Harrison Ford has blasted US President Donald Trump for attacking science and supporting fossil fuels

Harrison Ford has blasted US President Donald Trump for attacking science and supporting fossil fuels.

The 83-year-old actor is petrified by the 79-year-old Republican Commander-in-Chief's climate policy.

The Indiana Jones star - a longtime environmental advocate - told The Guardian: "[Donald Trump] doesn’t have any policies, he has whims. It scares the s*** out of me.

"The ignorance, the hubris, the lies, the perfidy. [Trump] knows better, but he’s an instrument of the status quo, and he’s making money, hand over fist, while the world goes to hell in a handbasket.

"It’s unbelievable. I don’t know of a greater criminal in history."

President Trump began his second term in office in January, and he has already cut funding for clean energy projects, encouraged the use of fossil fuels, fired hundreds of scientists while deleting their work, and banned his government from mentioning "climate change" and "emissions".

He has also shared his dislike for wind turbines, which Harrison said was because "he has just not seen a gold one".
