Harrison Ford may be Jia’s Ecstatic Sex (2023) UncutHollywood's most entertaining grumpy, old man. His penchant for blunt real talk, especially on topics he cares about, is downright refreshing.
Such was the case on Thursday night when Ford received an award from the environmental non-profit group, Conservation International. The actor used his acceptance speech that night to dish out some pointed criticism of Donald Trump and his misfit team of climate change skeptics.

Today’s greatest threat is not climate change, not pollution, not flood or fire," Ford said (via The Hollywood Reporter). "It’s that we’ve got people in charge of important shit who don’t believe in science."
Preach.
Ford went on to bemoan the Trump administration's focus on putting political and economic interests ahead of all other concerns. The problem there, of course, is that real, verifiable science has already made clear that the planet is at risk.
"I’m here tonight for one reason: I care deeply for the natural world. It’s not about me, it’s not about me at all, it’s about this other world we’re going to leave behind," Ford said.
"If we don’t stop the destruction of nature, nothing else will matter. Jobs won’t matter, our economies won’t matter, our freedoms and ethics won’t matter, our children’s education and potential won’t matter, peace, prosperity. If we end the ability of a healthy natural world to sustain humanity nothing else will matter, simply said."
Ford's "people in charge of important shit who don't believe in science" criticism is especially compelling now, in the face of a federally mandated report released on Friday that confirms what non-Trumpers already knew: climate change is real, and it's primarily the product of human behavior.
It would be funny if this weren't the kind of stuff that spells doom for us all down the road.
Ford currently serves as vice chair on the board of Conservation International, a group he's worked with for decades. The non-profit organization works with conservationists around the world, and in a variety of fields, with the goal of working with businesses and communities to protect nature.
