Telegraph: Robert Redford, the Hollywood star and long-time environmentalist, has accused Republicans of "living in the 1950s" with their approach to their environment. The Oscar-winner took particular aim at Mitch McConnell, the Republican leader in the Senate, who has been a champion of the coal industry. "He represents the polluters' interest because he is living in the 1950s," Redford told Variety. He added that the bespectacled 72-year-old senator "looks like he just slid out from under a rock"....
