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.

Scratch that - - Redford is 71.
Haven't seen the toothy smile in years.
One goof-ball calls another goof-ball a goof-ball, and I’m supposed to get excited????
Mebbe, carbonara? Not that I can talk...but I will. Al's put on a few...
High end entertainment.
LOL
I think he had some kind of eyelift along the way (but didn’t keep it up w/subsequent ‘tweaks.’) The rest IMO is natural aging and sun damage. His skin was lined (oh but it was considered character back in the day) in the early shot; the later one shows jowls sagging and bulbous (natural) aging of the nose and more sun damage. I think what makes him look so old is his lack of expression...like he is deep in thought/worried. Bob...lighten up!!!
I’m sorry, but I agree, I sure hope we don’t see Al Gore running some green party candidate. That 3rd party thing is so contentious, don’t know if our country can handle it. Right now, we need to heal, comfort, unite, be a real “village”.
Barf...
What, me agree with Robert Redford?
This is the cold day that I do...
I'm pretty sure Robert Redford is Manbearpig. I'm super sereal.
Let's face it...Algore can't fit into a Pious, and the gerbils couldn't move one if he were in it, anyway...
Redford is the “boss” only in his ever more stupid dreams (as is more than obvious in his vapid facial exprssions).

“It must have been really hard for Gore to suffer all that [losing the presidential election], so he found another thing to come back with: the environment.
He had a lot of money behind him, because in Clinton’s administration there was a lot of money. With that he was able to build himself a new campaign and pick an issue. And he picked an issue that just happened to arrive at its moment in time.” The less-than-subtle subtext is that Gore is an arriviste...

An arriviste is defined as “a person who has suddenly risen to a higher economic status but has not gained social acceptance of others in that class.” A more modern term for such a person is nouveau riche.
This is NOT a compliment.
Frankly, sounds like Redford is jealous? Redford has not done anything noteworthy in a very long time, and this last movie, is probably his last. What a loser.
someone needs to ask Al Gore if he’s willing to give up everything he owns today, for his cause.
Redford is jealous.
Maybe this is the publicity he wants, to detract from his movie that is the bomb of the year?
The years have not been kind to Redford. Maybe he spent too much time in the sun hugging trees.
Because of global WARMING, silly. You may think it's minus 10 out there, but Algore knows it's REALLY 120 degrees. It's all perception. Plus, all that hot air he's full of keeps him warm whereas we lesser humans have to rely on coats and hats.
