Rock icon blames 'unfit leader' Trump after home lost to wildfire, calls him climate change 'denier

Rock legend Neil Young lost the Malibu home he shares with his wife, actress Daryl Hannah, in the devastating California wildfires, according to Variety — and the singer-songwriter put the blame on President Donald Trump.

“It really is time for a reckoning with this unfit leader,” Young wrote Sunday regarding Trump on his website, Neil Young Archives.

Young — also an outspoken environmental activist — took issue with Trump's assertion that poor forest management was to blame for the wildfires and instead pointed toward climate change, as well as the commander in chief.

“California is vulnerable — not because of poor forest management as DT (our so-called president) would have us think," Young wrote. He added that the state is "vulnerable because of Climate Change" and cited "extreme weather events," an "extended drought," as well as high temperatures "in our hottest summer on record."

"DT seems to be the Denier. (I’m holding back and not using the word liar just because it rhymes with denier.)," he added. "It really is time for a reckoning with this unfit leader. Maybe our new Congress can help. I sure hope so."

Young — who turned 73 on Monday — ended his essay calling Trump a "leader who defies science":

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 opinion than he does for the people he leads. Imagine an unfit leader. Now imagine a fit one.

Look around.
