"We do not have time to deny the effects of climate change," Obama said.

"This is not some impossible problem that we cannot solve," he said. "We can solve it if we have some political will."

"Here in the Everglades you can see the effect of a changing planet," he said, citing the increased sea level which can harm the freshwater surrounding.

"It's clear the impacts of climate change aren't just a challenge for future generations. We're facing them here and now," said Dan Utech, the deputy assistant to the President for Energy and Climate Change.
