He's also been hanging out on a 450 foot yacht that...and i'm going out on a limb here...probably does't run on bunny hugs and sunshine

Making sacrifices for the good of the planet is only for lower class trash.
---

So what? He had the hardest job in the world for 8 years if he wants to get rich and do fuck all he should be able to.
---

you realize how grateful I would be to even have a "leader" even acknowledge that climate change is real rn
---

It's almost like he's a high profile person with security needs!
---

you're so desperate to distract from the shit Trump is doing you're still deflecting to Obama, i fucking LOVE it
---

That son of a bitch, sure wish someone would impeach him.
---

Surely that jet and those cars were powered by renewal energy... right?
---

What a doof.
---

Trump has spent 35 million dollars of taxpayer money going golfing each weekend.

Waste is waste

Sadly most people can't see this for fear of being labeled racist. But a piece of shit is a piece of shit no matter what color it is.

Hahahaha look at all these excuses and deflectors. Liberal logic: "It's ok if one of our own does it!"

I'd agree if this was Michael Moore or something, but he's literally required to have a shit ton of personal protection.

This. Pretty much all climate change conferences & speeches are terrible for the environment because of rich assholes flying on private jets.

You mean that there carbon footprint of a single plane ride and a dozen vehicles taking a single trip isn't even remotely compared to cutting a country's emission by even 0.05%?

Yeah I'm surprised no one brought that up either...

people have -- they said that he's still a very important figure who needs lots of security. but you didn't notice those because you can't easily fling shit at them.

funny how you don't address the people mentioning Trumps excessive golfing expeditions and how much taxpayer dollars those cost, coming from the party of fiscal responsibility and government waste, since you're going on about hypocrisy in leaders.
---

isn't this like complaining about someone who wants to raise taxes not just donating more money to the government?

the optics are bad but it honestly wouldn't matter if he personally did it or not in terms of how it impacts the climate

if you thought personal action was sufficient then multinational agreements wouldn't be pursued in the first place

Trump is such a shit president that his cultists are STILL deflecting to Obama and Hillary to distract

Yeah but that's so short sighted of you.

Climate change needs to be addressed on a global and industrial level. It's done through regulation and promoting cleaner energy and transportation systems. Obama's lifestyle won't make a fucking dent in climate and neither will any one individual, the change we need needs to be global.

You understand of course he is a visitor in a foreign country, right? The motorcade wasn't ordered by him? The host country is providing protection for a visiting head of State?

This is seriously one of the silliest complaints I've seen on the internet...

It's not about the physical example, it's about practicing what you preach. But you already knew that and just deflecting.

"reduce government waste"

TC doesn't actually care about climate change. He's just another alt crying about liberals. There has been an influx of them ever since La Pen lost the election. Even madfoot made an appearance after getting banned and disappearing for awhile

In this liberals mind, Obama never went on a vacation and lived in the Oval Office.

But somehow still added 7 trillion to the debt.

The mission isn't to make everybody's life more expensive so we can marginally reduce CO2 emissions. The whole point of these summits is to find the most economic, effective, and reproducable solutions to mitigate what issues are unavoidable (Loss of coastline, damage to infrastructure). Making the secret service change their cars to Tesla's or becoming a hermit who lives off of geothermal heat in Iceland won't make a god damn difference. These are practical people who realize that token gestures mean nothing when you are trying to spur innovations in the market to replace the detrimental economic base.

The point of these summits isn't to convince people to buy Tesla cars. It's to figure out what technology can replace or supplement our current technology without damaging the economy severely.

I mean, you might as well complain that doctors battling an epidemic get first priority for a new vaccine. "Wow, they get special treatment just because they're VIPs. What shitty people".

President Obama is using the current infrastructure while alternatives are being developed. There is nothing ethically wrong with that.

compare how much Obama spent on vacations during his ENTIRE PRESIDENCY to how much Trump has spent so far (in like 4 months) and get back to me.

It certainly doesn't set a convincing example as a former world leader. If I was a world leader and wanted people to take climate change more seriously, I certainly wouldn't show up to a climate change summit via private jet and huge motorcade.

and huge motorcade.

I don't think Obama gets to dictate the terms of his Secret Service detail
