I liked Thom's reaction when the chick said "...singer thom yorke from the rock band radiohead" - turning away to his mate saying like "Rock band? Great... Do I look like a fucking Iggy Pop or something?"))))))))))))))))
@globalmickey87 um....radiohead is a rock band. an experimental alternative rock band that incorporates all sorts of different genres like electronic music into their songs, but still a rock band.
The climate conflict is not a political problem, its a spiritual one. If we human beings would listen to our spiritual side instead of our material the environment would look different...
cause thats what happens when you got a lot of shit in your mind... its hard to put it all into words and make it come out perfect for the audience... the pauses come with wisdom
Aye, at no point was Radiohead not a rock band. Even Amnesiac could be aptly described at experimental rock. She could have even said alternative rock, though that would have been a bit weird.
Well if the Goverment can't be botherd to save the world then why should other people care. They shouldnt waste their lives trying to save the world cause one day the Sun could and WILL blow up which means the End of the World, so it would of been for nothing.
@strangemutt the sun IS exploding, constantly, thats what it is. its exploding gas, it will eventually run out as you say, but not for millions of years.

I used to believe in this, but man caused climate change is bullshit. There are far more important things we need to be concentrating on right now. Thom Yorke is a very intelligent and creative man and I deeply respect him, but I'm afraid I have to say that he has been deceived.
Please elaborate bec. right now there are many species that have disapeared because of our doings and everyone seems to think like you.
I think that a person should join a cause they care for Like for example the cause you are working with is equally important as the one friends of the earth are working for.
Maybe we are speeding it up. But can we stop it? I don't think so. Like you said, climate change is a natural process. The fight against global warming has become like a religion. The real danger is polution, and we can stop that.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
What?? Climate changes are dictated mainly by the sun. Human activity does something that has no real role actually. It's more of a political thing, sadly. It's a pity that intelligent and influential people, and establushment let their brains be directed in a one-sided way. Read a bit of that instead of saying bullshit just because it's attractive (to all of us) to rescue the planet. And I agree completely with what bloggerjoe wrote below.
You think climate change is a political thing? Didn't u think that politics are dictated by wealthy circle of people involved in oil business. You think taking measures about climate change benefits in any way to that sort of people? The richest people in the world are those who run oil business and they'll make anything to sweep these issues under the rug for as long as possible
Good point. But I do believe that there is no way we can " beat" global warming/climate change without help from the government. People are lazy and we won't do it by ourself ( I'm thinking of the masses, not you and me)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
OK, so Thom Yorke means well... BUT... as I recall, Radiohead made themselves famous AND rich by playing at huge festivals like Lolapalooza in the US, and Glastonbury in the UK.
Now he is saying the band won't play Glastonbury because there is not enough "public transport" to the festival grounds.
I did not hear him complain about "carbon footprints" or "power draining lights" when he was taking to the stage drunk, and living the excessive rock star lifestyle.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
That's as may be, but my point is that Yorke & Co did not seem to mind polluting the world while they needed to take advantage of it to get famous and rich.
All too often, pop stars are completely self-obsessed, leaving a much larger carbon footprint than the average person, as long as they are busy getting what they want. (Gabriel, Bono, etc).
Then, once they are good and rich, they want YOU to cut back on your little life.
Yorke has ridden many a limosine to gigs, my friend...
So what you're trying to say is that there's no way a person can open their eyes and say "oh crap what am I or what have I been doing for the past 20 years, I need to change." That doesnt happen? Who spoke about pollution in the 90's?
The only issue I remembered was Mexico having acid rain and it was just a bit acidic not like oh shit I'm melting. Cant expect people to be saints from birth in order to join a cause.
We are agreed on your point about 'people can change' etc.
But Yorke has specifically pointed a finger at Glastonbury... which is a venue new, young, up and coming bands need very much to promote THEIR art.
Yorke is now a very successful and influential figure. He could harm the Glastonbury festival, and others like it, along with the careers of new groups who deserve the same 'access to audience' that he/Radiohead enjoyed.
I guess I understand now what you meant. yeah one thing is to try and better the situation but he cant dissassociate himself from what he's done as well... Cheers Joe thanks for clearing it up.

