Overview
- Harrison Ford said President Trump’s assault on climate policy “scares the shit out of me” and called him among the worst criminals in history.
- Ford accused Trump of ignorance, hubris, lies and “perfidy,” saying the president acts on whims and profits while “the world goes to hell in a handbasket.”
- The reporting recaps second‑term actions including rolling back climate and clean‑air protections, halting clean‑energy projects, urging more drilling, firing scientists, restricting climate terminology in government and exiting the Paris agreement.
- Ford linked his remarks to real‑world impacts, citing his evacuation from Los Angeles wildfires and a Category 5 hurricane near Jamaica as evidence of a worsening crisis.
- The Guardian interview was rapidly amplified by Variety, Rolling Stone, The Hollywood Reporter and others, and The Daily Beast quoted a White House spokesperson dismissing his comments, with no ensuing policy changes reported.
