(CNN) Former President Barack Obama championed global leaders' commitment to the Paris Agreement Monday despite the US' withdrawal from the accord.

"The Paris agreement, even with the temporary absence of US leadership, will still be a critical factor in helping our children solve the enormous challenge in civilization," Obama said at a Seoul conference organized by South Korea's Chosun Ilbo media group.

He was probably thinking there is a temporary absence of sane US leadership as well!

U.S. leadership pulled out of the Paris Agreement, in case you missed it.

Well, Obamas not really wrong. You can't very well lead if you take your ball and go home.

Now is that leadership position worth having? That's a debate worth having. I personally would argue that we should have stayed so we could influence the outcome, but does it really matter, probably not.

There was an 8 year absence of leadership, but we fixed that by putting Trump in office.

Definitely absent, and happily temporary. LOL. We see that 45 is definitely MIA. He doesn't know if he's coming or going. Limo anyone? The 'fix' is in alright. Luckily our mayors, nationwide, have stepped up to the plate Re: Paris agreement.

And the ignorance of those people liking what Obama said is staggering. Yes, let's give money we don't have to other countries so they can take advantage of us and make us pay more than any other country, even those countries that could well afford to pay us.

Giving China 13 years to totally stagnate our air is not a good agreement. Trump was right to get away from that bunch of freeloading countries. If countries are really our friends, we won't have to pay them to be friends.

Actually, I wish there was an absence of US leadership. That would be wonderful. If Trump committed to that, I might vote for him next time.

I guess Obama means that if the NWO globalists aren't in charge, nobody is. He's such a cretin.
