President Barack Obama warned of increased skepticism on global warming and related legislative initiatives - as more Americans question the threat.
Citing "overwhelming scientific evidence," U.S. President Barack Obama sought to paint a picture of a "marginalized" population of global warming critics ahead of a key congressional push on cap and trade legislation. Speaking at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on Friday, Obama warned that the opposition will intensify as Congress gets closer to shaping a climate change bill.
"There are going to be those who... make cynical claims that contradict the overwhelming scientific evidence when it comes to climate change, claims whose only purpose is to defeat or delay the change that we know is necessary," Obama said.
