Geez, what does he do for an encore?
"White House Senior Advisor Valerie Jarrett is quietly working behind the scenes to build a coalition of major U.S. corporations to back President Barack Obama's goal of hashing out a global agreement to cut greenhouse gas emissions at the upcoming United Nations summit in Paris.
The Daily Caller News Foundation obtained a letter that outlines how, by the end of June, Obama is looking to build a coalition of businesses to show support for UN climate talks. After that, the White House will then try to grow this group of businesses to 250 in the run up to the Paris talks this November.
The way the letter is written, it's likely being circulated by someone or some group on behalf of the White House. The source could not disclose who was circulating the letter on the White House's behalf, but did confirm the business they work for was approached to support the Paris climate talks......."
Nov 30, 2015 - Slate: Bill Gates Is Finally Tackling Climate Change. That's Good News for the Climate
"At the same time, Gates is spearheading something called the Breakthrough Energy Coalition, a group of 28 private investors who will commit various amounts of their respective fortunes to clean energy ventures, provided the governments follow through on their promises. Gates is personally pledging to invest $1 billion, while others have not yet announced the size of their contributions. Among the tech magnates participating are Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg, Amazon's Jeff Bezos, Virgin's Richard Branson, Alibaba's Jack Ma, Hewlett-Packard Enterprise's Meg Whitman, LinkedIn's Reid Hoffman, and SalesForce's Marc Benioff. More are expected to sign on in the days to come.
Gates' leadership here is significant. He and his wife, Melinda Gates, have built the world's largest private foundation, and they've dedicated their efforts in developing countries to fighting poverty and disease. Perhaps belatedly, Gates appears to be recognizing that climate change could undo all of that good work....
Gates' charitable efforts in some fields, including U.S. education, have been criticized by some as naive and misguided. (Zuckerberg, too, has misfired on education funding.) But his technocratic approach could be a breath of fresh air in the climate battle, which is too often viewed as a zero-sum conflict: between energy producers and environmentalists, government regulators and private industry, rich countries and poor countries........"

LOL what an idiot!!!
I randomly clicked on a spot in his speech. Villages in Alaska are now submerged, tundra is burning. LOL
I loathe Obama with every fiber of my being.
Would have loved to see everyone take off a shoe and throw it at our dear leader......
Algore is soooooo jealous. He wanted to be king of Globull warming. Now, Odumbo is stealing his spotlight.
What you just have to love about the arrogant bastard is his pauses in speech after each powerful and thoughtful spillage of vile puke delivered as a magnificent oratory from the mouth of one who is so great that he must pause in his might delivery so that the little people can completely absorb his mighty thoughts and fill their tiny brains with echos of his tripe.
The lesser ones need to abide by the rules, even the “time’s up bell” but not him, the most important man in the world when he speaks. He will go down in history along with Kerry as the most embarrassing monkeys in the history of American government.
The moderator may wish to use a portable air horn in the future.
for later
Time limits?
They’re for the proles, and NOT America’s Emperor.
