Obama on Need to Combat Global Warming: ‘We Only Get One Planet’

‘There is no plan B’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

"There are more than 7 billion people alive today. No matter what country they are from, no matter what language they speak, every one of them can look at this image and say, that is my home. We are the first generation to feel the impact of climate change. We are the last generation that can do something about it. We only get one home. The only get one planet.

There is no plan B. I do not want my grandkids not to be able to swim in Hawaii are not to be able to climb a mountain and see the glacier, because we did not do something about it. I do not want millions of people's lives disrupted and this world more dangerous because we did not do something about it. That would be shameful of us. This is our moment to get this right believe something better for our kids. Let's make most of that opportunity.

Thank you, everybody. God bless you. God bless the United States of America. Thank you."
