"Visiting The Everglades, Obama Takes Swipe At Climate Change Deniers"

"President Obama used the backdrop of the Florida Everglades this Earth Day to highlight the dangers posed by a changing climate. He also took a swipe at Florida's Republican governor, who's been accused of discouraging state workers from discussing global warming.

'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.'

Earlier this year, the Florida Center for Investigative Reporting quoted former state workers who said they'd been instructed not to use the term 'climate change.' Florida Gov. Rick Scott denied issuing any such edict. But he's also ducked questions about whether he believes that a rise in heat-trapping carbon pollution is contributing to a climb in global temperatures."

Scott Horsley reports for NPR April 22, 2015.
