The consequences of leaving climate change unaddressed “can be measured in lost lives,” President Obama said today in his speech laying out a new administration plan for America’s climate-change and energy future. Speaking at Georgetown University, Obama presented a handful of recent natural disasters to emphasize the urgency of the situation.
“We know that the costs of these events can be measured in lost lives and lost livelihoods,” as well as financial costs, the president said. “Those that are already feeling the effects of climate change don’t have time to deny it.”
