Harrison Ford took the stage Thursday at the Global Climate Action Summit in San Francisco and told the group to “stop electing leaders who don’t believe in science.”
“If we can’t protect nature, we can’t protect ourselves,” the 76-year-old actor shared with the audience gathered, according to the Los Angeles Times. “For God’s sake, stop electing leaders who don’t believe in science.”
“Or even worse, pretend they don’t believe in science for political self-interest,” he added. “Never forget who you’re fighting for.”

“While you work to meet the challenge of #ClimateChange I beg of you, don’t forget nature. Because today the destruction of nature accounts for more global emissions than all the cars and trucks in the world.” – Harrison Ford, @ConservationOrg Vice Chair #GCAS2018 #StepUp2018 pic.twitter.com/LTn3rhsV0b
