Obama opens his World Climate Summit remarks on a familiar theme

At #COP26 in Glasgow, Obama takes shots at Trump: “Of course some of our progress stalled when my successor decided to unilaterally pull out of the Paris agreement in his first year in office. I wasn’t real happy about that."

In Glasgow, Obama hits Republicans: Biden and I "have been constrained in large part by the fact that one of our two major parties has decided not only to sit on the sidelines, but express active hostility toward climate science, and make climate change a partisan issue."

Obama to young people on global warming: “Vote like your life depends on it, because it does”
