quote:

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Actor Harrison Ford offered an emphatic plea on Tuesday for protecting the world's oceans, calling out President Donald Trump and others who "deny or denigrate science."


quote:

"Around the world, elements of leadership — including in my own country — to preserve their state and the status quo, deny or denigrate science," Ford said. "They are on the wrong side of history."


quote:

Trump often conflates cold spells and other incidents of weather with climate, which is long-term. Ford has long supported conservation efforts. Before coming out on stage, his Emirati hosts played a video of him narrating a piece for Conservation International on the importance of protecting the ocean called "Nature is Speaking." "One way or another, everything living thing here needs me," Ford growls in the video. "I'm the source. I'm what they crawled out of." In his address, Ford called on governments and officials to rely on "sound science" to shape their policy. "We are faced (with), what I believe, is the greatest moral crisis of our time," Ford said. "That those least responsible for nature's destruction will suffer the greatest consequences." He added: "We need nature now more than ever because nature doesn't need people, people need nature."

Giving an environmental speech in the oil capital of the world. Gotta love it.


I'd love to know his carbon footprint from all the planes he's crashed.

You're lucky Burt Reynolds turned down the lead role in Star Wars, you stupid bitch, or else you'd still be building cabinets.

Get back to us when he takes the stage to speak out against leftists for "denigrating science" with their declaration of 59 (or whatever) genders.

I haven’t heard that, “wrong side of history” line trotted out in a long time. At least not since history decided who is the 45th President.

I like me some Harrison Ford in movies. However. A quick perusal of his bio shows me he has no college degree and what little he did study was in Philosophy.

Therefore, my credentials > his so I've no idea why anyone gives a rat's frick what he says.

A parsec is a unit of distance, not time dickwad. Let's not lecture Trump on science denigration.

In all seriousness who gives a frick what Harrison Ford thinks about anything? Also he’s a shitty actor and I never understood what made him a big box office draw.

How much you wanna bet someone is about to publish pictures of him in black face or audio of him saying the n-word?

He's free to provide an evidence based plan to alter the temperature of the planet.

Otherwise, it's just moral grandstanding to push the same old progressive policies in the name of saving the Earth.
