Obama to Greta: 'You and Me, We're a Team'
American Thinker ^ | 11/21/2019 | John Eidson

Posted on 11/21/2019 8:00:23 AM PST by SeekAndFind

During her recent visit to Washington, DC, Swedish teen climate activist Greta Thunberg was hailed by Barack Obama as “one of our planet’s greatest advocates.”  When the two met prior to her speech before Congress, the former president assured her of his own environmental bona fides with this: “You and me, we’re a team.”

Cropped close-up from Obama Foundation YouTube

To demonstrate her passionate commitment to reducing fossil fuel emissions, Greta traveled from her country to the U.S. by a solar powered yacht, rather than a gas-guzzling private jet, the most planet-destructive mode of transportation.  Her “carbon-free” trip to America was largely a symbolic gesture, but there’s no doubt she’s a true believer in the hotly-disputed theory that fossil fuels are destroying the planet. 

If she thinks Obama is on her team, she’s one of the most gullible and uninformed 16-year-olds in the world.  Since she apparently knows little about his carbon-consumptive living, I will share that information here.  According to TIME, following are a few of the lifestyle choices he made in the first five months after leaving the White House in January 2017, each of which speaks volumes about how seriously he takes his own feigned call for “each and every one of us” to make drastic cutbacks in the use of fossil fuels.

● He bought an 8,200 sq. ft., 9-bedroom, fully air-conditioned mansion in one of the most exclusive neighborhoods in the nation’s capitol.

 

● The day he left office, he flew 2,200 miles in a near-empty U.S. government Boeing 747 all the way across the continent to Palm Springs, California for his first post-presidency vacation.

MORE ABOUT OBAMA, THE CLIMATE CHANGE BELIEVER:

● After relaxing at an 11,000 sq. ft. fully air-conditioned villa at the exclusive Thunderbird Heights Resort in nearby Rancho Mirage, he flew 3,300 miles, by private jet, all the way back across the continent to the Caribbean, where he vacationed with Richard Branson at Branson’s $48,000 per night, fully air-conditioned luxury villa on Branson’s private island.

● After departing his vacation with Branson by private jet, he took another private jet to fly 6,000 miles for some much-needed R & R at the late Marlon Brando’s fully air-conditioned French Polynesian hideaway in Tahiti.

She is currently travelling back across the N Atlantic on SV La Vagabonde, having hitched a ride with YouTube stars Riley and Elayna and their 11-month-old son Lennon.

At the absolute worst time of the year.

I wish them luck, but there is no way in hell I’d make that crossing at this time of year.

Both know nothing about climate science. Maybe she can teach him the proper way to say “How dare you?”

He should set Greta up with the Clock Boy. That would be a marriage made in Amish Paradise.
