(Photo by Joe Raedle/Getty Images) Saturday morning, President Obama gave a speech on climate change to preview a bigger speech on climate change.
In the Presidents weekly Saturday morning address, he declared that hes headed to the Florida Everglades Wednesday Earth Day to talk about the way that climate change threatens our economy.
The Everglades is one of the most special places in our country, the president said. But its also one of the most fragile. Rising sea levels are putting a national treasure and an economic engine for the South Florida tourism industry at risk.
Climate change can no longer be denied or ignored, said Obama.

"And today, there's no greater threat to our planet than climate change."
Terrorists acquiring nukes, beheadings for Christians, participation in the work force at an all time low, Russia invading and threatening neighbors, but the man child says there is NO GREATER THREAT than my SUV.
Moronic. And the Washington Post ignores his blatantly ignorant statement.
Florida news. Valerie’s man child is intruding this week.
Rick Scott’s lawsuit against him must really have struck a nerve.
A lot of rain falls on California -- and most of it flows directly into the sea, compounding this sea level problem, and directly threatening Florida.
Here's what they should do in California: build a lot of dams. Capture that water. Use it to counteract their drought. And save the Everglades.
Is Obama "for" or "against"?
Here gator gator...c’mon gator gator...
Snack time....
Who is denying that the climate changes? If it wasn't for climate change, there'd be no Great Lakes, no Niagara Falls, no Yosemite Sam National Park, no GLACIER National Park.
All these natural wonders were carved out by advancing and retreating glaciers.
Mr. Obola, why do you hate Niagara Falls? What did Yosemite Sam National Park ever do to you? Would you prefer the Great Lakes remain a mountain of ice?
"...at least Biden...pulllesssss"
gators
How much CO2 is going to spewed into the atmosphere by Air Force One and all the planes that accompany it everywhere Preezy Obola goes?
1st....He's hiding after his Iran mess.
2nd....Tiger Woods lives in Florida.
As a footnote...Does he spend any time with his kids?
I live at the other end of the state, I might drive up to GA. for the day just so I don’t have to be in the same state.
I don’t think that they are his kids. I also do not think that Michelle is a woman. I would need to see to results of a DNA test before I changed my mind.
And don’t forget The Beast. Even though it is diesel, with all that armor and the gearing they use to accelerate quickly, it probably gets the fuel economy of my F250 while towing our travel trailer.
heh....heh....heh
The pythons and monitors are saving the everglades.
Go Gators!
I think it is followed by a fueling truck with a hose permanently connecting the two vehicles.
Remember the trip he took a couple years back to Asia? He stopped in Seattle to do a photo op with people whose homes had been crushed in a landslide.
I did some cursory research on the amount of fuel used for his prima donna act. I discovered it will take me FIVE YEARS to burn the same amount of fuel in my car that he burned (on my dollar) in about a week.
EVERY politician who wants to lecture me on the need for more regulation over the environment can shove it.
I hope Scott stands firm - unlike the embarrassing performance that Brewer provided.
You just bought yourself a ticket for the front car of the Bullet Train to Re-education Camp, buster.
I'll see you on it. I'll be the one wearing the "You're still voting DemocRAT? You're stuck on stupid" t-shirt.
“A bird flies over the sensitive ecological landscape”
Well, I’ll be. The Washington Post gave Obama the bird.
