Former President Barack Obama snubbed the latest leftist movement on Tuesday night and admitted “we can’t ascribe any particular” weather event to climate change.
During an event at Calgary’s Saddledome arena, the moderator of the event pressed Obama on at least five occasions in under 10 minutes about the “threat” of climate change.
“All of us are going to have to recognize that there are trade-offs involved with how we live, how our economy is structured, and the world we’re going to be passing on to our kids and our grandkids. And nobody is exempt from that conversation,” Obama said.
“The fact of the matter is that oil and gas have powered the industrial revolution, have powered Canada’s economy, the U.S. economy, and have powered the world. It has been an extraordinary run and is still the cheapest means for us to power all the things that we do,” he added.
After the moderator continued to ask the same question about climate change with a different twist, the former president concluded by partially arguing in favor of implementing eco-friendly measures.
“It is indisputable that the planet is getting warmer. It is indisputable that, although we can’t ascribe any particular event, weather event to rising temperatures, at the current pace that we are on the scale of tragedy that will consume humanity is something that we have not seen in perhaps recorded history if we don’t do something about it,” Obama said.
Despite the moderator pushing Obama to go full-scale leftist and warn about the dangers of climate change, the former president didn’t point-blank say the world was going to end in 12 years like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
At a point in similar event on Monday, Obama argued that the world would be a much better place if there were a million more versions of himself walking around.
The 44th president argued in Winnipeg that the world’s future would be much brighter if there were a million prototypes of himself and his wife, former First Lady Michelle Obama.
Obama detailed his plans to install a “university for social change” that will create hub for young people in America and around the world who don’t trust “old institutions.”
“If we train them — if we give them skills, support, financing, media training, spotlights, then they’re the ones that are going to carry forward the solutions that we so desperately need,” Obama sad.
“If we could form a network of those young leaders, not just in the United States, but around the world, then we got something,” he continued.
Hope, Obama argued, is attainable “if we can train a million Baracks and Michelles who are running around thinking they can change the world.”
Obama may be hiding behind the cameras to dish out his petty grudges, but he’s apparently trying to create a million prototypes of himself to have a major impact on the world.
