Did you hear about Obama taking a trip to Yosemite over the weekend? His little trip would have featured a long fossil fueled trip on a very large jumbo jet, with a backup jet following, as well as a few fighter jets. It would have started with a helicopter trip to the airport, and featured a helicopter trip to Yosemite

Fortunately, much of the park was closed so Obama could say

These parks belong to all of us.
This planet belongs to all of us.
It’s the only one we’ve got. #ActOnClimate https://t.co/GEKhf4Pc9V

Obama at Yosemite attacks ‘lip service’ to natural beauty amid climate inaction

Barack Obama warned on Saturday that climate change could ravage many of America’s vaunted national parks, criticizing political opponents who “pay lip service” to areas of natural beauty while opposing efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

During a visit to Yosemite national park, Obama said climate change was “no longer a threat, it’s a reality”. The first sitting president to visit Yosemite since John F Kennedy in 1962 said the famed glacial valley was already experiencing changes due to rising temperatures. (snip)

Obama said: “We can’t treat it like it’s someone else’s problem, it shouldn’t lead to careless suggestions that we don’t get serious about carbon emissions or that we scrap an international treaty that we spent years putting together to deal with this.

He, of course, means that Other People shouldn’t treat it as someone else’s problem, because, after a few photo ops, he jumped back in a fossil fueled helicopter to get to a fossil fueled jumbo jet for a fossil fueled trip back to Washington.

But, you now have your marching orders, Warmists: it’s time for you to walk the talk. Give up your use of fossil fuels. Set your AC to 80. Only buy local. Take two minute showers. Only use composting toilets. Don’t use ice makers. Your appliances can only be powered by solar and wind. Unplug every electrical device in your house when not in use. Don’t have kids. Make your life carbon neutral.
