given that Obama bought a mega mansion on martha’s vineyard, what does that mean that he thinks the possibility is, of that happening?

how could you possibly conclude that was my point? That was very very stupid even for you.
Obama, regardless of his skin color, obviously isnt worried about oceans rising.
you tried to make that a racist remark? seriously? you cannot be taken seriously here.
our construction czar flies around in a private jet, which tells me he isn’t concerned about the effect of a big carbon footprint on the environment.

Seeing I had no idea him buying a house was such news
yet seems i wasn't far off seeing fox ran an op-ed about the subject
suggesting it was about “Too many in Democratic leadership peddle the politics of envy and victimhood to grab power, wealth and success for themselves,” she said.
FYI my comment was sarcasm
Yet 99.9 % of Republicans aren't worried about oceans rising.
many of the rich aren't concerned seeing it will impact them the least
and how is buying a house equal to not concerned in the ocean risings
I just don't see How he even ties into the topic..
other than what pete suggested you think obama a hypocrite for buying a house on an island

Jim never misses a red herring, environmental change can’t happen because (insert name) flies on airplanes.
The total of air traffics contribution is somewheres around 2% and that’s for all flights, passenger, cargo and military and eliminating it completely would still leave 98%
Now Jim has no idea if any of the people he has heard Fox cite as hypocrites combined trips, chose not to take trips or used one of the numerous mechanisms to offset their carbon footprint by any amount.
But that wouldn’t enhance his victimhood, would it?
But we all know he’s Stable Genius II and really really, like smart.

never said it can’t happen because of the example set by the biggest mouths in this movement. As often happens, a liberal is responding to something no one ever said. What i said, was question whether or not it should happen, whether or not it needs to happen.
Why is it a red herring if I say this….let’s all be held to the same standard, let’s all be asked to make the same sacrifices. If Al Gore and Barack Obama and John Kerry have a carbon footprint that’s acceptable ( and since none of you can ever bring yourselves to criticize those guys, let’s assume it’s acceptable), why isn’t it acceptable if we all have the same carbon footprint?
Wayne, FYI, now i’m being critical of two white guys and a black guy, is that racial makeup acceptable to you? Because we can throw Leonardo Decaprio and Steven Spielberg in the list if that makes the aggregate skin pigmentation ( which is always important to liberals) tolerable to you.

Of course, every single Republican voted against climate change legislation
Republicans fight climate change laws because they’re paid to.
Republicans fight gun control laws because they’re paid to.
Republicans fight unions and living wages because they’re paid to.
Republicans fight healthcare for all because they’re paid to.
Any questions?
Maybe who owns the GOP?

All I can say Jim is if that’s proof to you Obama isn’t concerned about global warming and sea level rise, I wil let you make a fool of yourself all by yourself. You do realize certain property purchases and locations are decades from being impacted by sea level rises, please share with us the elevation above sea level these Obama purchases that prove your silly case.

ok. so he did the math, and his house won’t be underwater until he’s gone, and he leaves the underwater mansion to the girls.
it’s very convenient that therefore, he can leave the biggest carbon footprint he feels like leaving.
for the second time, do we all have the right to the same carbon footprint that Obama has? any reason why you don’t want to answer that question?

Poor victim
We all need to do what we can, the things Tucker is telling you are silly, just like his theory that real men tan their testicles.
How do you know what anyone else has done about climate challenges?
You make assumptions and convict them based on what you heard, and then like a typical wannabe, won’t do anything unless you get a participation award.

i know that flying private is about as environmentally friendly, as burning tires in my backyard.
You’re terrified of this question…can we all have multiple mansions and fly private jets? or do only some folks have the right to that luxury?

Quaking, rather than engage in substantive debate about the science of climate change, and the apocalyptic effect it will have on our lives, you resort to personal attacks.
Let’s first acknowledge the fact this criticism is a logical fallacy, an ad hominem, that in no way refutes the existence of global warming or addresses its accompanying issues. Criticizing an environmentalist for flying too much is a diversion, a red herring, meant to derail us from having a real conversation about global warming, because any real conversation about global warming ends with us realizing how enormous and urgent the issue is.
The “fly too much” criticism shifts the blame from the actually guilty parties — oil companies, and the governments and financial systems who support them — to the environmental advocate, making him a scapegoat. Instead of a systemic problem, it transforms global warming into a personal problem. The jet-setting environmentalist is turned into a convenient villain, and branded a hypocrite.
Or are you now a socialist?
The rest of the MAGA world is having a full meltdown over CA keeping the power on during an unprecedented heat wave while Greg Abbott in TX couldn't.
