He cares about people and peoples fucking children... What can't this guy do? He's such a caring person...

I'm not against rescuing Earth. I'm critizing three things.

First: Is there anything that can do more harm to ecology than connecting with politics? This is happening and it's dangerous. Why? Because ecologists make themselves and their actions dependent on politicians, investors and their funds.

Second: solutions suggested by ecologists often are actually more harmful in long terms than standard actions.

Third: why people agree with something just because a pop/rock star says it?

it's not all about the fear-mongering cataclysimic climate change people. Things need to dramatically change, regardless, due to the frightening large amount of poisons in our, air, water and food.

You're the ignorant one to be only able to focus on one aspect of this argument. cheers.

Damn brainwashed monkeys. Volcanos emit more greenhouse gasses than we ever will. -3 feedback my ass. This man is dead right.

[kaligula11]

Not so complete. He wouldnt be active against environmental change if he knew what we really cant do nothing about it. Sun and oceans my friends do that, not us.

[PetalSteelGuitar]

We need more people like Thom Yorke in the world.

I think it's awesome Thom is involved in this!

[Vincecouk]
