Now, the Indiana Jones actor has made a scathing comment against Donald Trump and the president’s stance on the climate crisis.

He has lent his voice several times to public messages surrounding environmental involvement for the global environmental community, EarthShare.
Moreover, the 83-year-old has even addressed the United Nations’ Climate Action Summit in New York. When it comes to politics, Harriuson Ford is a lifelong Democrat and has shown his support for both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’ presidential campaigns.
Actually, he even worked with an anti-Trump Republican group called The Lincoln Project alongside Star Wars actor Mark Hamill, producing and narrating election adverts against the now-sitting president.
Now, Ford has once again criticized Trump, this time over the president’s climate change policies. Speaking with The Guardian, the actor said, “[Trump] doesn’t have any policies; he has whims. It scares the s**t out of me.”
Harrison Ford has scathing message to Donald Trump
Ford continued, “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. It’s unbelievable. I don’t know of a greater criminal in history.”
On Wednesday was given a conservation leadership award at a ceremony at Chicago’s Field Museum. He continued to claim that everything scientists have said about climate change over the last 30 years has come true.
“Why is it not sufficient that it alarms people that they change behaviors? Because of the entrenched status quo,” Ford continued, saying that Trump is “losing ground because everything he says is a lie.”
Donald Trump recently addressed climate change in his address to the United Nations. The president stated that scientists’ worries are “the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world,” adding a warning that, “If you don’t get away from this green scam, your country is going to fail.”
