Overview
- Harrison Ford told The Guardian that President Donald Trump’s assault on climate measures “scares the shit out of me” and called him “among the worst criminals in history.”
- Ford made the comments shortly before receiving a conservation leadership award at the Field Museum in Chicago from the E.O. Wilson Foundation.
- Coverage cites the administration’s reported second‑term actions, including rolling back climate and clean‑air rules, halting clean‑energy projects, urging expanded drilling, firing scientists, banning climate‑related terms in government, and exiting the Paris Agreement.
- Ford referenced his evacuation during major Los Angeles wildfires earlier this year and pointed to worsening climate impacts highlighted in recent reporting and studies.
- He expressed confidence that broader adoption of cleaner energy and new technologies can mitigate harm, saying Trump’s fossil‑fuel‑focused vision is losing ground.
