How can a person who owns private planes, presumably so he doesn’t need to hobnob with the peasantry (that’s us!), have the gall to tell the rest of us to restrict our energy usage/carbon/whatever? This makes me angry: I’m supposed to give up seeing my kids to assuage the Climate Gods, but Saint Harrison is exempt because, you know, he’s sooooo important? Narcissistic hypocrite.

Hey Ford . . .
Your houses, garages, sheds, hangers have destroyed native F & F.
Your carbon-footprint is grossly above the average Worldwide.
Your hypocrisy is stunning.

There is an excellent pdf report by an independent UK organization detailing what climate Extinction stand for and there end game.

Some people may die in pursuit of our cause, in in their manifesto. Once again the individuals at the top have a far reaching agenda, not known to the people doing the protesting.
I have don’t have immediate access to the link, or time to find it again. It was issued this year.
Regards.

Harrison has that crazed look in his eyes.Some of these actors are so strange in how they and the rest of their left wing liberal cronies have this ‘doom and gloom’ mentality of the world environment.They’re so brainwashed by Gore the Bore and the left wing advocate’s doomsday scenario saying it’s man’s fault with no basis in fact.It’s all so irrational.I just hope and pray our young generation today can see thru these wackos and not be misled by them and all the fake news out there about this subject.These celebrities should just stick to their day jobs and stay out of politics.

It is an act.
he has none of that look in his eye whilst tooling around his airport admiring and inspecting his fleet of aircraft, or driving around in one of his ancient gas guzzler cars.

How much credence is owed to a character who makes a handsome living from pretending to be someone else?

When the CAGW hoax is soon tossed on the trash heap of failed ideas, will these virtue-signaling Leftists who suggested the world waste $100’s of TRILLIONs on this hoax apologize for almost ruining the world economy and killing millions?

The hypocrisy of these Leftists who live in numerous 20,000+ square ft homes around the world with heated pools, tennis courts and well watered gardens, fly their private jets, cruise in their 100+ ft yachts, and drive their 6-Liter gas guzzling sports cars is astounding…

Will these same hypocritical Leftists vent their righteous indignation towards the anti-free-market and Big Government tyrants that perpetuated this CAGW hoax for 40+ years to obtain their political agendas of: destroying free-market economies, stealing $100’s of trillions from taxpayers, and controlling every aspect of our lives through superfluous CO2 rules, regulations, mandates and massive increases in bureaucracies?

It’ll be very interesting to hear the Leftists’ excuses to justify getting everything so wrong for so long…

Will they learn any lessons from the CAGW hoax?

Well, actually, they will.

When Komrad Cortez comes knocking on their door to confiscate all their worldly good ‘for the common cause of equal wealth distribution you understand’.

Unless, of course, she likes Harrison’s movies, then he might be allowed to keep it all and join the ranks of the propaganda elite.

Of course no socialist actually believes it will be THEIR wealth that will be distributed equally, just everyone elses.

He’s a pilot with small planes. Crashed one (again) recently.

Old men and old planes … predictable result.

Ok. I watched most of it. Unmitigated drivel. 30 minutes I could change his mind.

Still look like Gandalf.

It was OK when Ford, as Indian Jones, was chewing up the scenery.
But as an advocate on a passionate spiel.
Too much, over the top, whatever.

Over the years Scientology has attracted more than its fair share of celebrities, the Climate Cult is now a rival and it is now a cult — a millenarian sect or cult — as evidenced by Ford’s portentious rhetorical intensity.

Hollywood is fiction. The reality is that the climate change we have been experiencing is caused by the sun and the oceans over which mankind has no control. There is no real evidence that CO2 has any effect on climate and there is plenty of scientific rationale to support the idea that the climate sensitivity of CO2 is zero. So in the real world there is nothing that mankind to alter how Mother Nature is graduallying altering the Earth’s climate as Mother Nature has been doing for eons.

The AGW conjecture depends upon the existence of radiant greenhouse effect caused by trace gases with LWIR absorption bands. Such a radiant greenhouse effect has not been observed in a real greenhouse, in the earth’s atmosphere or anywhere else in the solar system. The radiant greenhouse effect is science fiction do hence The AGW conjecture is science fiction. So any movie that assumes AGW to be reality is really a work of science fiction and should not be taken seriously.

I’m not very comfortable that Mr. Ford continues to fly with a valid medical even after publicly demonstrating such a blatant detachment and departure from reality.

