BARACK OBAMA: HUMANS COULD BE EXTINCT IN A HUNDRED YEARS-BUT IF THEY DO, THOSE GENERATIONS WILL PROBABLY JUDGE US PRETTY HARSHLY.

Thanks Obama

If we don’t start to take urgent action to prevent the worst impacts of climate change today, then we may experience the end of our species within a century, former President Barack Obama said in a new interview.

Obama made the argument in a wide-ranging chat, on The New York Times‘ podcast The Ezra Klein Show, that also broached partisan politics, racial justice, the impacts of his presidency, and even UFOs. Specifically, Klein asked Obama what he thought we, as a society, would be judged the most harshly for in the year 2121, making the topic of climate inaction a pretty reasonable topic to bring up.

Big If

“Well, if we don’t get a handle on climate change, then if there’s anybody around to judge us, they’ll judge us pretty harshly on it, because the data is here,” Obama replied. “We know it. And we have the tools to make real progress with it.”

Obama was likely exaggerating for effect — even the most alarming predictions for the future of humanity suggest that climate-related extinction wouldn’t happen that close to the present, though some predict societal breakdown even sooner.

True Story

But Obama’s not exaggerating by much. The dangers of climate change are already claiming a horrifying number of human lives, according to a study published Monday in the journal Nature Climate Change that linked about 37 percent of heat-related deaths in certain cities between 1991 and 2018 to human-caused temperature increases.

The United Nations recently concluded that human-caused climate change puts a million species at risk of imminent extinction, and ecosystems are already being reshaped as various organisms either die off or flee — putting humanity itself in a very precarious position for the future.

Cherry-pick statistics much? Look at this wording / editorializing; 'linked', 'certain cities' 'human-caused'! Given that the source, 'Nature Climate Change', is only publishing, by its very name, affirmative articles on climate change, WOW, so convincing!

As for our past President and his cohorts, they have been casting aspersions and gloom for 2 generations. This prediction of doom a century from now is more of the same!

Huh? Headline is word salad.

Humans keep trying to wipe us out. One day they’ll succeed.

That’s perfectly OK. We will be living on Mars and growing plenty of potatoes there by then. Matt Damon has already been doing it. The EBT cards already are coded to pay for interplanetary produce, so it’s all good.

“The dangers of climate change are already claiming a horrifying number of human lives,”

Why? Are people committing suicide?? What a stupid statement. How does a “danger” kill people?

Don’t forget that this is the same old story for 50 years.

Climate scammers get researchers to come up with some garbage in, garbage out study.

Celebrities give an apocalyptic prediction loosely based on that junk science.

Time passes and the prediction is laughably wrong. If someone points that out the response is “That person wasn’t a scientist”.

Rinse & repeat.

The title makes no sense. (Or maybe Obama makes no sense.)

Expect some really outrageous commentary and disclosures this weekend. The Fauci emails mess needs a million cubic feet of sand and a back-hoe to cover that disaster sized turd.

The Great Man is also a Great Thinker. I’m awestruck.

Pres__ent Barack Obama, who previously professed his ignorance in law and politics, now professes his ignorance in science.

There are seven states hidden from the public. Those states will re-populate the world. Obama let it slip in one of his high brow intellectual speeches while he was president. He said 57 states. Nobody in the media asked for clarification, so it must be true and important.

“How much thought can an extinct human think?”

My first thought.

Reminds me of something Casey Stengel supposedly said:

I go to my friends’ funerals because when I die I want them to come to mine.
