LOS ANGELES: Hollywood star Mark Ruffalo accused US President Barack Obama on Sunday of hypocrisy for allowing fracking and other fossil fuel extraction while presenting himself as a green president. “President Obama, it is it immoral for you to keep drilling in our state lands, in our federal lands, off our federal waters, while at the same time calling yourself a climate change leader,” he said. Ruffalo, 48, recently narrated and produced “Dear President Obama: The Clean Energy Revolution Is Now,” a critical documentary on the outgoing head-of-state’s environmental legacy. “Indigenous people, for the most part, and marginalised communities, are the first communities to get compromised and get taken out by the fossil fuel industry,” she said. “No matter what happens in this election, we need a strong movement to fight the fossil fuel industry and to fight to preserve our planet against climate change,” he said.
