Priorities: Obama says he’s more worried about climate change than ISIS

In an interview published in The Atlantic magazine, President Barack Obama showed where his priorities lay when he said he’s more worried about non-existent climate change (the most recent name used to describe global warming) than ISIS, the radical Islamic group terrorizing the Middle East.

“ISIS is not an existential threat to the United States,” he told Jeffrey Goldberg. “Climate change is a potential existential threat to the entire world if we don’t do something about it.”

Moreover, he blamed “climate change” for the rise of ISIS.

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?

Fusion’s Rob Wile added:

Climate change is particularly worrisome, Obama said, because “it is a political problem perfectly designed to repel government intervention. It involves every single country, and it is a comparatively slow-moving emergency, so there is always something seemingly more urgent on the agenda.”

And climate change is probably helping fuel groups like ISIS, he said.

You read that right.

Keep in mind, this is the same man who said the planet will boil over if people in Africa have air conditioning.

“Ultimately, if you think about all the youth that everybody has mentioned here in Africa, if everybody is raising living standards to the point where everybody has got a car and everybody has got air conditioning, and everybody has got a big house, well, the planet will boil over — unless we find new ways of producing energy,” he said.

Just so you understand, in Obama’s world, climate change is worse than radical Islamic terrorists cutting off the heads of everyone they see…

Heaven help us…
