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.

    No offence taken, I don't think you're being rude. I'm surprised you see any kind of (quasi) religious content in my post. I'm not a religious person. I think I was just stating the fact that 'Nature' includes Humans. You and other posters may find this hard to believe, or even think that humans are somehow 'above' nature. That's simply not true. By the way, with nature I mean the physical universe, not only earth.

    You then fill in my thoughts about some rose tinted agrarian utopia you made up and that I'm supposed to be longing for, both of which I also never spoke. And you assume a 'great purge' of some kind. You further believe that I would want to 'go back' in time somewhere, which I also didn't say and by the way is also not true.

    The world has indeed been overpopulated before, and the pospulation has also been cut before, for instance by epidemic disease. These are plain facts. You may find them scary, or not agree with them, then we arrive at the original point of science, and how some people don't seem to be able to get that.

    I agree with the last two paragraphs of your post.
