(Bloomberg) -- President Barack Obama said dealing with climate change can’t be left to another generation and called out Republicans who’ve fought to derail his environmental agenda.
Obama toured the Florida Everglades on Wednesday to mark Earth Day and deliver a speech highlighting the economic costs of climate change. Using the backdrop of the Everglades’ fragile ecosystem, Obama sought to make the case for his environmental agenda while indirectly criticizing Republicans who’ve questioned humanity’s impact on global temperatures. They include Florida’s governor and two potential candidates for the party’s 2016 presidential nomination from the state.
“Climate change can no longer be denied,” Obama said. “It can’t be edited out, it can’t be omitted from the conversation and action can no longer be delayed.”
