Neil Young: Forget ISIS, Fight Climate Change Instead
Breitbart's Big Hollywood ^ | October 14, 2014 | Joel B. Pollak

Rock legend Neil Young told radio host Howard Stern on Tuesday that the "free world" ought to fight climate change rather than the Islamic State, or ISIS. Visiting the Howard Stern Show for a long-awaited interview, Young slammed both Democrats and Republicans for ignoring the plight of the planet, suggesting that environmental damage from the "carbon footprint" of the U.S. military was a greater threat than Islamic terror in the Mideast.

The relevant portion of the interview (excerpted by Canada's Sun News) begins at 50:14 in the video below:

(VIDEO-AT-LINK)

YOUNG: The things that we don't know, you know, we can do little things to fight climate change. And yet our army and our armed forces are the biggest CO2 providers into the world, they just...it's amazing. And yet we are fighting what? ISIS...

STERN: What do you think about that?

YOUNG: ...al-Qaeda. And we are fighting these wars against these organizations and their carbon footprint has got to be like 1% of our huge army and our navy and all of this stuff that have with all our big machines. We're doing more damage to the earth with our wars....

Imagine if these people had been around during the Revolution or World War II...

People like them were around during World War II. They were Nazi sympathizers or collaboraters.

Neil Young. The man who has spent too much time lying around in burned out basements.

Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. Crosby served some time, had a liver replacement, Nash wrote a song “military madness,” and now Young who wants to make a lot of money(as if he dores not have enough—and that is fine by me) with his new venture: https://ponomusic.force.com/.
They made some great music, unfortunately they are all a bunch of nutcases, but they don’t mind the money they have made off a country they want to destroy. Where will you go CSN&Y when your dream comes true? Not every talented musician has a brain.

Young is Canadian. That is neither an excuse nor condemnation of Canadians. It may however color his attitudes.

If we don’t do anything about climate change then that’ll be the end of ISIS (eventually). So start a wood fire and do your part.

He’s invested heavily in renewable. He’s only really concerned about losing it.

Well Neil old boy. It’s like this. If ISIS gets their way, your “climate changes” is going to be the least of our problems. Knucklehead.

Maybe he could change his lyrics to say “Desert man”. I’m sure they’d love it around the training camps.

Gaia and her consort Uranus are back in fashion as the gods of the global warming religion. Critical thinking is forbidden.

I remember being young and thinking these guys were so cool, so on top of stuff.

Fortunately I grew up. Young didn't.
