The world's greatest cities will one day be underwater unless Americans begin to take climate change seriously, President Barack Obama says.

Breitbart reports the commander in chief, speaking to Democratic donors at a fundraiser on Manhattan's Upper West Side in New York City, said:

"When scientists tell us that the planet is getting warmer and we need to do something about it, the majority of people think that's a good idea, let's do something about that, because we don't want Manhattan to be underwater."

He says that like it's a bad thing....

But hey: doesn't "Venice on the Hudson" have a nice sound to it? 

(More seriously -- wtf does this guy think "underwater" would actually mean?)

Trump, Donald Jr, Ivanka and Eric asked Obama to do something about "climate change" in 2009.

Why hasn't Obama fixed it yet?  /sarc

If Trump does win the whole shootin' match, his supporters are going to be so disappointed by about the end of the first year of his presidency.
He's going to show them just how far left he really is.
Justin Trudeau and Barack Obama say "ISIL". The rest of the world says "ISIS". Hmmm ...

So if I laugh at climate change, I can drown New York City?


Win, win!

Works for me, but I'd rather see Hollywood go under first.

"we don't want Manhattan to be underwater."

Not seein' the downside...
My political philosophy:

1) I'm not bothering anybody.
2) It's none of your business.
3) Leave me alone!

Maybe Hollywood can get the long over due 9.0 quake.
