Let’s not forget, Obama’s carbon footprint was estimated to be 41,000 metric tons, the equivalent of 2200 American households. Of course, that estimate was produced in 2009, well before we realized just how often Obama would take long fossil fueled flights, including separate ones from his family and dog, as well as the number of times he’d take a big motorcade to play a round of golf. Which leads to
Obama to push climate change for Earth Day
President Obama plans to spotlight his climate change plans next week, saying Saturday that “there’s no greater threat to our planet” than ever-rising temperatures.
The week will be built around a presidential trip to the Florida Everglades on Wednesday, which is Earth Day.
“The Everglades is one of the most special places in our country, but it’s also one of the most fragile,” Obama said in his weekly radio address. “Rising sea levels are putting a national treasure — and an economic engine for the South Florida tourism industry — at risk.”
So, he’s going to take a fossil fueled flight, followed by a huge fossil fueled motorcade, to head to Florida to highlight Hotcoldwetdry.
The sad part is that the Everglades are endangered from actual environmental issues (pollution, pesticides, illegal dumping, overuse of water, etc). But, instead of focusing on those real issues, these hardcore members of the Cult of Climastology blow those off and worry about the fake issue of anthropogenic climate change.
