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.

How much thought can an extinct human think... if an extinct thought could think thoughts.

Let's declare humans an endangered species. Then at least our preborn humans will have as much legal protection as a vulture's egg.

The government.... they can't or won't control the border, our infrastructure is falling apart, our cities are devolving into hellholes.. but they can control and fix the climate! Setting aside whether it is necessary to even attempt such a thing ( I don't think it is, it is merely another reason for a new bureaucracy and raising of taxes and control of the citizenry) it's impossible.

As for obozo, I heard some of this podcast replayed on Mark Levin's show.... he is the most arrogant smug pr*ck to have ever appeared on the public scene.

Complete, total, unmitigated mendacity!

Hey Barry ...I fear God’s judgment far more than those who will eradicate themselves - we all will stand before Him, including you and your lovely family.

I can’t decide if these people are this deranged, stupid or if they’re just shameless liars who will gleefully exploit the stupidity, gullibility of others to reach their political ends.

Why not all three? Obama doesn't seem too concerned about the future and climate change. That beachfront house in Martha's Vineyard for instance. Why spend $15M for a residence that will be underwater - literally not financially - in ten years?! And he keeps busy raking in bucks from every available source...

Notice all of these “existential” threats give government a blank checkbook with little transparency, definition, or accountability (war on climate change, war on poverty, war on terror)?

Whatever happened to the Ice Age the film strips I was shown in grade school in the 1970s said was coming due to the increase in carbon dioxide?

The worst impact on climate change has been Barack Hussain Obama, he has wasted a Trillion dollars of hard earned money and only damaged the economy further with his foolish schemes.

To improve Climate Change, eliminate his sorry ass.

is there any organism that THRIVES because the ecosystems are being reshaped?

They are called politicians.

“COULD BE EXTINCT IN A HUNDRED YEARS-BUT IF THEY DO”

...IF THEY DO BE...

...BE...DO...

To be is to do - Socrates
To do is to be - Sartre
Do Be Do Be Do - Sinatra

It’s that kind of thing that makes me think aliens are among us. What human would say, ...could be extinct, but if they do.... ?

Why did the liar buy a home near the beach in Massachusetts, then?

First thing I thought. These clowns don't truly believe the garbage that they spew.
