Actor and environmental alarmist Harrison Ford was seen deplaning from a private jet Monday with his wife Calista Flockhart, Breitbart reported. Ford has called climate change the "greatest moral crisis of our time" and railed against those who deny the threat.
The "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny" actor has been as outspoken about environmental issues as any Hollywood blowhard. Now, he and his wife were seen disembarking from a carbon-belching private plane in another spectacular demonstration of leftist hypocrisy.
Ford famously warned in 2020 that "this sh-- is going to kill us" during a rant on climate change. He also encouraged Greta Thunberg and other young people whom he said have become the "moral army" against it.
Oh look here another Hollywood Elite Hypocrite

Ford is the vice chairman of Conservation International and has lent his voice to narrate several short films for them, including "The Most Critical Action" released in 2020. "Our world is facing huge challenges -- storms, floods, droughts, and fires are destroying our homes," Ford began, his voice gravelly with age and righteous outrage.
"We have people in leadership positions who refuse to accept objective science. They’re robbing us of the ability to collaborate, to compromise, to move forward," Ford warned.
Apparently, that all went out the window when it came to Ford's choice of transportation this week. However, this is more than a single oversight in an otherwise environmentally virtuous life.
The online aviation publication Simple Flying featured Ford and his collection of aircraft, which he enjoys piloting himself. "He owns an impressive range of aircraft in his collection, with vintage aircraft, a helicopter, private jets and general aviation aircraft, he can certainly take his pick when he wants to fly," the publication notes.
Ford has eight aircraft, including a World War II plane, a helicopter, and his Cessna Citation Sovereign 680 twin-engine private airplane. It's unclear if the plane spotted Tuesday is one in his collection.
Still, the fact that Ford would ever fly private over commercial is bad news for the climate concerned. According to a report by the Transport & Environment organization, "private jets are 5 to 14 times more polluting than commercial planes (per passenger), and 50 times more polluting than trains."
While Ford is in hysterics with his Chicken Little warnings in these voiceovers, he's living his life as if none of it matters. He's not alone in this hypocrisy, but that doesn't make it any better.
The reality is that either Ford doesn't believe the nonsense he's spewing, or he's another elitist who wants rules for others but not himself. Either way, he has humiliated himself and his family with this flagrant disregard for the very cause he claims to be so passionate about.
