THE shocking images of oil-covered wildlife and ruined beaches across the Gulf of Mexico have horrified millions.
But passionate green campaigner Sir Paul McCartney believes the environmental disaster may have a silver lining, with the search for clean, renewable energy now being pushed forward.
The Beatles legend said: "Sadly we need disasters like this to show people. Some people don't believe in climate warming - like those who don't believe there was a Holocaust."

Amazing! He actually likens those who deny global warming to Holocaust deniers.

this just pains me to no end. I have been in love with this man since I was a little kid and it's so depressing to hear him say such stupid things. A few years ago in an interview he said he himself had no more value than a fish. It was at this point that I realized artistic talent/genius does not equal intelligence, common sense or wisdom.
How I wish he would STFU and sing!

What is it about Paul McCartney since Obama became president? I don’t ever remember him being so outspoken and so obnoxious in the past...

"...(H)e’s right to have a go at us for polluting his country" You polluted our country? I had no idea, Sir Paul... Are you referring to all our your mansions and the occaisions when you fly around on a private jet? Really, Paul, we don't hold that against you...
As for BP, you Brits are minority shareholders in that particular company. US stockholders own 40% of it. The rest of the World owns a fair bit, too. BP is about as British as Egg Fu Yung.

White guilt combined with senility.
