Rick Scott on climate change — part of a broader White House effort to use the issue to help Democrats and hurt Republicans ahead of the 2016 elections. White House officials readily admit that Mr. Obama seeks an "elevated political debate" on the issue of climate change and also say Republicans are playing with fire by either denying man-made global warming or downplaying its effects. The president's trip to the Florida Everglades — where he will talk both about protecting national parks and natural wonders, and his controversial climate-change agenda — has clear political undertones.https://climatechangedispatch.com/wp-content/uploads/images_pics8_obama.jpg
