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:

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 when they were ten and their dad bought him a wheel barrow so he could learn to walk on his hind legs.
Yes, the America of today allows idiots like this to survive through the money and hard work of others.
Sure wish we could send Neil right into the midst of an ISIS camp for some real education.
In the current social/political climate, there’s no way we could have won World War II.
We would not have had the will to go invade either Japan or Europe to destroy the enemy.
We might have responded to Pearl Harbor with some “proportionate response”, but would not have had the goal of going all the way to Tokyo and defeating the enemy.
We would not have gotten involved in the war in Europe at all, even though Hitler declared war on us. Reason being, since Germany didn’t attack us, current thinking would have been that Germany was not an enemy.
A mind is a terrible thing to waste.
They were fun, weren't they?
Well, maybe not for everyone. But Neil had a good time.
For crying out loud...
What a noodnik. If the killers were beheading him, he would go to his death cursing the capitalism that made him rich.
We would have called them Tories, or 5th Column.
Neil Young is one burned out brainless husk.
There is really no way to fathom such levels of lunacy. Yet, this kind of thinking is so pervasive that simple common sense and reason seem so unique when it’s encountered.
Why do we give a platform to aging rock singers, who probably have minds numbed and wasted by years of drug use????
In 6 months, will he change his tune to “fight Ebola” when we have a million cases and hospitals are overwhelmed and no health care workers?
What a moron
CO2 is ALL thhat Mrs Young’s lil boy Neil has produced for the last thirty years..
“Well, I hope Neil Young will remember
a southern man don’t need him around anyhow”
Lynyrd Skynyrd
Yeah Neil, because some hot weather will cut off people’s heads. Great idea.
This is your brain
This is your brain after 50 years of consuming mind altering drugs.
