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

Posted on 10/14/2014 8:22:20 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

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....

Why does Young think this is a good idea? Because the crazy muslims will force everyone back into a stone age lifestyle? What makes him think the muzzies will let him live as he pleases, because he’s famous? I forget, where did young get his scientific degree? Or perhaps he feels his vast experience with pharmaceuticals give his opinions relevance.

They were around during WWII. We called them Nazi sympathizers.

Don’t forget to add bob seeger to that list since he feels that it is REAL important to address climate change/disruption/discombobulation on his latest effort/album or cd or whatever it is today. Oh, and gun violence and debt too. Fookin’ idjits!

Neil Young’s Electric Car Breaks Down, Left ‘Helpless’ on California Highway

http://freebeacon.com/national-security/neil-youngs-electric-car-breaks-down-left-helpless-on-california-highway/

Neil Young, a high-profile proponent of cars powered by alternative fuels, was recently stranded on the highway when his own $1 million biomass-powered hybrid car broke down.

California highway patrol officers found the Canadian rocker stranded on the side of a road near Donner Summit, Calif.

Young was on his way to an environmentalist festival in Canada, according to the Sierra Sun, driving his custom-made hybrid electric 1959 Lincoln Continental.

“The car is touted as the world’s first full-sized luxury series hybrid electric car powered by biomass, according to the LincVolt website,” the Sun reported.

"Yes, the America of today allows idiots like this to survive"

The bastard is a Canadian, IIRC.

Has no business being here sucking up our dollars and badmouthing how the country is run.

Just another entertainment harlot flatulating with his mouth.

The size of their ill-acquired profits is only exceeded by the vacuity of their minds.

He is a good example of the dangerous domestic anti-Americans that helped the Communists conquer VietNam.

He was a moron then — and remains so today.

Just my opinions.

I love Neil’s music from way back, but I think he’s been perpetually stoned since the 70s. The man is just rock solid stupid.

“Well, I hope Neil Young will remember a southern man don’t need him around anyhow”

That's the perfect rejoinder to this article. It was true when Lynyrd Skynyrd wrote it, and it's still true today.

Imagine if these people had been around during WW2

They were - nobody listened to them then either. There's about a million more media outlets now than there were in 1940. Every jacktard moron gets whatever inane blather comes out of his mouth broadcast to the world nowadays.
