Obama Is In Alaska Talking About Climate Change, After Giving Shell Oil Approval to Drill In the Arctic

Of course, despite his rhetoric, Obama is heavily supportive of the US oil and gas industries, particularly with the fracking boom of recent years.

So, what's the deal?


Is Obama just paying lip service to environmentalists by talking about climate change, while at the same time, caving into powerful and greedy but destructive corporate interests?

Or is this some sort of weird psy-op, where he pretends to supports the "hoax" of climate change, while silently continuing on with business as usual with petroleum fuels?

As you might guess, I prefer the first explanation. But are there people who believe the second?
