The local paper also noted that select board member Michael Donaroma noted that propane tanks on the island are typically much smaller in size.<\/p>\n<p>In 2017, Obama was awarded the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award in part for his leadership on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/topic\/climate-change\">climate change<\/a>. That courageous leadership has included calling upon Americans to reduce their use of fossil fuels.<\/p>\n<p>In 2021, the former president <a href=\"https:\/\/www.virginiamercury.com\/2021\/11\/09\/obama-at-world-climate-conference-we-are-falling-short\/\">chided<\/a> the entire globe at the COP 26 conference for failing to meet his expectations in battling global warming.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCollectively and individually, we are still falling short. We have not done nearly enough to address this crisis,\u201d Obama told attendees during a broadcast.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe consequences of not moving fast enough are becoming apparent all the time,\u201d he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.virginiamercury.com\/2021\/11\/09\/obama-at-world-climate-conference-we-are-falling-short\/\">added<\/a>. \u201cThere are times when I am doubtful that humanity can get its act together before it\u2019s too late.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost nations have failed to be as ambitious as they need to be,\u201d Obama also said.<\/p>\n<p>During that speech, Obama also blasted fossil fuel companies\u00a0 \u2014 like the kind that will soon fill his mega-propane tank \u2014 for their supposedly double-handed opposition to the green energy agenda.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is true a lot of climate opposition comes from fossil-fuel companies trying to make a buck, despite the green ads that they run on TV,\u201d he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.virginiamercury.com\/2021\/11\/09\/obama-at-world-climate-conference-we-are-falling-short\/\">said<\/a> on TV. \u201cIt\u2019s true that there are climate deniers, who for ideological reasons you will never convince.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve got to persuade the guy who has to drive to his factory job every day, can\u2019t afford a Tesla, and might not be able to pay his rent or feed his family if gas prices go up,\u201d Obama added. \u201cTransition from dirty energy to clean energy does have a cost, and it\u2019s not unreasonable for people who often are already economically vulnerable and don\u2019t feel politically empowered \u2026 to think that for all the highfalutin talk, the costs will be borne by them, not by the powerful and the privileged.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Obama\u2019s property on the swanky Massachusetts island is also prone to the ravaging effects of climate change based on some data.<\/p>\n<p>In 2021, the Associated Press <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/business-climate-environment-and-nature-climate-change-7f95efdc760622e19732b8e910907c22\">reported<\/a>, \u201cThe \u2018State of the Coast\u2019 report by the Trustees, a prominent Massachusetts conservation group, says the popular tourist destinations off Cape Cod risk losing hundreds of acres of marshlands to flooding and billions of dollars in coastal homes, buildings and infrastructure to erosion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The media outlet noted that according to experts, Martha\u2019s Vineyard could face daily tidal flooding.<\/p>\n<p>It is unclear how that flooding will impact Obama\u2019s underground propane tanks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former President Barack Obama has been approved to install several propane tanks totaling 2,500 gallons on his Martha\u2019s Vineyard property.
