NRDC spokesman Robert Redford has disconnected view of Gulf oil rig explosion and sports

"It was at a 2003 meeting of the NRDC board meeting at Sundance that actor and conservationist Robert Redford first devised this new strategy.

• "We have to go to sports," Redford said."

We all want clean air, clean water, and to preserve our environment. We don't need the new political system being promoted by MLB favorite and NRDC trustee Robert Redford, the rest of NRDC, and vast corporate interests.

• An NRDC trader says trillions of dollars will be needed in global warming transition,

Bloomberg, 12/4/09: "Companies need the financial markets to help them drive down their greenhouse gas emissions at a reasonable price, says the NRDC’s Andy Stevenson.

• “There are trillions of dollars needed to make this transition, and companies need the banks,”

• says Stevenson, a former trader for London-based hedge fund firm Brevan Howard Asset Management LLP."

Behind the talk about clean air, children, and helpless animals are business profits and political turnover bigger than most of us could imagine. Baseball players and fans should not exploited to advance this movement.

• 6/22, Robert Redford said on CNN this week that problems such as the Gulf oil spill stem from Dick Cheney setting up the MMS, the oil oversight bureau.Reporters checked into personnel at MMS and as it happens not one involved in BP oversight was appointed by the Bush administration, most were decades long federal employees although one in question was promoted during the Bush years.

Bush and Cheney deserve blame for many things, but problems will never be looked into and solved if you use them as a blanket excuse for everything. Have Redford and the NRDC demanded Obama return money oil companies gave him? No, so they have no credibility on this topic.

• MLB has given Robert Redford and NRDC special access to promote his views about the environment at least some of which are not accurate.
• MLB co-sponsored a Redford video played to fans in Fenway Park about his views on the environment (4/21/2008 NYDN article).
• Redford and NRDC ran a blaring video at Yankee Stadium during the 2009 playoffs according to a fan:

10/19/09, "Last night I was at Yankee Stadium watching the Yanks exciting extra-inning playoff win. Along with 50,000 other shivering fans we had to endure a scoreboard message from Robert Redford sponsored by the National Resources Defense Council demanding that we lower our standard of living to stop global warming.

• The volume was turned on so loud that Redford's voice could be heard above the howling wind and freezing rain of a mid- October evening in New York City. "...

NRDC's mission statement says global warming is political, that environmental injustice is unfairly

• "borne by people of color and others who face social and economic inequalities." They are about forcing the transfer of money from industrial nations (the bad guys) to unknown and unaccountable persons in the third world and/or their helpers in the endless "climate" industry (including groups like the WWF which displace masses of indigenous people and land).

Brutal equatorial dictators and their enablers have been cashing in on do-gooder instincts of Americans for many years. Because of global warming (which does not exist), we are told we're still bad and must give billions more every year. But the climate profiteers are good, trust them. The NRDC also promotes carbon trading programs in states and regions.

• 4/21/08, NY Daily News: "A public service video, narrated by Redford and co-sponsored by MLB, will be shown."...

As referenced above, fans are a captive audience to be convinced of a political theory involving the transfer of trillions of dollars. (One can read about NRDC's and Redford's activities).

• In NRDC and Redford's view, clean air and water are only possible by submitting to the global climate industry, already infested with organized crime, and which rests on the false assumption that US citizens are climate criminals

responsible for sinking islands in the Indian Ocean for which we must pay billions in perpetuity.

• Redford spoke to the George Soros climate pressure group Ceres in April 2009

and reportedly said one of the 3 reasons Al Gore's 2006 movie was a turning point was:

• "Wall Street realized there was money to be made in 'going green.'"

• Redford may know about Wall Street, but his recent CNN interview shows lack of command of other facts of life on planet earth. ****

11/1/05: "Among other things, the NRDC is a boutique law firm of lawyers who practice only environmental law....

• In fact, in its 35 year history, the NRDC has surpassed all other political action, citizens', and trade groups in "pro-environment" victories and accomplishments -- many of them
• through litigation."...***

As a point of interest, The NYDN writer enthuses about

• sports as laboratories for 'eco-ignorant masses':

"It is an ecological horror show, and the one good thing that can be said about our favorite pastimes is that these

• sports are becoming fresh laboratories for reform. People in high and visible places

• from Robert Redford to Bud Selig -

have come to understand that America's games can spur change among corporate partners and even among

• the eco-ignorant masses."...
