Actor Redford slams Bush on the environment BERLIN (Reuters) - American actor Robert Redford has called U.S. President George W. Bush "ignorant" on the environment and has urged other nations to keep pressure on the United States at a global climate conference next week. Redford, who has become an active environmentalist aside from his acting and directing, told the German weekly magazine Stern that Bush was oblivious to the extent the United States squandered natural resources compared to other countries. "Bush doesn't have a clue," Redford said, adding that Bush was unaware "we are all living in a global village". Redford said he felt the president relied too much on advisers who joined his administration from industry and military backgrounds. "They are blind and deaf to the changes over the last 40 years," he said. "It's a tragedy because we could really learn a lot from other countries." Climate talks start in Bonn on July 16. Delegates will discuss how to proceed after the United States rejected the Kyoto agreement on reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
