Neil Young Blames Trump For Losing His House Due To ‘Climate Change’

Man, if only President Trump had done something about ‘climate change’ during his previous terms over the last 30 years, eh?

Neil Young Blames ‘So-Called President’ Donald Trump After Losing His Home in the California Wildfires

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.”

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.
