Ford went on to note that he’s been “preaching this stuff” about climate change and the increase in climate-related disasters “for 30 years.” He continued, “Everything we’ve said about climate change has come true. Why is that not sufficient that it alarms people that they change behaviors? Because of the entrenched status quo.”
“I’m confident we can mitigate against [climate change], that we can buy time to change behaviors, to create new technologies, to concentrate more fully on implementation of those policies (...) But we have to develop the political will and intellectual sophistication to realize that we human beings are capable of change. We are incredibly adaptive, we are incredibly inventive. If we concentrate on a problem, we can fix it most times.”

Harrison Ford Slams Donald Trump’s “Ignorance” About Climate Change: “Everything He Says Is a Lie”
”[Trump] doesn’t have any policies, he has whims. (...) 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 hand basket. It’s unbelievable. I don’t know of a greater criminal in history.”

Oh, and just so it’s clear: the #KeystoneXL revival plan isn’t Carney’s idea, it’s Trump’s:

The United Nations warned Wednesday that CO2 levels in the atmosphere saw their biggest annual jump on record in 2024, driven by fossil fuel emissions, wildfires and weakening natural absorption by land and oceans. The findings come ahead of November’s COP30 climate summit in Brazil, with scientists warning of a “vicious cycle” of feedback effects that could push the planet past critical tipping points.

Rampant #wildfires in #Canada & around the world drove a jump in global greenhouse gas emissions, with #ClimateChange "fanning the flames"

'Several factors contributed to the leap in CO2, including another year of unrelenting fossil fuel burning despite a pledge by the world’s countries in 2023 to "transition away" from coal, oil and gas.'
