Pierce Brosnan

(Sacramento, California) Pierce Brosnan, AKA James Bond, has joined singer Bonnie Raitt, famed tree-sitter Julia "Butterfly" Hill, and his wife, environmental activist Keely Brosnan, in advocating more controls on logging in California. According to the actor (cue the orchestra),

"Along our coastlines, deep in the valleys, atop the mountains and in the forests, old growth trees are a living symbol of California's natural, historical, cultural heritage."

This is all fine, but I do have one question. Isn't Brosnan an Irishman who proudly calls Ireland his home? If so, the environmentalists are importing a celebrity tree-hugger which would hardly seem to be necessary. There is no shortage of celebrities nor tree-huggers in California.