Bollocks to climate change. The market will dictate what happens to the environment. Yorke is a left wing bore and his band are merely Pink Floyd lite for public schoolboys.
Interesting i thought Thom was Intelligent, a petition has been signed by over 31,000 American scientists, basically debunking this theory. I have never heard any NEWS broadcaster question this. Also i am not against making the earth a cleaner safer place. What ever happened to Tesla's free energy, why has this been suppressed, Imagine if we used are technology to free up peoples time, instead of inslaving us. Money is so last century, used to control the masses. So much to say so little space.
its all a scam to impose more tax on you. stupid cunt.. the science is completely disputed.. lol @ al gore receiving an ward while there is an ICE STORM in america.. thom yorke is a dumb, mislead little lamb, faggot queer
i went to your page and from your hobbies you must be chrisitan, if you are then don't they teach you to love others? Dude in this sentence you spreaded hate on the internet for all the world to see. I read the bible and it says hypocrites live in the deepest of hell.
WOOOW. Just wow man.You are a complete bastard! And btw, global warming includes erratic weather changes. I suggest you actually get your head out of your ass and get over yourself before you go making useless, idiotic comments like that.

hahah Thom's face at the beginning of the interview classic. "i really don't wanna fucking be here piss off". Especially when she says Rock in that sort of sarcastic manor.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
It kind of seems like he doesn't really support it, but people around him, like his manager and whatnot, have urged him to join a charity or environmental awareness group. Any of his other interviews, he speaks fine, he gets into the interview. Here, it's pretty lackluster.
Thom has said in other interviews and press releases that he's not that comfortable playing the role of activist. He's not Bono. I think his concern for the cause is very genuine. Keep in mind, the guy he has with him is someone whom he would feel is far better qualified to discuss global warming, and the smartest thing he can do is be quiet and agree when it's appropriate. Of course the presenters want more then that from him, because he's the glamorous one. He does his best.
I know what you mean, but reducing carbon emissions is huge to Yorke - it's the main theme of his solo album The Eraser. He's like this in every interview... pretty much no eye contact and a lot of thinking before he responds to questions.
im being serious here. do you think thom has some type of social anxiety or disability. nothing with his eye or anything. i always thought at least what ive seen on youtube, there is something wrong with him. its fine though because we all have problems. hes my favorite frontman by far. seems like a great person. very smart
watch meeting people is easy. its a very artsy'ish documentary from the OK Computer era tour, and basically it completely wore Thom out, and he was completely miserable.
thanks stuart little! watch my videos! i probably do have social anxiety but oh well. thom just seems super awkward a lot. thats basically all im saying.
He's been known to struggle with depression and he doesn't interview well. He doesn't really like talking about himself. Some reporters have managed to break through his shell, but it takes some doing.
i would rather listen to an honest man like thom than a lying sack of shit like most politicians. shyness and being humble to me is an attribute. thom can do whatever the fuck he wants to, it's all good!!!
Your right , but people will always be ignorant....
-People still drop litter
-People still don't pick up dog shit
People are so egotistical that they can't make a connection between polluting the earth and being flooded. When they do they will understand but then its too late
looks like tho has had a rough nite...g,,poor lad,,getting up so early like that n to be on telly is not really something he enjoys doing,is it? yorke is the best musician.
The fatalist in me is thinking, "If the majority of us humans are stupid enough to ignore this problem, then then let us all die." Democracy, or the facade that we buy into, is flawed in this situation.
hiya, well I've seen Thom just once in south parade curry restraunt, apparently he is a regular there. I have seen Jonny lots of time, in Vodafone store with brother Colin and just roaming abouts with a push chair in westgate store. I reckon Thom is the shy one in radiohead :)
Fuck you: Just because you get famous doesn't mean you have to stop caring about things, especially when it's as scary as global warming. If more people shelved their pride and risked looking rediculous for the sake of getting something done, this world wouldn't be so screwed right now.

