The world’s richest nations have long been fueled by oil, coal and natural gas, but President Obama warned Friday that less affluent countries trying to take the same path will put the planet “under water.”

In an interview with Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, Mr. Obama said he hoped social-media “connectivity” will help convince developing nations to eschew fossil fuels, which contribute to rising carbon-dioxide levels in the atmosphere but are also less expensive and more reliable than green energy alternatives.

“In terms of the problems we have to solve, energy is a classic example, the issue of climate change,” Mr. Obama said at the three-day Global Entrepreneurship Summit at Stanford University.

In the bad old days of western imperialism we brought the message of Jesus Christ to our brown and yellow brothers and sisters and now the message from the west is one of green sustainable growth. The result may be the same. Serfdom. — Captain Compassion

That's the worst part; 40%+ of Americans (voters), are complete, idiotic, gullible dupes.

If Obola has two brain cells in a row he will flee to a non-extraditable country the day before President Trump takes office.

Gee I thought that Obozo’s election meant that the seas had stopped rising. He told us that years ago!

He’s really gotta try to keep his moronic propaganda themes straight!!

Well dayam Barry! You told your idiot voters that if they elected YOU, you would lower the sea levels. You better get to it boy, you don’t have much time left. January 20th will be here before you know it and you’ll be nothing more than a two-bit community agitator AGAIN. Nobody will jump when you pass gas.

Obama is the most inept, ignorant megalomaniac ever to pretend to be a leader of anything.

Who gives a rat's *ss what he thinks?

Obama is a White Supremacist’s dream because he fulfills every single stereotype they can imagine.

Absolute living proof that it's not merely a stereotype.

The only useful thing that has come out of this otherwise useless waste of oxygen.

Even if all the ice melted, the planet would not be completely submerged. In fact, we’d have new real estate to develop in Antarctica.
