Redford for some unknown reason thinks Obama has “courage of his convictions.”

Via CBS News:

Nearly five months after President Obama doubled down on his commitment to addressing climate change during his first second term State of the Union address, the actor and environmentalist Robert Redford is calling on the president to take more conclusive action, unleashing an ad blitz challenging Mr. Obama to act on the “courage of his convictions” and exercise his presidential authority.

Throughout this week, Redford, in conjunction with the National Resources Defense Council, will air a series of ads in the DC market on network and cable channels and online, calling on action from the White House. According to a spokesman from NRDC, spending on the ads is in the six figure range. Redford also published an op-ed Tuesday in USA Today arguing that “natural disasters are not odd coincidences” and that the president should use the power of his office to act in a meaningful way.

“Today, we can no longer put off a presidential response to the increasing chaos in our climate. Our weather is out of whack. Climate change is happening, and fast,” Redford wrote. “Clearly, the president understands the climate issue. But he owes more to future generations than his intellectual acknowledgement about the hardships they will face if nothing is done to address it. He owes them action.”
