The Center for American Progress reports:
Obama is famously low key. That's why on the hit Comedy Central show "Key & Peele", Keegan-Michael Key plays "Luther, President Obama's anger translator". The [annual White House Correspondents' Association dinner], however, is a rare place where the President can cut loose--as long as he uses humor.
In a hilarious admission that he has been too low key to convey the moral outrage justified by humanity's myopic march toward self-destruction--and by the brazen denial of climate science by many conservatives--Obama brought out "Luther" to express that outrage. And then, in an ingenious twist, Obama became so outraged that he didn't need Luther and in fact Luther himself couldn't take the genuinely angry Obama, who says of denial, "What kind of stupid, shortsighted, irresponsible, bull-"
Here's a video of the event.

I'd take that trade, in theory. But I wouldn't want to live on an island for other reasons, not much to do unless you like beaches, surfing and fishing. I base this on the obvious fact that the loudest mouthed AGW promoters haven't stopped bidding up beachfront property anywhere in the world. They say one thing and do the opposite, indicating they themselves do not really believe the sort of scare mongering they push to the mass media.

Right, it's win-win, isn't it? I do feel obliged to issue a spoiler alert, though--the Coast Guard won't be rescuing anybody there. Thus the headlines in 2050 will read, "American Boat People Seeking Asylum After Islands Lost Beneath the Waves."
Washington DC delenda est.
