the Obama administration’s EPA is about to crack down on airline emissions in order to save the planet from excess carbon emissions that lead to manmade global warming.
Obama invited the best nature documentarian "on the planet" to a private White House
If Barack Obama wants you to fly across the Atlantic to talk about nature for a half-hour, then you do it.But Obama probably doesn’t want you to do that. He wanted legendary nature documentarian and environmental advocate Sir David Attenborough. According to the Telegraph, Attenborough was flown to the White House from his London home last month for a 30-minute meeting with the president. Apparently the president is a big nature buff—though the meeting seems like it was a bit odd. Attenborough revealed the meeting at a public event in London on Tuesday.From the Telegraph:Sir David said his audience with the President took place in the Blue Room of the White House and saw the two men discuss climate change, conservation and Mr Obama’s “feeling for nature”.Even upon leaving Washington, though, Attenborough admits he was “baffled” as to why Obama called for the meeting in the first place, other than just to chat. “He wanted to make it clear that he was not a philistine in this matter [of the environment]. He is on the side of the natural world and that's what he wanted to be clear,” the documentarian said. Attenborough also got the sense from his meeting that Obama may want to dedicate his post-presidency years to environmental issues.
