Ford rarely AFIAK speaks about politics or beliefs. He's super private in that way. So for him to open his mouth about this is actually pretty troubling.

    Oh God wait till he realizes how screwed we are from PFAS and microplastics

    When he learns actually have the tech to solve those problems ( we do ) but just we fired everyone working on it ( we did ) his alarm level should adjust accordingly

    Two people so far with the galaxy brained take of "How dare a nearly universally popular celebrity speak out about the climate collapse that threatens billions"

    I honestly wonder how some people manage to walk around with how busy they are self sabotaging.

    I'm sorry who the fuck cares what Han Solo says about climate change????

    Edit: To those downvoting I ask you - are there better people to be promoting for this topic than some washed actor? Harrison Ford is great I'm sure but he's just some fuckin rich dude. Why not push the words of international authoritative voices instead?

    Actor says the same thing climate scientists have been saying for decades

    "why should I listen to this nobody that was in several globally famous movies that are still popular to this day?"

    I just dont know why him saying something should sway me. What about him gives him any authority to convince people the experts already haven't?

    If the headline was from a scientist, do you think it would have made it to as many feeds? Why are we discussing this right now?

    Do you actually think this is going to move the needle on the climate change conversation at all? Like honestly?

    Yes and yes. Would you please answer my questions because it seems like you don't understand my point.

    It might matter from the perspective of who Trump pays attention to. There are a lot of celebrities that he feels like he needs to respond to, whether it's Rosie O'Donnell, Taylor Swift, etc. He pays attention to them much more than he pays attention to international authoritative voices, and I expect that Han Solo recognizes this too.

    One of the greatest criminals because of those 2 things? Are you fucking serious? Not because of a professional kiddy fuck ring, not because of how peoples live get destroyed because of him, not because....?