HOWEVER IF YOU DONT POST THIS COMMENT TO AT LEAST 3 VIDEOS YOU WILL DIE WITHIN 2 DAYS. NOW UV STARTED READIN DIS DUNT STOP THIS IS SO SCARY. SEND THIS OVER TO 5 VIDEOS IN 143 MINUTES WHEN UR DONE PRESS F6 AND UR CRUSHES NAME WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN IN BIG LETTERS. THIS IS SO SCARY BECAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKs
Well I thought that was interesting. And Thom at least knew what he was talking about. People were listening, too, coz its Thom... Interesting that sense of fear of things on this planet that follows him around, though. Interesting person he is...
I respect Thom, though I have always been a little disappointed in his particular choice of social action group. Doesn't he know that Friends of the Earth are directly responsible for the starvation of hundreds of thousands of people in Mozambique though them convincing the country's president to stop the emergency import of tons of GM food, their justification being that it was 'poison'! Most radical environmentalists are at best guilt ridden elitists and at worst, racists in disguise!
jeez, hes just a concerned guy like the rest of us except hes got the status to actively spread word and do something about the issue. how can you criticise him for it?
neuclear power isnt the only clean alternative to coal power. There's still hydro-energy, solar power etc. I'm not a fan of neuclear power, what with the possibility of a new Tsjernobyl always in the back of my head. But global warming doesnt go away or be any less true because neuclear power is an unattractive option.
during the industrial revolution when there were more man made green house gases than ever before the temperature of the planet went down. Global warming is a big con. Its made up so that the government can tax us for fresh air.
Whether it's a scam or not, if you don't agree that we should cut down on our emissions and make vehicles more fuel efficient, then you are corrupt. Because we have the possibility to. And if we aren't being more efficient, we are being wasteful, and the only people who want us to be wasteful are the oil-involved companies, because it means we have to use more oil.
No, they want to raise the price of oil by creating artificial scarcity, just like the peak oil scam.
20 seconds of research will reveal that was a scam.
We live under a system with central banks that control/issue a fiat currency and use this power to consolidate the wealth of the people by loaning out money that isnt really real.
I watched about 1/2 of the Global Warming Swindle-- this seems about the same.
If you look up Tim Ball, Robert Balling, & Richard Lindzen (from the video you mentioned), they do or have accepted money from oil companies. I think that these videos are basically made by Republicans trying to keep democrats from "destroying our freedoms"... freedom to destroy the earth.
Although we don't know whether man-made global warming is real (but I'm almost sure it is), I think we should follow policies for its reversal. This means research for non-gasoline cars, green energy, et cetera. Even if global warming is fake, there's no reason to oppose this.
The arguments against global warming are like saying "littering isn't bad for the environment, so let's continue to do so." Whether it's bad or not, it's obvious we are doing something unnatural, so let's stop as quickly as possible. The only people who argue against this are using "freedom" (which is really greed) as an argument.
GLOBAL WARMING IS NOT A SCAM AND YOU ARE IGNORANT TO BE THINKING IT IS! our temperature is rising, we had two degrees (celsius) left before the consequences become devastating (think oceans rising etc.). people say its a scam because its conveniant if you don't have to change your lifestyle.
The oil companies BACK the enviromentalist movement.
They want the tax.
Its not a rep/democrat thing, these parties are one in the same.
Our temp is rising, because of the sun.
But fine, go pay your carbon tax, look up feudalism, because its what we'll be living under.
CO2 is 20% of overall greenhouse gases, and we produce 2% of the CO2, when mount st helans blew it released more greenhouse gases than we produced in 100 years.
how can our temperature be rising because of the sun? the sun is halfway through its ten billion year lifespan and is getting cooler. and even if you think global warming is a scam, our society consumes so much we don't need, wouldn't it be better to cut back anyway?
maybe you'd think it was more real if you lived below a glacier lake in Bhutan or if you lived in Tuvalu. but then again, maybe you don't think these places exist either!
you can tell thom is aware of his funny face by the way he is looking down so much! plus he says basically so many times - he must be feeling a bit hehe....proud. hes so fucking rad.
education system needs the most change/improvement. if it were so intelligent we would not have the social, economic, environment problems. wtf do we do???? only 1/4 of us can think! see how "we're all one"? - the only solution is to end war. come to peace agreement/treaty. and then work together on changing education and all the rest.
i actually agree with you. its the one thing i disagree with thom yorke on. i believe its a naturaly process, like ice ages or when britain was covered by a vast desert.
i got the impression that he's just generally uncomfortable and a little distrusting of the snarky press, and did not want to come off as daft on a subject he's passionate about.
but he still felt compelled to come out and speak about it. or was asked. either way, as long as the word is spread...
Did Thom just get his wisdom teeth pulled or something?.....his cheeks look weird.....plus his hair looks stupid. He shouldn't be using a 'stylist' anyways....its way too uncool, and he has a serious problem with eye contact...in spite of the fact that i love their music.
4:18-19...Thom's taking a deep breath...hmmm

The fatalist in me is thinking, "If the majority of us humans are stupid enough to ignore this problem, then then let us all die." Democracy, or the facade that we buy into, is flawed in this situation.