The guide for aviation medical examiners is clear about disqualifying conditions, which includes, among other problematic issues, “Personality disorder that is severe enough to have repeatedly manifested itself by overt acts.” I don’t wish such an outcome on anyone trying to renew their medical certificate, but … wow.

Hollywood actors promoting this drivel is just another case of climate change being shoehorned into everything these days. Its everywhere. One of my main fields of study are the world’s lighthouses, and there is a site that lists each nation’s lighthouses, their current condition, and if you can get to them. However, the point I want to make is that even climate alarmism has found its way into the listings, as some of the descriptions of the lighthouses state that they are endangered by rising seal level. This makes my blood go cold. The page for the Maldives listings makes a huge emphasis on this rising sea levels crap. No celebrity or so called child prophets are going to change my mind about it. My local paper once had an article stating that my hometown is one of those that will be affected by rising sea levels, and that a “climate research group has found overwhelming evidence that will convince all the deniers that climate change is definitely real and a threat.” This was in 2016, we are in 2019, and there is still a large group of people who don’t fall for it.

Stony 1. I cannot agree with his saying that Europe is gone, re. the Islamic migration.

As in the UK, they are still a noisy minority of the total population, and just like the pogroms against the Jews, sooner or later they will be persecuted by a very angry majority.

Its not a very nice World out there, nasty things do and will happen.

Once their useless government falls and their military roll, the Swedes will quickly restore order.
Meantime they stay in their barracks, but eventually either the Government issues orders or their Commanders will.
With Hand Grenades being a regularly used street weapon, it can’t be much longer.
The vocal ‘liberals’ might want to hand the country over to the ‘guests’ , but the majority and the ones with the ‘make big bangs’ stuff aren’t.
It’s not going to be pretty or bloodless though and most of Europe is going down the same track

An existential crisis is the 1st Panzer Division advancing across Belgium and France, and us having to decide what we are going to do about it! We chose to fight to the death!

The trouble is the current generation appear to think this was all just a make believe Hollywood film, all the things they believe are make believe.

Speaking of make believe…have you noticed how TV commercials (even on channels that cater to those of us who prefer entertainment that is less than frenetic) almost always show things that are impossible? They look realistic, sure, but that just demonstrates how far the CGI trade has come.

I keep wondering when they will come out with an app or channel that will allow the viewer to play a movie with their own choice of actors. It can’t be that far off.

My father taught theater and speech. He produced many, many plays during his teaching career. He told me “Do not go into show biz. It is full of charlatans and hucksters, liars, looters, and outright thieves.”

So I went a completely different way, and found that the only time to pay attention to something these useless jerks say is when they’re speaking lines written for them. Otherwise, they are parroting whatever the popular meme may be, just to get attention.

Ignore Ford., da Caprio (whatever his name is) and that loud-mouthed twit Ahnald. They are idiots, not much more.

Within 20 years, computer graphics are going to be able to create actors so lifelike that you won’t be able to tell them from the real thing.

His timing is poor. “All those moments will be lost, like tears in the rain”

In 1982 he starred alongside Rutger Hauer, who died last week, in Blade Runner.

Poetically, for the timing of Hauer’s death, the movie was set in 2019, a dystopian world of catastrophic climate change. Ford should be able to recognise a failed prediction when he sees one.

Then that fool Ridley “even the Vatican agrees we must have been engineered by aliens” Scott did a remake with Los Angeles surrounded by a hundreds-of-feet-high seawall because, you know, by 2049 we’ll need it.

Sara

Seawall? Wait – isn’t that the theme in ‘Soylent Green’ and ‘Escape from L.A.’? Cities walled off from their surroundings become so separated from the real world that (as in ‘Logan’s Run’) the world outside is EeeeewWWWW!!!! too real to deal with?

Did Aldous Huxley come up with that idea first in ‘Brave New World’ or was it Heinlein in in his ‘Revolt in 2000′? Lawsie, did I read too much sci-fi when I was 12, or what?’

Is that common thread of dystopia, as opposed to Utopia, the driving force behind these idiotic things people are saying?

So, that’s Harrison Ford…. When I first saw his wild, demented eyes, it looked like Charles Manson risen from the grave.

If you believe this then you are fine with the movie premise of the Aztecs or Mayans building a gold depository in caverns mined in solid granite in the Black Hills with no surface trace of the excavation project.

Secondly, I think his pilots license needs to be reviewed before he takes out motorists on the highways.
