks proudly of having campaigned on it since 1969. "It was not a happy easy time, because those were the days that the oil and gas companies pretty much controlled the show on propaganda. Anyone speaking about solar energy would be smashed down as being a radical, a tree-hugger and granola-cruncher or what have you."

He is notably cynical, however, about Al Gore's recent award of a Nobel Peace Prize. "He's making a lot of money, he's having a belle époque, a heroic moment," he says.

“Interesting about the coat, but then again, I’ve never seen a walrus wearing one either.”

“Hey, I know he and Tipper were the inspiration for “Love Story”. I wonder if Gore was also the guy the Beatle’s sang about? (”I am the Walrus”)”

That’s a good point I’d forgotten about. Thanks for the memory jog.

But I find it tough to look at Redford these days. The plastic surgery is over the top, imo.

I have no idea what he looks like today.

And no desire to know. Please, no pictures.

LOL, this is the second time in the past week somebody “replied” to an ancient post of mine. The last one was to a post from 4 years ago. At least your reply was to a post from only a year-and-a-half ago. I admit to being perplexed about how that happens.
