President Barack Obama's attendance at the Nov. 30 UN Climate Change Conference in Paris on the heels of the Nov. 13 terrorist attacks there is interesting considering he has blamed terrorism on climate change and sees it – not terrorism – as a greater threat. Case in point, in his 2015 State of the Union address he said, "No challenge poses a greater threat to future generations than climate change," and he told Vox earlier this year he "absolutely" believes the media "overstates the level of alarm people should have about terrorism" as opposed to "climate change."https://climatechangedispatch.com/wp-content/uploads/images_pics8_obama_whdotgove.jpg