I respect Thom, though I have always been a little disappointed in his particular choice of social action group. Doesn't he know that Friends of the Earth are directly responsible for the starvation of hundreds of thousands of people in Mozambique though them convincing the country's president to stop the emergency import of tons of GM food, their justification being that it was 'poison'! Most radical environmentalists are at best guilt ridden elitists and at worst, racists in disguise!

neuclear power isnt the only clean alternative to coal power. There's still hydro-energy, solar power etc. I'm not a fan of neuclear power, what with the possibility of a new Tsjernobyl always in the back of my head. But global warming doesnt go away or be any less true because neuclear power is an unattractive option.

during the industrial revolution when there were more man made green house gases than ever before the temperature of the planet went down. Global warming is a big con. Its made up so that the government can tax us for fresh air.

The big oil companies fund and back greenpiece, these are the same globalists that want a carbon tax.
Its all a total scam, google video a movie called global warming or global governance.
achilles123321 4 years ago
achilles123321:
Whether it's a scam or not, if you don't agree that we should cut down on our emissions and make vehicles more fuel efficient, then you are corrupt. Because we have the possibility to. And if we aren't being more efficient, we are being wasteful, and the only people who want us to be wasteful are the oil-involved companies, because it means we have to use more oil.
joshuak47 4 years ago
No, they want to raise the price of oil by creating artificial scarcity, just like the peak oil scam.
20 seconds of research will reveal that was a scam.
We live under a system with central banks that control/issue a fiat currency and use this power to consolidate the wealth of the people by loaning out money that isnt really real.
achilles123321 4 years ago
Global warming is another scam, set up to bring in a global carbon tax, while at the same time making the living standard of people go down.
The oil companies have a monopoly, and don't want us to use MORE they want us to use LESS, and pay MORE for using less.
So they ship out less oil, and make more money doing so.
achilles123321 4 years ago
I watched about 1/2 of the Global Warming Swindle-- this seems about the same.
If you look up Tim Ball, Robert Balling, & Richard Lindzen (from the video you mentioned), they do or have accepted money from oil companies. I think that these videos are basically made by Republicans trying to keep democrats from "destroying our freedoms"... freedom to destroy the earth.
joshuak47 4 years ago 2
Although we don't know whether man-made global warming is real (but I'm almost sure it is), I think we should follow policies for its reversal. This means research for non-gasoline cars, green energy, et cetera. Even if global warming is fake, there's no reason to oppose this.
joshuak47 4 years ago 2
The arguments against global warming are like saying "littering isn't bad for the environment, so let's continue to do so." Whether it's bad or not, it's obvious we are doing something unnatural, so let's stop as quickly as possible. The only people who argue against this are using "freedom" (which is really greed) as an argument.

GLOBAL WARMING IS NOT A SCAM AND YOU ARE IGNORANT TO BE THINKING IT IS! our temperature is rising, we had two degrees (celsius) left before the consequences become devastating (think oceans rising etc.). people say its a scam because its conveniant if you don't have to change your lifestyle.
itgirlragdoll93 4 years ago
The oil companies BACK the enviromentalist movement.
They want the tax.
Its not a rep/democrat thing, these parties are one in the same.
Our temp is rising, because of the sun.
But fine, go pay your carbon tax, look up feudalism, because its what we'll be living under.
CO2 is 20% of overall greenhouse gases, and we produce 2% of the CO2, when mount st helans blew it released more greenhouse gases than we produced in 100 years.
Its A SCAM.
achilles123321 4 years ago
how can our temperature be rising because of the sun? the sun is halfway through its ten billion year lifespan and is getting cooler. and even if you think global warming is a scam, our society consumes so much we don't need, wouldn't it be better to cut back anyway?
