In a post on his website, Young said he hoped the calamitous fires would urged people to take action on the impact of climate change.
“Firefighters have never seen anything like this in their lives. I have heard that said countless times in the past two days, and I have lost my home before to a California fire, now another,” he wrote. “Hopefully we can come together as a people to take climate change on. We have the tools and could do it if we tried. There is no downside.”

What a bunch of maroons.
Native Californians knew not to build their houses in the hills or other areas subject to forest fires. In recent years that wisdom has been lost.
Their are just leaving a flag that says “Look at me, I’m a moron”
“and I have lost my home before to a California fire, now another,””
...Hey Neil. Move!
I feel sorry for their Homeowner Insurance Companies.
Democrat government incompetence deniers.
They are just waving a flag that says “Look at me, I’m a moron”
Agreed, they will never look around themselves and say “what can we do to mitigate these fire conditions before a catastrophe occurs”? It’s always blame someone else, and now that someone else is Trump.
If “climate change” is causing more forest fires, or making forest fires worse, why are there not more or more intense forest fires in other places around the United States and other parts of the world? Why is California always hit so hard? A critically thinking, rational person would come to the conclusion that the forest fire problem sits with California.
Go back to Canada, Neil.
If they would stop draining the rivers to water lawns in SF they wouldn’t have this problem. Make SF desalinate.
I don’t want to google it but, Neil Young is probably blaming Trump.
Houses can be constructed to withstand these firestorms. Clear spaces with no combustibles within a certain distance. The roof in our current house is concrete tile. Yet, there are still a lot of homes in the Reno area with cedar shingle roofs. Hello..................
“There is no downside.”
Every 10 years or so the Malibu area gets a big wildfire. This one has been worse than most, but it’s not the first by any means.
There are ways to build homes in fire zones that have a good chance of surviving wildfires, and a lot these wealthy entertainers have the means to pay for it. It’s not required by the building code so this bunch may not have done so.
>>>and I have lost my home before to a California fire, now another<<<
Was Climate Change denier (which he isn’t BTW, he only questions the impact of Man on the Climate) Donald Trump the POTUS when Neil lost his first House?
I would bet that not a single one of them had any insurance.......................
