Scam Types dot Com

Renowned Hollywood actor Robert Redford appears to be less confused about the global warming scam than Time magazine -

(Thanks to David for finding this cover).

Redford would also seem to be less than impressed by Al Gore’s Nobel Prize for his work on global warming, or the fact that he is earning a considerable amount of money his association with the scam, as evidenced by comments reported by the New Statesman last week -

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 poque, a heroic moment,” he says.

“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, while Redford has been out there, a grizzled loner, bearing the jibes and right-wing clobbering before the environmental cause was fashionable.

Asked why he thinks Gore is not going back into politics, he says: “What’s most important - to be a hero to your country and go save it . . . or do you want to be happy and rich and be a hero and not get into the political scene?”

One wonders how much longer this global warming debacle will continue if current and former A-listers continue to be so vocal in their opposition to Al Gore’s misrepresentation of the ‘facts’?’
