(CNSNews.com) - President Obama warned on Thursday that despite his efforts to reduce the effects of climate change, it's "not going to come to an immediate stop."

"We know that there is still going to be an inevitable impact as a consequence of rising temperatures. And that means conservation has been a cornerstone of my presidency."

Obama even compared himself to President Teddy Roosevelt, as he addressed the 2016 Pacific Islands Conference of Leaders in his home state of Hawaii.

"Since taking office, I've protected more than 548 million acres of our lands and waters for our children and our grandchildren. I have to say that Teddy Roosevelt gets the credit for starting the National Parks system, but when you include a big chunk of the Pacific Ocean, we now have actually done more acreage than any other President.

More like a traitor opening the gates for the enemy.

OK, "conservationist", how 'bout you lay down on your "beloved" prairie while I just stampede a couple hundred bison your way? Oh--that will leave a mark (but not much more...).

“I think you mean, corruption assclown”

The only difference is the color of their skin. Otherwise they are both the same. The open question is, is there a way for America to recover from what the two of them did to her?

He’s just trying to press all the pre-election buttons. For some few surviving elders, “FDR” is a dog-whistle and a rally cry.

Less like “conservation” and more like “confiscation”. I understand his confusion.

Conservation is locking away resources from Americans and selling the rights to foreign countries? Who knew?
