Actress and activist Jane Fonda has sounded the climate change alarm bell regarding former President Trump.
“We can't waste another four years,” Fonda said. According to CBS News.
Fonda's comments came during an interview scheduled to air next weekend, according to CBS News. She is a climate change activist who started the “Fire Drill Fridays” protests about five years ago to raise awareness and spur action on climate change. She has been arrested multiple times during demonstrations.
“We cannot allow this to happen in America when the future of the planet is at stake,” Fonda said of Trump's takeover of the White House in November, according to CBS News.
Last month, President Trump said climate change was “not the biggest threat” and that it would lead to “more waterfront property.”
“The biggest threat is not global warming. It's that over the next 400 years, sea levels will rise by an eighth of an inch and we'll have more land by the sea,” Trump said.
Fonda has also been a vocal critic of Trump, accusing him of “colluding with the fossil fuel industry” in a 2019 interview with CNN.
“I don't hate him. I just pity him,” Fonda said of Trump at the time, “and what he's doing to the world … it's just criminal. It's really criminal. It's awful. But there are so many others like us. We can make a difference.”
Fonda also commented on pop star Taylor Swift's recent endorsement of Vice President Harris in an interview with CBS News, saying, “I think it was a really smart choice that she made to do that after the debate.”
“I think it's going to have a big impact,” Fonda added.
Trump campaign spokesman Stephen Chang said in an emailed statement to The Hill that Fonda's “nobody cares what she has to say, and she hasn't been in the headlines since 1970.”
