As a Generation Xer what a blast from the past. I did not even know this dude was still around. At least in the states he was a one hit wonder with "Cars".

Science uses the scientific method.

Climate “science” uses computer models.

Computer models do not use the scientific method.

Any questions?

News flash Gary: People buy music because they like it not because you are kissing up to their political beliefs.

I’m amazed that so many rich people are fixated on Global Warming.

Cars was a huge hit but lame as hell. I heard it a few weeks ago on 70’s xm. Turned it off about 30 seconds in. It’s irritating.

Wow. Still trying to be relevant about 40 years after his hit single.

What a stupid dweeb. The embodiment of Mr. Bean for real. He envisioned Earth blazing hot. Earth can’t change temps at will. The Sun governs Earth’s temp. It spins through a sea of COLD in its orbit. Without Sol, we’d freeze. God’s promise, to Noah after the flood, still stands. Read Genesis chapter 8, especially verse 22. One of God’s promises to Noah, to his progeny, and to us and OUR progeny.

Ok, we won't argue with you about that.

Gary Numan: How Trump’s ‘Stupidity’ on Climate Change Became My Twisted Inspiration

Oh yeah - Tubeway Army, from my childhood. Good to know he's still alive and kicking. Apparently he's got some random uninformed opinion about global warming, which is nice, but it's just good to know that every musician I listened to in my boyhood isn't dead yet. RIP Walter Becker.

>>Set in a distant future, the Earth has been devastated by global warming and is, for the most part, dry and desert-like. Water is so scarce it has become the only meaningful currency. The Eastern and Western cultural differences that we have today are long gone, or vaguely merged perhaps. Merged not through any new age of tolerance or understanding, but because simply surviving is difficult enough. No one has cared for a very long time about whose God is best, or has any memory of a book, any book, that would claim to guide us in how we should live, love and die. This is a savage, hostile world, filled with tribal societies and brutal characters, themselves as savage and hostile as the world they live in.

So a bit of Mad Max then?

>> In the forming of these ideas I had watched a number of documentaries that moved and frightened me in equal measure, the Al Gore film An Inconvenient Truth hitting home particularly hard.

The discredited film?

>>Either way, it coincidentally had a real world relevance to what I was writing. What had started out as an almost silly, fantasy look into the future, suddenly started to become a vague possibility.

So his paranoid fears (after 40 years of such sci-fi post-apocalyptic fantasy) suddenly because vaguely possible in his mind, and moreso bankable if he tied it to Trump.

His top 40 goes beyond Cars. He’s had a few in the US.

I’ve been a fan of him, yet not his politics. There was a period in his career that is as dry as this “future earthscape” that he describes.

Whenever some idiot talks about global deserts because of global warming (Fiction based on fiction) no one ever thinks “Where did the water go?!”

Idiots. But I like the warddrobe in the new video.

Gary calls himself a new immigrant to the United States (said he couldn’t vote in 2016).

So I looked a little and found this:

Gary Numan moving to U.S. after riot

WENN.COM

FIRST POSTED: SATURDAY, AUGUST 20, 2011 12:32 AM EDT

New wave music giant Gary Numan is planning to emigrate to America after watching the devastating riots unfold in his native Britain earlier this month.

The civil unrest, which began in London after a police shooting, spread across the country as thugs attacked city centres, smashing windows, looting shops and setting buildings on fire.

The singer, famous for the synth-pop hit Cars, was disgusted by the violence and admits seeing the news coverage of the events was the final push he needed to finalize his plans to emigrate to the U.S.

He filed official papers last week and he’s looking forward to a new life in California with his wife Gemma and their three daughters if their application is approved.

Numan tells Britain’s Daily Record, “We are trying to emigrate to America. We will know within the next month if we are successful.

“The other day my wife was walking down the High Street and a bunch of kids between 12 and 14 were telling her what they would like to do to her. She had my children with her. You’ve got to be kidding.

“Every village and town in England has a bunch of thugs running around in it. The riots were the nail in the coffin. I have been sitting on the application for the last two months, asking Gemma if she is absolutely sure because once it is done, it’s done forever. The day after the riots, I got onto the lawyer and said, ‘let’s do it - get on with it’. I do love being English and I am not anti the country but I have got to think of the children.

“America clearly has its own problems, but Santa Monica is great. It has beautiful beaches and the Pacific ocean. There is not one bit of trouble and not one surly or aggressive person there. Everyone is friendly. You ask the teenagers there for directions and they are polite and helpful. Do that here and you are as likely to get stabbed as you are to get directions. The fact is the English are pretty miserable.”
