Bog post of the Weekly Address:Meeting the Global Threat of Climate Change
[font color=red]Attention: This post is in the Barack Obama Group, also known as the BOG. Those who have a generally negative view of President Obama and his administration, support his defeat in the 2012 presidential election (in primaries or the general election), or who are generally supportive of those who do, are not welcome in the Barack Obama Group.[/font]Published on Aug 29, 2015
In this week's address, the President spoke about his upcoming trip to Alaska, during which he will view the effects of climate change firsthand. Alaskans are already living with the impact of climate change, with glaciers melting faster, and temperatures projected to rise between six and twelve degrees by the end of the century.
