Once more, with VIGOR! for the “LightBringer”: “Fine for me but not for thee”
SHOT: Obama defends Paris climate accord as Trump mulls ditching it
Former US President Barack Obama praised his administration’s record on climate change Tuesday, just as the Trump administration struggles with an internal rift over whether to pull out of the Paris climate accord. The Paris Agreement was in part brokered by Obama and was seen as a major breakthrough after the previous accord, the Kyoto protocol, failed to include the US and China, the world’s two biggest polluters.
At a summit in Milan, Italy, focused on climate change and food availability, Obama defended the Paris Agreement and said that the US must show leadership and not “sit on the sidelines.” “During the course of my presidency, I made climate change a top priority because I believe that of all the challenges that we face, this is the one that will define the contours of this century, more dramatically perhaps than any other,” Obama said at the Seeds & Chips summit.
“We have been able to bring our emissions down even as we grow our economy. The same is true in many parts of Europe,” he said.
He fails to mention that he did everything he could to stop fracking which is, in no small part, responsible for much of US smaller emissions. That, and his policies strangled our economy.

…After the ex-president enjoyed his flight to the famous Italian city, he hopped in an SUV in a 14 car convoy direct to his hotel
What, he couldn’t do the “climate change” responsible thing and TELECOMMUTE to the event? Think of how much carbon that would have saved over his private jet’s contrails. Then again, he’s not one of us “little people”. Shades of his 72 degrees.
I understand providing security – but really, 13 other cars?

That 72 degree thing – remember this, when he first was elected?
“We can’t drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times … and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK,” Obama said.
He’s still of that mindset that we all must ask permission first for anything. Freedom much, Obama?
Nah, he’s a Progressive.
