Obama Vows to Battle Global Climate Change in West Point Speech

President Obama delivered a major policy speech Wednesday, claiming that fighting climate change was every bit as important to America’s national security as stopping terrorism or working to stop countries from obtaining nuclear weapons.

The world, Obama insisted, needed to come together to address this looming global threat.

Obama detailed forthcoming policy from his administration that would save the planet from this crisis.

Obama chided skeptics who undercut his dedication to fighting climate change, pointing out that America had to lead the world on this issue by example.
