George Clooney has filmed a foul-mouthed rant at anti-vaxxers, climate change deniers and other groups calling them 'rampant dumbf******'.
Speaking on the Jimmy Kimmel show this Tuesday, the three-time golden globe winner said centuries of knowledge protecting healthcare, security and the planet is being chucked out the window by the groups.
Measles cases jumped to their highest level since the disease was eliminated nationwide this year, as too few people are taking the vaccine to prevent the disease.

In the sketch, the three-time golden globe winner showed a clip of Trump warning that the noise from windmills causes cancer after saying scientific discoveries are under threat from 'dumbf******'
Speaking on the show, George Clooney said: 'Science has given us unprecedented knowledge of the natural world from subatomic particles to the majesty of space.
'Science enables us to cure diseases, to communicate across great distances and even to fly.
'Tragically though the volumes of invaluable knowledge gathered over centuries are now threatened by an epidemic of 'dumbf****** idiots saying dumbf****** things.'
In the sketch, he also showed a clip of Donald Trump saying 'if you have a windmill anywhere near your house they say the noise causes cancer', before responding with the phrase 'wow'.
Mike Pompeo was also quoted by Jimmy Kimmel as saying the melting of sea ice would be very good for trade.
Presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg was forced into a hasty backtrack last week after his team said he supported 'some exceptions' to mandatory vaccines.

The Democratic mayor of South Bend, Indiana, said there could be 'personal or religious exemptions' allowing people to opt out of the injections.
The comments sparked alarm following a surge in measles cases and growing skepticism of vaccinations - fears which have no basis in science.
There have been 681 measles cases across 22 states in the first five months of this year, CNN reported, a rise on the number of cases since it was eliminated in 2000.
Beforehand, the highest number was 667 cases by the end of the year in 2014.
