"Harrison Ford has said that Donald Trump’s assault upon measures to address
the climate crisis “scares the shit out of me” and makes the US president among
the worst criminals in history.
In a blistering attack upon the president, Ford told the Guardian that Trump
“doesn’t have any policies, he has whims. It scares the shit out of me. The
ignorance, the hubris, the lies, the perfidy. [Trump] knows better, but he’s an
instrument of the status quo and he’s making money, hand over fist, while the
world goes to hell in a handbasket.”
The legendary
Star Wars and
Indiana Jones actor, who is 83, added: “It’s
unbelievable. I don’t know of a greater criminal in history.”
In his second term as president, Trump has set about dismantling climate and
clean air protections, halted clean energy projects, urged oil and gas
companies to “drill, baby, drill” for the fossil fuels that are overheating the
planet, fired hundreds of scientists while deleting their work, and even banned
mentions of “climate change” and “emissions” within government.
Trump, who has again withdrawn the US from the Paris climate deal, has also
targeted other countries’ climate policies, pressing the UK to tear down its
“ugly” wind turbines in favor of more oil drilling and demanding that the
European Union roll back its climate rules and purchase more American oil and
gas."
