Environmental activists have blasted Harrison Ford for making "unnecessary" trips by air, following revelations he once made a jet journey to buy a cheeseburger.

Hey, but the fool drives a Toyoda Pious!
This is a UK website reporting Harrison. How much you wanna bet we find Al Gore behind them? His hedge fund is in Europe. Basically they want good ol’ Harrison to ante up some and pay for some carbon credits. I mean if he can afford to fly for a cheeseburger he can be the first fool to pay us some blackmail/hush money. Looks like wifey of the website owner is talking head.

Political views
Like his parents, Ford is a lifelong Democrat, and a close friend of former President Bill Clinton.
On September 7, 1995, Ford testified before Congress in support of the Dalai Lama and an independent Tibet. In 2008, he narrated the documentary Dalai Lama Renaissance.
In 2003 he publicly condemned the Iraq War, and called for “regime change” in the United States. He also criticized Hollywood for making violent movies, and called for more gun control in the United States. He opposed the recall of Californian Governor Gray Davis, and stated in an interview that replacing Davis with Arnold Schwarzenegger would be a mistake.
If he’s spending his money, he’s a Republican.
If he’s spending taxpayers’ money, he’s a Democrat.
I mean never, before and after the article inclusive.
Not what I meant.....
I don’t think he sounds like a lib..... don’t know his politics.
I have never heard anything attibuted to him that was way left.... Kinda pay attention because of the aviation thang....
Personally, I hope he takes the bird out everyday and punches holes in the sky... I do it as often as possible.
I don’t know why conservatives even rise to the argument about CO2 emissions.
CO2 is PLANT FOOD; then the plant gives us oxygen. Where is the problem?
If anyone took the time to look up what percentage of the atmosphere is CO2; even if it were doubled it would be insignificant.
My bad! I should have read the entire article before posting. How Harrison Ford gets his hamburgers is no one’s business. He is a private citizen and pays his own way!
WOW!! I did not know that!
Well, he’s bought into the whole eco-worship thing, so he shouldn’t be surprised when he’s called to task on it by his fellow eco-freaks.
I am certain the boy, the hiker, and their families are very very grateful.
Maybe Harrison could pluck Obama out of the White House and rescue us all.
You are beyond evil. :)
Hasn’t he also flown rescue missions?
Oh, a cheeseburger. That’s no problem. I thought he did something Stupid like fly to Denmark for some BS summit.
Tommys, double chili and cheese, with some of those yellow chilis, YAH! One of the (few) things I miss about LA.
He needs to fly out to Catalina for a buffalo burger. The best part of the trip is walking over to the edge of the runway and looking down at all the airplane bones. The runway slopes uphill causing some pilots to set down in the middle of the runway and roll clear off the edge.
RESTAURANTS – No trip to Catalina is complete without having a buffalo burger. The best on the island are at the airport’s small restaurant, called Buffalo Springs Station. Some locals, however, argue it’s just outside of Avalon at the Buffalo Nickle, though it’s tough to pass on the carne asada nachos (it’s at the helicopter landing; there’s a free shuttle service).

The man loves his cheeseburgers. Bunch of god damned hippies got nothing else better to do.
Hope Ford keeps his trust whip and pistol handy.
