President Obama helped celebrate Earth Day by visiting the Florida Everglades to give a speech dedicating the Marjory Stoneman Douglas home in Miami and to taunt Republicans on their ludicrous position on climate change. He began his speech by acknowledging the threat that global warming poses to the planet, despite the chilly winter that much of the east coast experienced. The president even poked fun at Senator Inhofe for trying to disprove climate change by throwing a snow ball in the senate earlier this year.
