US actor-cum-producer, Mark Ruffalo, has said that the world should consider President Donald Trump a “public enemy number one” for his stance on climate change.
Before now, there’s been heated criticism against Trump for his continued denial of the urgency of climate change in the US, having made many claims countering widely held opinions on the matter.
Speaking with Sky News, Ruffalo faulted Trump’s climate change stance while making an analogy with ‘Dark Waters’, his 2019 legal thriller movie, which addressed chemical pollution.
‘Dark Waters’ detailed how a company repeatedly denied dispelling toxic waste that contaminated natural environments and inhabitants for decades in the pollution that later crossed the world.
According to Ruffalo, who made reference to PFOA, an industrial pollutant, more action hasn’t been taken to protect people from toxic waste — despite efforts from his likes in the industry.
“The world should consider my president as public enemy number one at this point. What we do in the next 10 years will be crucial to the future of the planet. And this is only going to become more evident,” he said.
