In an interview with AFP, actor and comedian Alec Baldwin sounded off on climate change at the United Nations.

Baldwin touted the importance and described those skeptical of the theory to be suffering from “mental illness.”

“There can be no successful climate agreement and no future for our planet without greater protection of the world’s forests, everyone in the room understands this,” Baldwin said in his appearance at the UN.

“And so much of what’s coming on now is something that we have to treat as some kind of mental illness,” he added in his interview with AFP. “I believe the climate change denial is a form of mental illness.”
