Here’s
the article that include some adjectives word :
President Obama plans to spotlight his
climate change plans next week, saying Saturday that "there's no greater
threat to our planet" than ever-rising temperatures.
The week will be built around a
presidential trip to the Florida Everglades on Wednesday, which is Earth Day.
"The Everglades is one of the most
special places in our country, but it's also one of the most fragile,"
Obama said in his weekly radio address. "Rising sea levels are putting a
national treasure — and an economic engine for the South Florida tourism
industry — at risk."
Overall, Obama called 2014 the planet's
warmest year on record, and said that 14 of the 15 hottest years on record took
place is this still-young century.
While skeptics like to point to the recent
harsh winter in the United States, Obama said that "around the world, it
was the warmest ever recorded."
The results include more violent storms,
deeper droughts, and more intense wildfires, Obama said.
In response, the United States is cutting
carbon pollution, and working on a global agreement with other nations on
emissions cuts, Obama said. At the same, it is working on clean energy sources
like wind power and solar power, and requiring better fuel efficiency standards
in cars and trucks.
Republicans said Obama's climate change
rules burden businesses, particularly in the coal industry, and have led to
higher utility rates. Some carbon emission rules are being challenged in court.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell,
R-Ky., and other critics have said that global treaties put more of a burden on
the United States than on major polluters, such as China and India.
Republicans climate change plans include
increased hydro power, clean natural gas, and clean coal technology.
"Over the last seven years, President
Obama's crusade against affordable American energy has hurt middle-class
families and our economy," said Cory Fritz, a spokesman for House Speaker
John Boehner, R-Ohio.
In his radio address, Obama said that
climate is "an issue that's bigger and longer-lasting than my
presidency." He said it is about "protecting our God-given natural
wonders," and "shielding our cities and our families from disaster
and harm" generated by global warming.
"This is the only planet we've
got," he said. "And years from now, I want to be able to look our
children and grandchildren in the eye and tell them that we did everything we
could to protect it."
