Man, if only President Trump had done something about ‘climate change’ during his previous terms over the last 30 years, eh?
By Sunday, the devastating wildfires across California were only 25 percent contained as the death toll rose to 31 across the state. An estimated 200 people still remain missing, and in response to the disaster, President Donald Trump took the opportunity to blame California’s “gross mismanagement of the forests†for the mass destruction.
Hundreds of structures have been destroyed in the fires; among them is Neil Young’s home. On his website, Young called out Trump for his refusal to believe in climate change.
“California is vulnerable – not because of poor forest management as DT (our so-called president) would have us think. We are vulnerable because of climate change; the extreme weather events and our extended drought is part of it,” Young wrote. “Imagine a leader who defies science, saying these solutions shouldn’t be part of his decision-making on our behalf. Imagine a leader who cares more for his own, convenient option than he does for the people he leads. Imagine an unfit leader. Now imagine a fit one.â€
On one hand, Trump should have not dropped that tweet. There are times when it’s best not to do what he does, don’t send the tweets. Even if he was right.
On the other hand, what, exactly, was Trump supposed to do in the 1 3/4 years he’s been in office? Nothing Obama did during his 8 years in office made a difference, especially since large parts of California have always been dry and windy, making them prone to turning small wildfires in to massive blazes.
I’ll hold off in calling Neil a “so-called” musician. He’s made a lot of records in his life, but, has there really been anything good since the release of Live Rust in 1979, which is one of the best live rock albums ever? I’d put it in the top 10, along with ones like Rush’s Exit…Stage Left, The Band’s Last Waltz, Jimmy Buffett’s Feeding Frenzy, and a few others. Anyhow, Yahoo decides to drop a whopper
Even firefighters are blaming the blaze on climate change. In a press conference, Los Angeles Fire Chief Daryl Osby said, “The fact of the matter is if you look at the state of California, climate challenge is happening statewide … it is going to be here for the foreseeable future.”
And this is why the news is not trusted: Osby didn’t blame it on ‘climate change’, he essentially said it was made worse, because we already know that it was started by downed power transmission lines.
Anyhow, I wonder if Neil realizes how much carbon pollution he’s released through all the years of touring and traveling in fossil fueled vehicles, what gets released from the stadiums he’s played and the people coming to see him in fossil fueled vehicles, and so forth.
always loved his music, but when he opens his mouth about politics pure stupidity comes out.
as for the fire chief, what do you expect. he wants to keep his job so he will comply with commisar brown’s stupid edicts. climate change is happening in california? it’s only happening in california? these people have been completely brainwashed.
Movie stars and singers should just shut up, or else go into politics. Of course they have a right to speak out, but then the rest of us have the right to stop watching their movies and buying their songs.
Star wars went full SJW and the result is devastating because they alienated half their core fans. It was no where more evident then in a certain scene where the entire bridge crew was women, the boss was a purple haired gay and the only man on the bridge was the bad guy.
Sure I defend their right to do whatever they want. But when they pay the price at the box office and then literally start calling their fans whiny crybabies and spoiled kids for not showing up….well perhaps you can tone down the sjw and make a good movie and people will show up.
I wonder if Stupid Neil even knows how much the temperature has changed in CA over his lifetime. Does he think a few 10ths of a degree C is something that can be noticed, let alone change the climate?

I wonder if Stupid (celebrity name here) has a clue what the change in rainfall is for CA over their lifetime. Here’s a clue: 0

Wonder if Neil knows that US emissions have gone down….Nah, still Trump’s fault.
